"I'm putting a sell on Laura Goldman." CEO of LSG Capital, May 22, 2007

She's gotta be seriously hating MDN by now. Keep it up, it's hilarious.

Give it a rest you morons!

Laura,

Please wipe off that big "L" from your forehead.

Turning Mountains into Mole hills!

"Laura Goldman": verb; colloquial: To commit a foolish and sizable investing blunder, which costs the perpetrator, and/or their clients, a large amount of money in lost profits.
Usage: "The broker pulled a 'Laura Goldman' and advised his clients to sell their Toyota stocks, two days before they tripled in value."

When the stock drops 20 bucks on the day of earnings you idiots will be left holding the bag.

Yeah, of cash! Let's see... $138.00 - $20.00 = $118.00. And what was the price again when you recommended the "sell"? Thought so.

Now let's see if I understand you completely, Laura . . .

When you said sell at $111, you were WRONGWRONGWRONG! But now when you say AAPL will be at $119 next Wednesday after the earnings reports, you'll be RIGHTRIGHTRIGHT.

Hmmm. Based on your track record thus far, I see no reason to follow your advice at this point. In fact, based the truth of your past:

Laura Goldman was successfully charged with blackmail and false allegation against Thomas H Lee and was subsequently barred from the US. She'd made other attempts to extort money under threat of false allegation against many others including Peter Kaplan and the entire management team at Paine Webber. All fact, all public record. Now she runs "LSG Capital" which is basically just her and run from her two-bit apartment in Tel Aviv from where she recently issued a sell call on Apple at the same time as it was making repeated record highs. This disgraced and deranged individual should not be given a voice on sites such as these.

Three times Goldman was convicted of harassing Lee and others, and at one point she spent four months in a federal prison.

Furthermore . . .

Goldman and her story finally dropped out of sight around 1996. But in fact, Goldman's assault has continued unabated for years against Lee, his family, neighbors, business associates, and almost anyone connected with him, according to a recently unsealed federal indictment against Goldman. The indictment and affidavits from the US attorney's office and the FBI charge that Goldman has continually tried to extort money from Lee; has threatened to kill him, his children, and other members of his family; has threatened to kill a federal judge and to send anthrax-filled envelopes to unspecified targets. She also tried to disrupt at least one of Lee's financial transactions, the indictment says.

@Randian...
Seriously???? Wow.

@Randian...

Holy Geemoly Batman.....that really is stunning.

"When the stock drops 20 bucks on the day of earnings you idiots will be left holding the bag."

Looking at the 20 year history for Apple stock I cannot find any day that Apple lost 20 dollars on the previous day. What ludicrous reason can you make up to explain such a severe drop? More likely, when Apple does not drop 20 bucks as you have stated, you will be the one proved to be the idiot.

@Randian

I read about Laura Goldman after the iPhone came out and MDN again was referring to her sell quote. This woman is not stable. She made a stupid remark, but seriously, MDN should probably stop this. There is nothing worse than a psycho who wants to harm you. Take it from someone who has been targeted by someone. This has probably gone far enough. Anonymous commenters are one thing. MDN staff and editors are another. Just be careful.

Lolz at AAPL! iPhone will be recalled and the stock will drop to $8!

Errr any day now, trust me!

Hey, Laura Goldman is my sister. Leave her alone!

Randian's post is all fabrications and lies and I demand MDN remove the slanderous comment immediately!

Your potential. Our passion.™

Umm, can we please stop with all these "all-time closing high - again." This is seriously getting on my nerves. Is MDN going to tell is this for the next 5 years? I think we are all capable of checking the status of Apple stock.

I think MDN's answers to your questions are "no" and "yes".

The detailed information concerning Laura Goldman (above) came straight from the website, not your family album, Zune. You can relax; most of the other skeletons in your closet are resting quite comfortably.

Your shame. Our revelation.™

It was joke, ok? Do you really believe I'm the REAL Laura Goldman?? LMAO

@ Ben
"Is MDN going to tell us this for the next 5 years?"

I certainly hope so!!!

@ Laura G

We ALL know that, "LG." Don't take yourself and your sense of humour so seriously, OK? You are NOT Chris Rock, OK?

the percywalker.com site has a reference to this blog, and some of Laura Goldman's rants against people at Paine Webber. A seriously deranged woman.

why all world´s crookes are ending up in Israel ?

There are plenty enough crooks to go around, louis, so Israel hasn't cornered the market. From East to West, from First World to Third World, every country in the UN has an almost inexhaustible supply of miscreants. Just look over your shoulder; I bet there's one within yards of your computer!

Um, clearly you're not looking too hard. Yes, there was a day when Apple lost 50% of its value in one day... approximately $50 of its value in one day. This happened in the late 90's sometime, I believe. Some bad news came out of Apple -- I think it was the one quarter Steve Jobs was back where Apple did not turn a profit or something like that. I forgot what the announcement was, but the stock dropped a full 50% in one day.

"A seriously deranged woman."

Sounds like the future ex-Mrs. Twisted Mac Freak.
I can dig that Hillary on acid, paint my Empress blue, smack my ass hard and call me Hildegarde kind of goddess.

Yep, I recall that one. I was at a tech show in Texas when a trusted friend who worked at Apple (Austin) said they were going to miss a profit goal for that quarter . . . and all heck broke loose the next day.

Still, I've held on to AAPL through thick and thin, to the point that my original $67K investment is now worth $791K.

Short-terming ANY decent stock is poor practice, I've found in my 59+ years. Even if next Wednesday's figures prove to be less than stellar, the future for this particular equity is, to quote Steve J, "off the charts."

"Looking at the 20 year history for Apple stock I cannot find any day that Apple lost 20 dollars on the previous day"

In relative terms, you'd be looking for days when the stock dropped 14% or more.

@MacBill

You're correct. It was the first sign that the dotcom bubble had burst. Apple announced that it had a high inventory of their stock including the iMac. IIRC the stock lost 90% in a few days. Had peaked at $150. Got bash bad by the Street. In the ensuing months the other PC manufacturers came out with similar results but never got hurt as bad. It was somewhere in late 2000.

It is unlikely that Apple will suffer something similar now since they have multiple platforms performing. In those days the iMac was it. OSX was just being released and the desktops were nothing to write home about.

What ever happen to a company called "Dell"? <GRIN>

Fake Steve Jobs gave me the insider tip to sell my stock. I should have never believed him, or slept with him. He had a mask on, so even I don't know who he is.

Let he who has not committed a mistake throw the first zune

"What ever happen to a company called "Dell"? <GRIN>"

They're the world's largest PC vendor, that's what happened to them.

Randian accurately quotes from my blog re Laura Goldman, but the quotes aren't mine. They are from a commenter on my blog and a Boston Globe article. The <a href="http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-8897359_ITM">Boston Globe article<a> is, of course, a more reliable source than me or my commenters.

I'm just so dumb I can hardly believe I even know how to buy an stock, let-alone tie my shoes in the morning.

It doesn't stop me passing on this advice to you that Apple is the greatest company ever and I love my Mac and pod and iPhone so you should probably just but some Apple stock.
