Seeking alpha posted a LFD article on March 9. I'm surprised no one here mentioned it. I can't post a link from my phone but I'm sure most can find it.

This article was mentioned somewhere on this board a day or two ago. A well-timed hit piece like this can drag down the share price, which might at least partly explain the drop over the past couple of days. Perhaps this article affected SO's recent buy decision; i.e., he bet that the article will drive the price to the bottom of the range giving him more room to later sell on the high end of the range.
There's a lot of truth to the article but it is highly misleading to the uneducated MNKD investor because a reader (not knowing anything else) is led to believe that the situation is "desperate." That's just not the case. MNKD can limp along for many more months just like it's been doing for a few years now. MC obviously understands this and is apparently just going to milk the situation as long as he can. Now would be a great time for the BOD to wake up and replace MC before the situation really gets desperate. I can only hope.

LFD does not have any credibility and usually displays the utmost level of immaturity and quite often makes down right false statements and claims and tries to mislead readers.
Any serious investor even slightly considering taking what that clown has to say seriously and basing investments off of what he/she/they write, has some serious issues and should not be investing in the first place.

Haven't read it yet, but in case I do... what are the false statements I should look out for? |

That's his personal assessment. Are you claiming you know he doesn't actually have that belief? I assume you wouldn't similarly complain if an author had an article title "MNKD a great investment opportunity". That or his title, being opinions, aren't subject to fact checking. But get it... you don't like his point of view. But I'd be interested if he really has made false statements in the article as asserted by mango. If it's just the title, I'd say calling it false statement is more of a false statement than the title. The assessment of whether "drastic solutions" are needed all depend on whether one views the current state of painfully slow growth and strained finances is acceptable. As we know there are a number of shareholders calling for the drastic step of replacing CEO. BTW, I don't agree with him about "drastic solutions" (I really don't think there are any viable ones), but I can easily believe someone might hold that view. |

Please find the post where I "asserted" that, specifically about this article, and quote it here for me highlighted...I'd love to see it since you are accusing me of that. |

You said "usually" but the post is in the context of this article. So I take it you mean that this article contains nothing factually erroneous? What in the past has been? Facts that were wrong, not opinions. |

You should stop assuming so much and stop trying to twist my words to fit your narrative. You clearly have a reading comprehension problem or an assumption problem. Or perhaps both. |

Just asking what are the downright false statements. Not counting opinions or things like claiming "TreT royalties will kick in in the near future" which is distorting reality though can't be labeled an outright false statement. |
