Funny everyone reacted as though the way Facebook was priced was a criminal act. Cant win for losing on wall st eh? Wall st isn't under pricing to create a pop

IPOs are almost never underpriced. The incentive is to overprice.

Well, I'm up quite a bit lol. Who would have thought I could get a pop buying it after it starts trading. I'm thinking about selling it now....

I sold at 37.75 but I believe it will go higher eventually. However, this kind of pop happened too fast, which is why i sold now.

I don't understand what GPRO has. I have Iphone and my wife has Samsung. Between both of this phone, we can take a great video, pics and talk on the phone. GPRO only thing you can do is take video. Did I miss something ??

can you drop your phone from a building, using it underwater, attach it to just about everything?

It does time lapse, video plus picture burst in various modes. It produces much better video in action more than either phone will. It has remote control capabilities either through the gopro remote or the app. Mine has built in wifi to transfer data and control the camera. The durability, mounting option are among other superior functions and it will crush the iPhone on storage. It does a lot more than the camera phone will.


It's a toy though and I don't use mine that much. I will take it with me to the Bahamas in two weeks so I will get some use then
