She sold in 1988, the company went public in 1989 and Romney testified in 1991. So his statement was not a stock pick.

She decided to sell a large block of a highly illiquid stock just months after the 1987 crash, rather than waiting until it was public, liquidly traded and in the midst of an eventual market recovery.

He was right - at that time, in those circumstances, she likely couldn't have done much better.

No, the complaining woman sold her Staples stock early before it valued upwards.

Romney had nothing to do with the value or the sale. Later the woman came back at her ex to claim more financial support based on her crappy decision.

Now allred is blaming Romney. Of ourse the media will love this.
