Have you noticed that the rate has been increasing over the past month (from 16% to 27%) and the price has been going down? I thought the rate would have an inverse relationship to the price. I thinking that its getting harder and harder for the shorts to keep this thing down. The rate would be expected to rise as short interest increases. You could even say the interest rate preempts a downswing in PPS at times. We need to see higher volume on an upswing before we can call it a real turnaround, Monday will be interesting to see. The pps will probably drop next week. They've dropped the price every time once rates increase. We need significant news, shorts will be in trouble I feel.

Last time it ran into the 7's the SI was raising along with PPS and Interest rate. When and if we get another major move up, the rate will increase even more until the shorts decide it time to settle their account.

Yah that run up into the $7s was based off of material news if I remember correctly, that move was undoubtedly unexpected and caused some retail shorts to be spooked out of their position while the institutions may have upped interest rates based on increasing risk. It would be interesting to look at the volume on that run up, volume speaks volumes...

Afrezza's first big piece of publicity from a Diabetes resource, I don't recall what media type or who, just remember exciting news. Not interested in researching back for arguments sake.

No, that wasn't significant material news, in fact I recall how that run up occurred in the absence of material news.

I agree with cretin11 there wasn't any material news for the last run up back in may-june when the stock price went from 3.64-7.28. FWIW short interest also went up 30% from 100 million on 4/30 to 131 million on 5/29 and down to 120 million on 6/15. Harrys if you have one please let us know

I think the run up occurred before the Goldman Sachs Healthcare conference in June. The general sentiment was that MNKD would likely announce some good news there, or else why attend the conference of a company that continuously bashed the stock. And of course, there was no news and we began out long slide down to these levels.

no news on that recent 100% runup. i recall scouring the net at the time and found nothing. i eventually concluded that it was someone new taking a large position and/or instie's adding to theirs, which also likely spooked a bit of short covering, since the sp dropped nearly as fast immediately after.

Lumber Liqiudators just had a nice short squeeze. I would never own that stock. Actually I did make a trade on it one day.

Fidelity raised the rate to borrow to 45%. Lenders should get the rate increased after the close.
