the lending rate spike historically precludes a new short attack, no? looks like they're setting up for the ER in the next 10 days or so. Is it possible that much of the recent shorting was naked? Perhaps the shorts are having to find actual shares to borrow. Thus driving up the costs to borrow. MNKD has been on the Regulation SHO Threshold Security List the last two or three days that I've checked. This list is on the www.nasdaqtrader.com website. All I know how to find is that MNKD is on the List for that day. I don't know how or where or if one can find a historical listing of all the days and the number of shares. Nonetheless, MNKD has been on the Reg Sho Naked Short List every damn day recently and of course, our beloved SEC does absolutely nothing about it while Wall Street crooks continue to play MNKD like a fiddle. It stinks, it's corrupt, it's illegal and sadly, tragically it's par for the course for our government of the super-rich, by the uber-rich and for the massively rich. Sorry, a long-winded answer to your question but the answer is OF COURSE, IT'S BEING NAKED SHORTED CONTINUOUSLY AND BRAZENLY every single goddamned day to the detriment of the retail public. What else is new?

What else is new? It has been on that list for over 24 months almost on a daily basis.

But I have been wishing that for three years. I'm just not sure it will ever happen with the way the shorts have been able to get away with so much.

My thoughts can be summed up in two words: international partners. Of course, if you prefer, you could choose another two words: upfront payments. --- The pundits you refer to can (and likely will) try to dish out their worst, but it will take only one announcement by CEO Pfeffer to demonstrated why those pundits rank near the bottom compared to all investment advisors. Matt's MannKind 2.0 Strategy calls for generating immediate cash via international sales of Afrezza. He spoke about that as if it were low-hanging fruit...very confident! He further disclosed that two regional drug distributors from outside the U.S. called MannKind within 24 hours of the Sanofi termination announcement, looking to reopen negotiations that had been taking place before management decided to sign all Afrezza rights over to Sanofi. Yessir, April 5 is only a few weeks away..."short" weeks. After that, everything may change and those "short" weeks may come to an end, IMHO. Perhaps we'll witness the beginning of an epic comeback. I'm with you; but I don't see that happening prior to the 10K release...so in the very short term, I'm more concerned than I am hopeful. Also, I very much prefer the word "payments" as the word "partner" has not had the effect I had hoped for (being mild)...so if I never hear the word "partner" associated with MannKind again, it will be too soon. Also, the word "payment" has had a bit of a checkered past...so I would like to clarify the word payment as "payment of cash consideration to MannKind with no chance or refund, clawback, or any other strings attached." I'm hoping for that kind of payment...but I see that post April...and this month....I don't have much hope for a positive catalyst. Just thinking out loud. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Just recently someone tweeted them a list of Failed-to-deliver. It does harm them as well. But as others said: it doesn't bother the regulators. No clue what their job description is. I lost some Sig money betting on a short squeeze due to regulators stepping in..

Fidelity 26.25% today. (6/16) My cash account only loaning 1/3 of shares! With short interest dropping almost feels like shorts are covering and getting ready for news soon? Shouldn't pps go up? Stock price stays around $1...Churning so price won't go up? Just guessing here...big gap up to $1.67 on TI side.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist. I am baffled the short interest is going down with no increase in price. Also personal question which you don't have to answer. How many shares do you need to have lent out?

Also personal question which you don't have to answer. How many shares do you need to have lent out? $100k worth of stock was the minimum when I started lending program. There are actually 2 ways to get in the Fidelity lending program. One is $100k of the stock you want to lend. The second is have $250k in your investment account with Fidelity. If you don't make either of these benchmarks and want to lend your shares you could always move your shares to Charles Schwab which doesn't have these restrictions. I am not sure what requirements IB(interactive brokers) has for loaning shares, will have to ask my friend that uses them, but he is on vacation. Note, Between my friends and I we use IB, Fidelity and Schwab and all lend out shares. Schwab seems to be the best for the small investor, Fidelity give the best continuous rate(usually 3-4% more than Schwab) but has high minimums, and IB is for people who know what they are doing and allows for the potential to make the most because their rate changes daily and they will also let you make your own deals on the marketplace(more risk). For more information: Fidelity Fully Paid Lending capitalmarkets.fidelity.com/app/item/RD_13569_22178/fully-paid-lending.htmlFor more information on Fully Paid Lending, contact a Fidelity Representative. 800.481.8313 Schwab's Securities Lending Fully Paid (SLFP) program.
