Apple shares hit new all-time closing high – again

1. “In the Gates/Jobs face off over the last 30 years, it is becoming obvious who is going to have the last laugh…and it won’t be Gates.”

   Apple has a long way to go before it’s even close to what Microsoft’s done over the last 30 years.

   Even Then Steve’s still running from behind.

   He’s got to increase his personal net worth by a factor of ten, which would require all of Apple’s earnings for the next 30 years to do.

   He then has to turn around and stop making consumer electronic devices and focus on using all that money to address issues like world hunger, Aids and disease prevention and education.

   Basically for Steve it’s already too late. It’s highly unlikely he’ll ever have as much money as Bill Gates, or be able to make a positive philanthropic impact on the world the size Bill gates will.

2. @back to the real world;

   Personal wealth isn’t everything. That’s why Gates is willing to give a chunk of it away.

   Jobs has had a bigger positive affect on the world of computing than Gates ever will, cause when Apple builds something, the industry follows.

   And if you’re giving huge amounts of stuff away just for the credit, then you’re losing something you could have gained. Jobs at least is honest about what he wants; building the best computing experience in the world. It must be nice to achieve your goals like he has!

   [disclaimer: note I didn’t say Jobs & Co. INVENTED something. I said BUILDS something. There’s a difference. Innovation is taking something someone else had invented and using it in a new and creative way.

   Apple innovates. Microsoft copies.]

   Bill would never have done so much of that without Melinda. She deserves more credit for giving away Bill’s ill-gotten gains.

5. LSG Capital? Hahahaha – Laura Goldman runs this sham from a seedy apartment in Tel Aviv. She claims to have worked on Wall Street for 20 years but she doesn’t say that she was thrown out of the US after a failed blackmail attempt against Thomas H Lee, the last of many such attempts against the likes of Paine Webber, Peter Kaplan and many others.

   Investment advice from LSG Capital? Hahahahahaha

6. Laura Goldman is one of those hindsight traders. “I bought here and sold there – aren’t I great?” but when she makes a call ahead of time look what happens!

   If she was so great she’d make enough cash to get outta that rented dive she lives in (the global headquarters for LSG Capital!)
