685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Is it Hunterbrook Media?

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

I've got to look up.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Yeah, anyway.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

And everything pointed back to Hunterbrook.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

There was no corroboration from no other sources from literally every place you saw.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

There's a YouTube video about it all, but it's the person for Hunterbrook on the video.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

There's a blog post about it, but they're just linking back to the Hunterbrook.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Is there any other source for this?

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

And eventually it's just like there's never โ€“ apparently there's never going to be a second source for this.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

It's just going to be Hunter Brooks.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

I figure we should talk about it just in case people want to know about it because we do talk about ubiquity a lot.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

But the disclaimer on the actual article that we will link from Hunter Brooks is based on Hunter Brooks Media's reporting, Hunter Brooks Capital is short on โ€“

the stock symbol for ubiquity and long a basket of comparable securities at the time of publication so i forget i couldn't look this up by googling or you know i didn't couldn't find this in our history but i believe we have talked in the past about a similar situation maybe it was also hunter brooke

where where it's like some company shorts a stock and if you short a stock you make money if that stock price goes down and you lose potentially unlimited money if the stock price goes up so some company will short a stock and then post a negative story about that company in the hopes to make the stock go down and disclaiming it and saying here's a big negative story about ubiquity and by the way just so you know we make money if the stock price of this company goes down

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Which is fine.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Maybe they're shorting it because ubiquity is doing a terrible thing.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

It doesn't mean that they're lying to try to make the stock go down.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Maybe they're saying, hey, we're shorting it because we know they're doing a bad thing and we think people will agree with us and that will make the stock go down and then we'll make money.

But the fact that I cannot find a single other source that doesn't eventually lead back to this 100-book media story makes me question this a little bit.

Now, I fully believe... First of all, it's a fact that Russia is using ubiquity stuff, okay?
