My take is that this Aegis manager gets rated on how many new accounts he can bring into Aegis. A man with a plan trying to move up some ladder. I think Aegis knocked on Mannkind's door. "We will tell your story, and try to safe guard your......"

I've already posted this on this board but people don't seem to care or understand. Aegis is one of the majority investors in the ONLy other inhaled insulin company out there, Dance biopharm. They already have skin in this game and see the potential disruption to the insulin market. I do not believe this to be a coincidence, do you? . I thnk investing in Dance shows they are not smart What would you think if they invested in MNKD? (I know that I don't feel as smart as I used to...)

I think they would be as smart as myself. And I hope I am smart although my past trading history says otherwise . I don't like to chase rising share prices but did just now when I loaded up the boat at 1.44 a few minutes ago. I bought a bunch at 1.17 a couple of weeks ago. I've averaged up since two weeks ago but have significanly cut my average cost about 60% the past two weeks.
We are rising without news. Either news is coming and/or the news of recent (OneDrop perhaps) is spreading. My guess anyway. And of course because I chased it today, it will most likely close under what I bought it at.

It sounds like you are thinking that the price going up is an indication that good news must be around the corner. We have been here many times before. Every time this has happened the price goes back down and we never know what caused the rise. It could be as simple as people are buying just because the price is going up and in a short period of time the cycle reverses itself. There is a possibility that this time (unlike dozens of previous times) the rise is the start of something big. But it is much more likely that Mannkind raises money and tanks the price again.

I think they've been brought on board to generate some enthusiasm in MNKD, warranted or not, with the goal of keeping the stock price up until either good news has surfaced or the next round of financing is complete.

What have they done that would create enthusiasm? Seems like they've created confusion and trash.

Run up before script data - tomorrow morning. Have seen it before. I believe everyone here can predict direction of price movement on that.

But more than $1.5 million worth traded per hour seems like a lot waged on the possibility scripts will be up slightly. I mean I can't imagine who would be betting large sums when the odds of scripts increasing significantly are not great. Unless perhaps they are going to be up significantly and there is an insider leak? I don't see it. I thinks it's something else

How many times did you think "it's something else" when this happened previously, and how many times were you disappointed soon after? Been there done that.

Something combined with script data. Volume and price increase, sounds good to me.

Remember that we're only at $0.28 pre split even after this yuge run. This is a volatile stock. I could imagine that there are now momentum traders that are playing the near term upside potential of correcting an oversold condition... with the backdrop that scripts may indeed start slowly rising. Slowly rising is better than what we have had. Given that we've started some online advertising (I believe), one might conclude that we'll actually have a script trajectory head slowly up (rather than essentially flat and noisy). How high we might bounce while the facts on the ground still indicate a looming liquidity wall (slow script growth doesn't change that)... hard to know.

All speculation though. Could be that awareness is compounding which leads to the tipping point.

What have they done that would create enthusiasm? Seems like they've created confusion and trash. Boiler room operation. Smiling and dialing, doing the cold calls. Extolling the massive potential of Afrezza. Pump it up. Knowing a rising price attracts buyers.

Extolling the massive potential of Afrezza. Pump it up. Knowing a rising price attracts buyers. Where do you get that info from? The yellow cards say to call them and from what we've seen here, most people get voice mail and no return call. That is the opposite of a cold call... that is ignoring a call that they themselves solicited. And people that did get through have reported mixed messages... but none seemed to be about the "massive potential of Afrezza". Do you know something, or was that simply a guess on your part?

The "something else" could be one bullet that the CEO put up on a slide at the 1Q17 earnings call that MannKind is in the "late stage" of partner deals. The last time management was that specific was 2 months before signing with Sanofi.
