I looked for stocks I was familiar with, and I looked at the prices in the paper just before the end of the year.

I'd give Michigan stocks a C-. U.S. stocks didn't do much better.

You could see what looked like a greasy, greenish slick with paper in it.

The only stuff we looked at were incidents for which there are a paper trail ... (and) everything we looked up was full of lies. (Winfrey said) the belief this book is changing the lives of people trumps the fact that maybe the story is a fake. You would expect somebody in her position would take the ethical stand.

The mistake was how that would be personally demeaning. It looked good on paper.

Earnings have grown much more than stock prices. I would be a broad buyer of stocks for the next year.
