If you read their ingredient label, it's just vitamins, garlic, cinnamon, etc.

My understanding is that Wilford Brimley has done an infomercial for them. I didn't bother to check that, but I heard it was pretty much out there! The person that told me about it said they saw it in the middle of the night and it just cracked her up!!
If only Nobetes was all we had to worry about! LOL! Couldn't they even come up with a catchier name?

I think the name Nobetes is pretty clever, actually. Much cleverer than Viagra or Cialis, which could have had much catchier names like Nolimpdic, Upanatem or Morluvin.

Getting back to options discussion...I was soooo tempted to purchase a 1000 call contracts at a penny for tomorrows 6 strike...idea being if our poll looking like a huge flip of the bird to the shorts (you have to have a bit of an imagination and pretend the bars are fingers lol) comes to fruition than we could possibly have a nice week ending spike which btw, would correlate to a really nice candle on the weekly charts as previously mentioned by myself and others. Instead, with not wanting to pay the ridiculous commission that would it entail, I did however do a synthetic selling 50 Aug puts 6 strike and purchasing 100 Aug calls 6 strike for net zero + comm. ...guess I like those "twofers" ...or as SNY would say "Ménage à trois" (hope I got that right BD

What happened to that realistview guy? That unfilled gap- crazy. Joey- I was going to recommend KYTH but it already exploded. I was though. Really.. FDA almost approved to melt FAT! May 13.. well double chins for now. The times we live in. Going to chipotle for lunch, Cinnabon for dessert... I lightened my MNKD 2017s. Even if scripts take off, premiums look like won't have to chase much to rebuild position. The out of money premiums are getting tempting. Whoop whoop!! Yeaahh KYTH!! Double chins no more. Little disappointed Kyth agreed to buy out- seems untapped in how could be used for body sculpting. I had a $100k the other day...

I own Kythera too and honestly I have my good gain but feeling is like being stolen. 2.1 billions for a drug that can easily reach 4-500 millions and more..... hope this will not happen here !

Congrats!! And as far as it being stolen, you'd have to turn in your "faithful long" card if you thought anything else!

During the big run up I sold January 17 calls on all my shares. Sad day, but I 1) think it will be driven back down and I can rebuy2) I see no catalyst that puts it over 12 by 1/20/17 and 3) I'll be ok with cashing out @ 13 if it does on a basis of 4. I've lost my blind faith and will attempt to squeeze profit where I can. The only ones making money are those trading it and insiders who get shares for free.

So you sold Jan 2017 $12 calls for $1 against long position? When? Why sharing now?

I definitely like (and have posted so) that inverted head and shoulders. There's also a larger IHS at the 10-year view that (if you believe the pattern will close itself) would take MNKD up into the $20's per share.

So you sold Jan 2017 $12 calls for $1 against long position? When? Why sharing now? Close to $1 yes. Set a limit order and it filled when the price peaked. I've just seen this movie too many times from 3 to 11 and 11 back to 3. The shorts have not had their last stand yet and the fundamentals won't be there to support the share price for some time. So if I can take 20k of cash now and not have to sell unless it hits 12 within 18 months, those are good odds to me. If it drops low, I'll buy the options back. On on a side note, I really like TNXP right now but I'd wait for a pullback before buying more...been on a tear lately.

thsloppy, I had some sold some Jan 2016, $8 strike covered calls, and I rolled them to Jan 2017, $12 covered calls and only cost me a nickel a share to do so.
I do agree about squeezing income out of this when you can.
Great day for biotech, a potential breakout in the indices; not so much for MannKind. Our day(s) will come!
