Verisign or Palo Alto Networks, which would you buy? Tied to your industry?

Does verisign do anything besides issue SSL certs and provide .com registry services? Seems like maybe a dividend play (if it even pays?)

I don't know enough about PA networks to say. Looking at their site, I see a bunch of enterprise network security stuff. Not really a hot market segment, but maybe they have some kind of black magic up their sleeve?

take a look at the PANW financial graphs on yahoo, or anywhere else.. I see a hot company with ridiculously rapid rising revenues that got the pps pushed too high for the earnings, the first wave retail market taking their easy money off the table, and earnings beginning to rise with revenue, meaning the company is managing it's surging income better. They ARE selling product...
My bias is that, tin hat and all, I believe in the sector across all areas. I don't see the hacking business going away anytime soon...it IS whack-a-mole. small business is at least 65% of GDP. One serious breach can ruin a company, sooo...

I actually just purchased a GoPro Hero 4 Silver. Brand new from Best Buy. I probably could have purchased one from someone on here or online for cheaper.

My initial review is:

Positive So Far (Only had it a few days).

  • Awesome Camera
  • Very Small - Compact For It's Feature

Negatives So Far

  • Consistantly have to restart the camera
  • Forgets Settings Regularly
  • Random Features will "Break" and I'll have to pull battery/reset camera
  • PC won't discover the camera when plugged in via USB. Tried all sorts of methods. I have a Surface Pro 3 with all updates.

Awesome little device but I think they pack so much into the UI and making it user friendly that the device doesn't work that well. It never just seems to work. I always have to fuck with something to make it run properly.

Any reasons you decided to just go ahead and buy at full price? Or was Best Buy having a deal?

5% rewards bonus + $50 gift card. So not exactly full price. It was a spur of the moment buy as well so wasn't think correctly except "oooo cool new shiny toy."
 
Have you updated it yet?

My biggest complaint, although I understand why, is you can buy outdated, firmware wise, product.

it's simplistic to do through the iOS app.

Yup, updated to v3.00! If that is the latest that is. It's a fairly simple process so I give them props for that.
 
So someone on reddit posted this, they often talk about GoPro getting owned:

If they are smart they will pivot to the law enforcement bodycam and dashcam market. Get a piece of dat sweet sweet gov't contract money. Heck, even the consumer-use dashcam market is ripe with opportunity.

But it's probably too late...and let's be real, they probably aren't that smart either.

and someone then posted:

They signed a deal with Toyota for gopro mounts to be factory installed in 2016 vehicles. They're slowly going that way

So.. actually would be a fairly smart move. But IDK MY BFF JILL
 
If anyone is trying to make some easy money I would buy FitBit. It's current crash won't last long since we're entering the holiday season. Wouldn't surprise me if it goes from the 27 to 45 by the end of quarter 4.

It's because Fossil just entered the smartwatch category

Gopro ownage continuing as well

Yeah by acquiring misfit. I doubt they will be able to create a completely new smartwatch in the next 2 months. Unless they are literally just slapping a fossil logo on the misfit lol.

The entire electronic gadget market is just getting wrecked.

I work for Palo Alto Networks. I would buy and hold. Can't really comment but great things are coming!

Since when is network security not a hot market segment? It's the future and its a very important market.

That's the beauty of PANW. Their tech changed and continues to change how company view security. With real time updates it's almost
Impossible to attack several targets at the same time.
 
Several targets at a time sound more gummint then enterprise, and from the attackers viewpoint. yeah, thats a beautiful. can they accelerate earnings growth year over year? tha's the metric, boyos.:afm199
