I agree. Very good news. IMHO, this shows that the real market is starting to notice Mnkd again. I know a big part of what Mike Castagna has been doing over the last year is meeting with analysts and institutional investors to build awareness. I think it is working. |

Thats a big part of what we need, shareholder value. We got really lucky with Mike coming over to make a difference. Really lucky! |

My God just think where we "wouldn't" be if Matt and Hackem was still at the helm. |

I would say the timing of this is excellent... A bit of unexpected good news to go along with the upcoming ADA Stat/Hypo presentations, expectation of another term sheet (or two possibly China and Mexico), potential partnership announcement for TrepT, possible one drop direct script partnership announcement,
Insurance seems to be slowly getting better.
Then there are the anecdotal reports that more pcp’s and endos are starting to ask about Aftezza.
And let’s not forget the possible momentum coming from the push by cgm makers for TIR as new SOC, more consistent publications by Dr. K, his relationships including with the head of US HHS Dept (former head of Lilly,) the scientific advisory board, and the new ADA conversation on SOC.
The only clouds hanging over mnkd are possible near term dilution and scripts (which are climbing lately if ever so slowly) but at least a consistent growth in weekly revenue.
And then there is the apparent increase in institutional buying.
While all of the above is speculative at the moment, none of it is without possibility from what we know. It should be a very eventful 6 months....
The shorts must be seeing all of this.... GLTAL’s

I know a big part of what Mike Castagna has been doing over the last year is meeting with analysts and institutional investors to build awareness. I think it is working. Not really. I think being added back is good news insomuch as it forces some funds to buy (if only in a small way). But the Russell 3000 is an objective index. Presumably, Mannkind was dropped when it was ineligible (I don't recall why, maybe to do with share price pre-RS). Now it is being added back as it is eligible again, not because the market suddenly likes it or is noticing it except as a name on a list with 2999 other companies. "The Russell 3000 Index is a market-capitalization-weighted equity index maintained by the FTSE Russell that provides exposure to the entire U.S. stock market. The index tracks the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S.-traded stocks which represent about 98% of all U.S incorporated equity securities. ... Stocks in the Russell 3000 index is reconstituted once a year on the last Friday in June. At this time, all eligible securities are ranked by their current market capitalization."

Perhaps DF dumped the shares they just got on the markert too early. If they had just held them through the endo of the month they might have made a little more cash.

Does anyone have an offhand estimate of approximately what the threshold market cap might be? Is there any incentive for shorts to drive the PPS down so that MNKD's market cap is not in the top 3000 at the time the Russell 3000 is reconstituted?
