It feels like a pump and dump by Sabby to get to sell short their warrants. Just my opinion. Is Sabby connected to Leerink?

Hmm.. another post deserving strong language . . Didn´t we have an analyst like that a couple of weeks ago? "Mnkd is not bankrupt yet and might make it, so I say its might be worth 3$ per share?"
Well, I would just love to know the time frame and assumptions for this value!
And I counter with.. if Afrezza reaches 1% market penetration (full all insulin including baseline, which it is not good for), it will make 3$ eps! IMHO that kind of predictions are not worth floating around, they are utterly base- and worthless!

It’s certainly hard to refute feelings and opinions. There is a pretty good track record over the last 18 months of these similar upgrades that are then followed by dumps. It would be too early for a new round of financing, I would not be surprised if some of the warrant holders are attempting to manipulate the price upwards to get their short on. Scenario of rising pre earnings, and then a big flush (mini crash) during the conference call. It has been done before with this stock. AF even mentioning Mannkind leads me to believe there will be a huge short attack in the next few weeks. JMHO I was going to buy a few more shares tomorrow but I think I'll just hold off to see what happens in the weeks after the CC.

211k after hours volume at $1.54. Highest after hours volume seen in awhile. Hopefully this is foreshadowing good news on scripts...or something. Guess we'll find out shortly.

And I’m disturbed that traderdennis (who I respect) is casually discussing stock price manipulation as though it were just a tool of the trade instead of a stool of the trade from the tools of the trade. I assume traderdennis is just calling it like he sees it, but how sad that his observations read like hum-drum matter-of-fact way-of-the-world rather than go-to-prison crime - which it is.

Unfortunately the market isn't the same place it was 5-10 years ago where honest people invested their hard earned cash in something they believe in with the hopes of making a profit. It is now a preditory killing field where hedge funds and market manipulators release their algos and ultra-smart traders to wreak havok on tickers (not companies with life changing products) for quick financial gain or long term damage to competitors. They have no conscious and couldn't care less about what the market was originally designed to do, offering a share in a company for mutual benefit. Now short selling has become an addiction for many mindless investors and until enough of them get burned because CEOs and BODs figure out how to beat them they are screwed. There are some savy CEOs who know how to provide just enough information about their company's progress without giving away too much or in MNKD's case ruffeling the FDA to hold the shorts & MMs at bay. Until Mike becomes better at communication with the market, we will continue to have these conversations about shorting and manipulation.

And people wonder why companies are buying their stock back and the mindless media touts it as evil intent. Between what you just so eloquently said and Sarbanes-Oxley the quantity of companies that are publicly traded has dropped dramatically in the last 20 years vastly reducing the opportunity to invest in and benefit from American innovation. Equity as a form of capitalization for entrepreneurs is dying and the investment bankers must love this, and oh, wait, aren’t those the same folks that have turned predatory on a scale that boggles the mind?

Nit picking here......
Albert Einstein can help you remember the difference between your conscience and being conscious. You have something on your conscience when you feel guilty. Your conscience tells you the difference between right and wrong. You are conscious when you are awake and conscious of something when you are aware of it.

Just when I thought this stock taught me all there is, I see something new.. So the management sold us out and shorts prevent the warrant deal from happening, thus saving the longs interest!?
Assuming the warrant holder is also a short it looks a lot like shrimp in a bucket..

Stock sniper bought 15000 and he has a lot of followers (discord chat room). Leernick upgrade. Mk predicting warrants to be excercosed and being okay with it after complaining about the December capita raise hilarious. Classic pump.
