Just recent had its IPO, what do yall think about this stock? discuss (IRBT)

 

I've seen their profits rise, but firmly believe in the Peter Lynch method of investing in things you buy/like.

I bought one of their vacuums for my wife last year for Christmas. The first time we used it, it picked up all the needles which had fallen off the Christmas tree in the weeks leading up to x-mas... then went across the front foyer and dumped everything it had picked up in the first room all over my dining room floor.

So we ended up manually vacuuming the dining room rather than the family room. All the irobot did was move the mess from one room to another one. We packed it back up and returned for a full refund. In my eyes, it's a POS.

Because that's how I see the products they sell, I do think it's more of a fad product than a long term success story. Just my feelings.. I don't have anything official to show that they don't have a good plan or good products as far as the mass market is concerned..

If I'm not personally happy with the product/company, they don't get my $$.. This method of thinking has worked fine for me over the past 8 years or so since I began investing in stocks.

 

I cant stand wil smith.

 

they're going to make robots ?

 

Their consumer robots (Roomba, Scooba) never impressed me.

However I have seen their government robots on TV and they look pretty damn cool. The military uses them.

Comments like this are impressive

 

i haven't heard too many good things about the roomba, but it is a start to something that can be real innovative and thats where i see this compnay having reall good potential

 

so far its been pretty stagnant around low 30s... too early to tell
