This week’s Momentum Trader Alert recommendation tracks the investment of media mogul Oprah Winfrey with Weight Watchers International, Inc. (WTW).

Two years ago, Weight Watchers International, Inc. (WTW) was a struggling company. The stock was well under $10 per share as investors had all but given up on the company.

But then Oprah took a 10% stake in the company for $43.2 million. Since then, the stock has soared.

Weight Watchers International, Inc. (WTW) versus the S&P 500 over three months.
