There are plenty of evangelists. Hell, come to WISPAPALOOZA and you'll find hundreds of them, hell they'll likely be wearing UBNT shirts! 2. Netgear is their competition? So very far from it. Maybe in AmpliFi...but what about the 4+ other lines, AirMax, AirFiber, UniFi, and the accessories. 3. They are one of the most successful in their core space, the WISP market. And all the disruptive pricing agendas pushed by UBNT have forced competition to become more innovative. When you had to bundle equipment together to make a CPE work versus buying it the way we do today....this has not only helped the industry, but also helped UBNT.

They could look up UBNT's new address but that doesn't help their case so why would they. They shorted UBNT based on the theory that it couldn't work unless it was run by a "real CEO" and management team, I.e people from their club. They got hit hard in the recent run up in share price and are throwing all the mud they can find at the wall in the hopes that some of it might stick. This isn't a research report by a disinterested third party. On Sep 19, 2017, at 8:07 PM, Mathew Howard <mhoward...@gmail.com> wrote: Yeah, there seems to be a lot of complete nonsense in there. They say that nobody is going to sit on a forum helping people setup home router, which may very well be true, but they seem to be assuming that the majority of what Ubiquiti sells is home routers... and I'm pretty sure home routers are actually a pretty tiny percentage of their sales. If you spend a few minutes on the UBNT forums, it's pretty clear that these "evangelists" really do exist, and there are quite a few of them. I could be way off, but as far as I can tell, the majority of UBNT's income is from unifi, airmax and airfiber... and that's a very different market from what the likes of Netgear is dealing with. It's entirely possible that there is some kind of fraud going on, and there are some points in there that are a bit worrying, but there's a lot of stuff in there that makes me think they didn't do anywhere near as much research into the company as they should have before writing something like that.

Some Ubiquiti users actually are evangelists, in spite of Left thinking that's not possible. They do have disruptive products in spite of what Mr Left thinks. Left picked on outsourcing engineering to Latvia like that was obviously stupid....when Latvia does in fact make electronics. So he's clearly not infallible. If the only reason for the empty office photos is that they moved, then that's a huge oversight on Left's part. Seemed like a smoking gun, but I assumed the person writing the report is smart enough to find Ubiquiti's current address. Maybe I assumed wrong. The forum being full of bots and lurkers seemed bad at first pass, but in hindsight I guess all forums are full of bots and lurkers. He also claimed that the amount U.S. distributors buy from UBNT is incongruent with their claimed sales. It could still be right if it's like 90% overseas. Is it? How do we know? Just askin. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Josh Reynolds" <j...@kyneticwifi.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: 9/19/2017 7:21:08 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT. Is it time to buy UBNT stock? I see few points I'm worried about. They moved into a different office in SJ, I know that much. That happened maybe a year ago? Taiwan thing is worrying.
