Oprah Loses Weight Stock Market Gains

Jan 29, 2016, 04:20 PM

On Tuesday, Oprah tweeted that she'd lost 26 pounds using Weight Watchers, sending stocks up and up...22%. Oprah—an investor and spokesperson for Weight Watchers—tweeted a video in which she claims she was able to lose the weight while continuing to eat bread. That tweet appears to be responsible for sending Weight Watchers shares as high as $13.54. Weight Watchers stock performing inversely to Oprah's weight is a growing trend, as the same thing happened a few months ago when she announced on Ellen that she'd lost 15 pounds.
