By the way ---- In case someone is new or maybe someone is MISSING the reason for the discussions of a name such as GoPro....


It's not about GoPro. It's about learning from names like this coming to market via an IPO. Ways to think about any business model. Ways to think about investing in IPO's in general. What happens to them - good or bad over time. It's about me - as well as others here - trying to get people to think about their investing style and tolerance for "risk assets". Get them to think about how they feel about missing an investment - or if they are invested - how they feel when it doesn't go up every day...

This is an effort to infuse the human response into investing - because it can't be discounted. Some can handle the risk well -- and some panic and sell out -- and some can't sleep -- and some guys thrive on it. We just don't know who is what type - so I'm attempting to just give you food for thought so you can find out.
