Anyway, here's what one reference book, The Grammar Bible, says:
"If a sentence follows the bullet, place a period at the end. Words and phrases that follow bullets need no ending punctuation. It is never necessary to place the conjunction and before the last item in a bulleted list."
Does this make sense?
If it doesn't, then post a comment with a sample bullet pointed-list. I'll give you my suggestion on how to punctuate it.
This is a repeat of a post I originally wrote in January 2006 for another blog. A writer friend recently asked me for this information, so I figured it's time to post it for readers of the Investment Writing blog.
