Anyone buy Go Pro in the IPO?

My son requested 100 shares and only got 12.

Anyone else get in on the action. Good or bad, perhaps it's just a flash in the pan.

I don't see Gopro reaching the masses unless their cameras find their way in to cell phones or something. Great product none the less. But what the hell do I know.

My thoughts exactly... Unless they come up with something new and groundbreaking, it's hard to imagine what the average joe will see in these things that can't be done with a cell phone. Are there very many "extreme sports" types that don't already own one?

I'm gonna licence Gogar's copyright on that short!

I can't strap my phone to my chest and go snowboarding without killing my phone. It also won't record 6 hours of HD video. The GoPro was the first hardcore action cam, and has serious market share. Can they keep it is the question?

I'm surprised that GoPro hasn't squeezed out a 4k 30fps camera yet.

They're squeezing 4K video out of the Samsung Galaxy S5 phone...
