Laura Goldman, where are you?
Another nice day on Wall Street. Now I’m scared!
Great news. I got those shares for about $100,000. Will not sell, for sure!
Laura Goldman is now a convicted extortionist.
iCal Laura Goldman from awhile back.
Now I see why Apple is building its cash reserves: to buy Disney!
@John – I like your thinking.
Up Up and Away !!!!!!!

September 16th wasThursday, not Friday.
For those of you who still insist on bringing up Laura Goldman and think it’s clever, recall that AAPL went from near $200 down to below $80 (after “Laura Goldman”) before attaining it current glory. MDN knows better and has a better memory… you don’t see her name in their takes anymore, do you? ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
Move on people… there are plenty of more recent bozo analysts to ridicule.
Great job Apple. Now, I’ll have to start thinking about when to take some profits again.
Apple now worth ELEVEN times dell.
@ ken1w
Jim Cramer, perchance? Why he walks around free, still pontificating, after publicly admitting to manipulation is just stunning…
Moving closer to Exxon- Mobil.
A billion at a time.
What goes Up keeps goin’ Up higher!!! AAPL ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
2010 = $301 Zero debt. $46 Billion in Cash.
2011 = $401 period! … Record Profits ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
BUY AAPL and hold on for the Up ride!!!!!!!!!!
Retirement $$$$ are lookin’ goood ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
AAPL only dropped in the $70s BECAUSE of Laura Goldman and her ilk spreading FUD and mindlessly intoning the conventional wisdom that in an economic downturn the sales of Apple products would suffer. Nothing in Apple’s fundamentals merited the drop, engineered by WS analysts.
@ Jake
Actually, Apple dropped from near $200 to below $80 because of the “perfect storm” of the financial crisis and Steve Jobs health rumors (followed by his medical leave followed by news of his transplant operation). It had very little to do with the content of Laura Goldman’s analysis. And Apple performed impeccably through the entire period, whether the stock was $200 or $80.
Unfortunately, there could be another financial crisis and Steve Jobs has returned “irreplaceable” status. So be careful and realistic, fellow AAPL investors… Apple is and will continue to be a great company. But AAPL, the stock, is an “investment,” not the company; keep those two things separate. Deciding when to sell some is just as important as deciding when to buy some. And Apple (the company) will do its magic, whether AAPL is $100 or $1000.
Apple is now bigger than both IBM and HP combined. Cool !!
Fucking buy Adobe already!!!
