Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It has long been held in Missouri that a share of stock is the actual property of the shareholder, an intangible property in the nature of a chose in action; the certificate of stock is a "muniment of title." Title to the shares may exist without the stock certificate, which is only evidence of the shareholder's property interest. Duncan v. Kelly, 435 S.W.2d 29, 33 (Mo.App.1968).”
