We sit at 68+ million going into this month, pps has dropped since the FDA approval announcement....how much covering if any do you think we'll see reported for the first two weeks of July? 2 hrs to post time ;-)

Be interesting to see. Welcome to a board with sanity. Better than your other hang out. You will find that folks here are friendly and thoughtful unlike Yahoo or Investors Hub.

You saw it by now, Joey, lots of new shorts, undoubtedly a few of the older ones have covered.

I merged the 2 threads on short interest - I was kind of asleep at the wheel when I created the 2nd short interest thread - up late last night packing for a trip, and up at 3AM to get to the airport.

Not so sure about the new ones....but when I say that the desperation was running rampant the last two days I meant it ;-) Do you think it was just a coincidence that the two hit pieces came out within 24hrs. of each other followed by a hedge fund manager about an hour prior to close along with the YMB stopping the posters from bumping worthwhile posts etc etc. When you have 71 MILLION shares shorted that is some serious POTENTIAL losses at stake and cause for desperate all out measures as things start to get away from you ie. patents for other indications getting granted. It is one thing to be able to spread FUD on Afrezza, but Technosphere is a whole different matter and that train is leaving the station as well. Put yourself in their shoes, I have been saying for a long time that with AL, The Institutions, Deerfield, and us the strong holders that they are in a corner and I don't know how they get out of it but when you have a tiger boxed in a corner it isn't going to be pretty when he wants to get out...today was a BIG PAW swinging at you, again JMHO

Massive shorting to scared the weaker investors out to cut losses. It makes me think that news of a partnership is right around the corner. With 71M shorted shares, there will be a huge short squeeze once the news is announced.

Joey, I think you are spot on! I'm not going to repeat everything you stated, but seriously, how does a hedge fund rec. get on CNBC? At this point, they can do what ever they want, I am not selling a share! The last 2 days have been so obvious, and trust me on this, MNKD knows how bad they are getting manipulated, but they will have the last laugh

Daduke, I'm convinced it wasn't just CNBC...I was going to post the following on YMB but screw it, let the readers come here now: When palms get greased you have malevolent events happen...SEC should investigate the individual at CNBC, and Yahoo on who made the decision to change the format of the board the last couple of days coincidentally lol...then you have the coordinated nits at SA and MF....think about it...you have 71mill at stake, if the pps goes to $25/sh that is over a 1.75 BILLION dollar loss.....wouldn't you be desperate enough to start greasing, well the greasing of the FDA only worked for so long...so this shall pass as well...but they continue to chase and try coordinated bear raids to possibly cut their losses...and like I've said in the past, if they hedged calls then those who sold them are short...doubt most have sold covered calls at this point on the brink of further binary events. It was on the verge of spiraling out of control had the complicated partnership negotiations been in place for an announcement just after the earlier than expected 7/15 approval date. I would bet that the 40mill short interest in ARNA is tied to the same thugs...only they have survived that one due to the slow sales and small licensing partner that Arena has secured to date. Biotech's for shorts are some of the easiest targets, when you have one like MNKD that was unfortunate to get pounded down to under $2/sh and the hubris of some of these hedge funds well that is not a good combination when you have a genius like Al on the other side. This has ballooned out of control for them and they are desperately trying to contain it with time running out...thus you get what you saw today. Daduke you should join me in posting about 3-4 times a day on the YMB alerting the newbies to this forum. Who knows Liane, if we get enough membership the next sleazy hedge fund may approach to grease your palms as well ...did he really just say that lol !

Glad to see you made it over sportsrancho along with daduke, I'm confident you will like the quality and content that is provided here! I have been sporadically posting on the YMB for the newer investors to come and check this forum out...our friend Mr.Colton Harden got a little irritated with it LOL!

KC, personally i would think that he also has some BIG worries as someone stated he manages 1.2 billion....at $16.90/sh @ 71 mill shares (of course this would be assuming he had the entire short position which I highly doubt and if it were not hedged) he would be wiped out...should be interesting in the not too distant future IMO

Who knows Liane, if we get enough membership the next sleazy hedge fund may approach to grease your palms as well ...did he really just say that lol ! joey, My latest theory on YMB is that they have the power to disable your posting for an undetermined period of time. The other night, I had posted once, and received an undeserved thumbs down (as is typical - "someone" routinely does that no matter what I post). But I somehow suspect I was "reported" for no reason, and then I was unable to post anything else that night. I haven't had time to try it again. I was trying to communicate with Nialla44. He says he has been unable to log on here, and that it says he's banned. He's not on the member list, but I would need his IP address to see if it's being blocked. Or maybe he's confusing this board with the "other" board.
