Oprah's Golden Globes Speech Gives Weight Watchers Big Boost

Oprah Winfrey's stirring speech at the Golden Globe Awards has people talking about her as a possible presidential candidate in 2020.  It's also generating big gains for one of her highest-profile endorsements and investments.  Stock in Weight Watchers jumped more than 12% yesterday.  The $5.71 gain pushed Weight Watchers to 53-62 a share.  Oprah's been endorsing Weight Watchers for years and she bought a 10% stake in the company 2 years ago.  

In her speech Sunday night, Oprah praised women who have called out powerful men for sexual harassment and assault.  She said the time when women have no voice against that kind of abuse is over.
