Too bad we can’t change our nom de plume. Yours could change to mnkdffann (Mannkind former fan). Why agitate? You can’t be serious. It’s obvious isn’t it? Like many here, I have a bad attitude. In this particular case my bad attitude has to do with comments from the peanut gallery. aged’s posts get a discount for the same reason although aged writes very good posts from time to time. mnkfann has written good posts too I think. I was mostly teasing about selling and still posting. If I sell, it is unlikely you will ever see another post from me. But that’s me. aged has said he owned, sold, and may buy in again. mnkdfann may be the same and whether they do or they don’t it’s all good. I just couldn’t resist being a smart-ass. (Liane, feel free to delete my SA [smart-ass not Seeking Alpha] posts. I’ll understand.)

Perhaps the increase in analyst coverage/price targets is at least partly responsible for the rise. MC not long ago did say he would be knocking their on doors. I think it must be Kuka:-) Might be. ST now lists over 35,000 “watching”.

brotherm1 and/or sports, is the 35,000+ watching a sudden rise in interest?

brotherm1 and/or sports, is the 35,000+ watching a sudden rise in interest? Yes, SENS people coming over..and technical traders. That’s all I have proof of but I’m sure there are many more for other good reasons. Before some of the SENS people kind of rolled their eyes at us. I would try and tell them about Afrezza.... now they are telling us.

brotherm1 and/or sports, is the 35,000+ watching a sudden rise in interest? I don’t know how much it’s risen recently. I just started tracking 1/17/20 when there were 35,020 and today - 9 days later - 35,176. I think another good thing for the stock is Spencer Osborne no longer writing about MNKD on Seeking Alpha. He wrote intelligent articles but they did the opposite of attracting positive stock sentiment which is a big factor in attracting investors. His articles could be accessed directly from the NASDAQ website where many go to initially research a stock. He also apparently had a lot of subscribers interested in trading (not long term investing). Perhaps they moved on to something else. MNKD stock is mostly owned by retail investors/traders. Positive “representation” of a stock on the few places people go to find information is certainly significant in my mind. I won’t criticize MNKD pumpers on Stock Twits. Though on this board I like discussions about “reality” and different sincere perspectives (especially by those who really know their ####).

Annual MNKD returns since Afrezza hit the market Dec 31, 2013 close $26.00 Dec 31, 2014 close $28.20 ( up 8.4%) Dec 31 2015 close $7.25 ( down 74.3%) Dec 30 2016 close $3.18 ( down 56.14%) Dec 29 2017 close $2.32 ( down 27%) Dec 31 2018 close $1.06 ( down 54.3%) Dec 31 2019 close.$1.29 ( up 21.7%) Year to date 2020 at $1.76 ( up 34.6%) All time low was $0.67 in 2017 wasn't it? Unless some big misstep or mishap, I would assume we will not revisit that level.

Unless some big misstep or mishap, I would assume we will not revisit that level. I don't remember Mnkd holding a 50 day high for more than a day or so in the past. Its been on an uptrend since Jan 3rd and holding at about 1.70-1.80ish for the last four days. I don't know why this trend is happening (I'm guessing better press coverage), but hope it continues!

All time low was $0.67 in 2017 wasn't it? Unless some big misstep or mishap, I would assume we will not revisit that level. ————— On May 1, 2017, MNKD touched an intra-day low of $0.67. It closed that day at $0.80 that day. Yes, that has stayed over two and a half years as the all-time low. The point of my post is that I think enough time has passed that we can start asking ourselves if a true capitulation bottom has been put in and we can grind higher from this multi-year base. Grinding higher might be a plausible scenario, though I'd attach two caveats. First, MNKD is in the bucket of stocks that would be considered a "risk on" trade. If there were a huge swing in overall market sentiment to risk aversion then MNKD could get slammed (as well as other similar exogenous events). Second would be the issue of dilution and potential need to authorize more shares. Whether it is received well or poorly isn't something that can be easily predicted.

KTIM, Totally agree that this will be viewed as a “Risk On” speculation. The only way for that to change will be if the broader market goes soft while MNKD actually starts producing revenues that change it to a “free cash flow” investment. Yes, it could happen and the ingredients are there for that to eventually happen......but its clearly not imminent by any measure.

It certainly has not stayed above the 50 and 200 day average for very long the past three years. Though looking at the chart, it appears to have it’s strongest start in at least the past three years
