GoPro is teetering on the brink.

It was a really niche market. I don't think they knew that though...

It was (is?) the dominant product in that category, it was awesome. Guess knockoffs have come for it.

Knockoffs and laziness really.

I wonder if they had the foresight to do dashcams, if they'd be more profitable now.

Gordon thought the economy would enter a depression. Not just a recession. He thought the economy had fundamentally changed, would never heal, etc.

I do not think he was right, or that this would make him right.

Economists have called 17 of the past 3 recessions.

This one isn't as good. But, how do you get 3 opinions on the economy? Ask 2 economists.
