Again wrong. I am pretty sure there will be a lot of enthusiasts who will buy a Gopro Mission Pro ILS, not just content creators. Simply because it offers something that doesn't exist in the market and can be used as a hobby for not that much money for what it offers.
3 things are coming into play. Markiplier bought an 8.5 % stake in the company which may have resulted in a slight surge. The Mission 1 Pro ILS is being released tomorrow (new releases also result in a small stock surge). GoPro just announced a merger with Starman Optical (which appears to be a holdings company) for $285 million (they are also having their debt wiped as a result of the merger too). So this has resulted in a huge stock bump for GoPro. I'd keep an eye on the stock, it is dipping again, but considering GoPros helmet release this fall and whatever else the holdings company merger will bring to the table, you may see stock go up again.
Someone was commenting on the CAAP problems in Argentina. From the call: "Our second quarter adjusted EBITDA ex IFRIC 12 was down 4.5% primarily driven by our cargo business in Argentina, lower seat capacity in the domestic market in Argentina and non-recurring costs and expenses in Uruguay. Our cargo business in Argentina was primarily affected by an extraordinary bad year over year comparison base. Labor disruptions at customs in April 2025 resulted in longer cargo storage periods and consequently exceptionally high storage revenues. Seat capacity in Argentina was largely affected by Flybondi's significantly reduced operating fleet and higher fuel prices, non-recurring costs and expenses in Uruguay, including costs associated with the implementation of the new ILS system as well as maintenance and other expenses also weighed on adjusted EBITDA during the quarter."
I mean yea I am but more in response to you. If you don't believe it really go back up this and the other threads... I never claimed to be a macroeconomist. I'm a mathematician by training. Before I retired I did reinsurance reserving and priced ILS's for hedge funds. You still haven't pointed out where my finance knowledge is lacking.
Where have I heard this before? Oh right.... >Plenty of people doubt that Musk will succeed anytime soon in developing a fully reusable booster. >They include John Pike, an aerospace expert, who says a fully reusable rocket is akin to a car that gets 300 miles to the gallon and sells for $1,000. >“He doesn’t know what he’s doing,” Pike said. “He has fallen into the hands of a bunch of people who have convinced him that they're smarter than everybody else.

It is impossible, and if you do it, it will be completely wrecked."

It’s incredibly hard,” said Kurt Eberly, senior director of engineering and deputy program manager for Orbital Sciences Corporation’s Antares rocket. Speaking at a panel during the Third Space and Satellite Regulatory Colloquium in Washington on Thursday, he suggested reusability could eventually be viable for geostationary orbit launches, given the volume of launches flying the same trajectory. “It’s going to take beyond five years to get all that working.” >Tom Tshudy, vice president and general counsel for International Launch Services (ILS), which markets Proton launches, concurred. “Reusability is very difficult,” he said. “I think we’re much further than four to five years off.” >Tshudy, who worked on the Delta Clipper program at McDonnell Douglas in the early 1990s, seemed dismissive of what SpaceX had achieved in its reusability testing to date using a vertical takeoff and landing vehicle called Grasshopper. “A lot of the same things that I see the SpaceX Grasshopper program doing we were doing in the early ’90s with the Delta Clipper,” he said on the same panel.
