Why not send it over to the reddit crowd and let them do with it what they may. I'll grab some popcorn and watch.

Why not send it over to the reddit crowd and let them do with it what they may. I'll grab some popcorn and watch. One of my sons had a GME stake and we discussed this. There are actually some pretty savvy traders on the Reddit WSB board, and their understanding of options is way more sophisticated than that of many. I used to get annoyed years ago when my sons spent hours on end playing World of Warcraft, but I soon realized that they learned valuable skills there- for understanding people, tactics and risk. Many In the Reddit crowd have even studied economic game theory as it influences individual behavior. They see the power of cooperation. So regarding the inclusion of MNKD on their list- my son invested some of his GME gains in MNKD- he added to a stake he already had. He opines that MNKD has little chance of gaining attention from that crowd because of many factors- not the least of which is the number of shares shorted. While there is a profit motivation to the Reddit Army plays, there also seems to be a social dimension. I think the message is being received on Wall Street: “Beware of piling on short positions without considering the social consequences of your actions.” Protecting the environment is a social factor as is fighting back against greedy uncaring market abuse. BBBY and GME also send a signal that folks don’t want to live in a retail shopping world dominated by Amazon and on-line retailers, nor be consigned forever to watch movies on Netflix. They see value in heading over to the cinema with friends. Note also that local small business owners lost heavily when malls failed. So there is social good in finding and rebuilding a world that is not dominated by just a few privileged self/absorbed billionaires. This is a David and Goliath story that has clear socially driven underpinnings, including a sense of nihilistic anger at the world being handed to them by a generation or two ahead of them who dropped the f*cking ball when it came to caring about social good. |

I think 20million shares shorted with an upside value of $40-100M, and the opportunity to improve the lives of millions of diabetics is a strong enough story for the reddit crowd. There's nothing, literally nothing more socially directed than truly improving quality of life for you fellow man. Have at it reddit folks. Have fun leaving the shorts naked in the tide. |

There's nothing, literally nothing more socially directed than truly improving quality of life for you fellow man. Have at it reddit folks. Have fun leaving the shorts naked in the tide. Erik-C here. I've been a lurker on this board since I first picked up a position in MNKD in 2014. I have seen a few posts concerning MNKD on the Wallstreetbets forum, however they mostly pertain to Shkreli's manipulation of the stock and subsequent short position around the time Afrezza was trying to get approved. There are reasons why I don't think reddit in general is interested in the stock and why I wouldn't want them to be anyway. Here is why. I feel like the vast majority of investors here not only want to see an appreciation of share price for personal gain, but also want to see MNKD to succeed in helping millions of diabetics improve their quality of life. If reddit got a hold of this stock and pumped it up to $40 a share I imagine the board would take the opportunity to dilute. I think we are passed the point where MNKD conceivably goes bankrupt, and that is reflected in the much lower short%. When UTHR partnership royalties start to come in, this companies balance sheet will start looking much more appealing to investors. Afrezza is doubtful to ever be the blockbuster drug we hoped it would be, and our core business has transitioned to one best served by harnessing Technosphere and partnering with other companies. At one point in time MNKD would have been a target for todays raids on high short interest stocks, however, the move wouldn't have had as much force as the move in Gamestop. Because of extreme naked shorting, sky high borrow rates, and a series of gamma squeezes(not to mention mainstream media attention) This stock has gone parabolic. Perhaps most importantly, the hubris of these hedge funds to believe that just doubling down was going to fix the problem (it's always worked for them before). The GME situation truly was a black swan event with the amount of influences coming together to make it happen. I do agree I would like more attention on the stock, but I believe that MNKD will end up growing organically through partnerships, royalties, and expanding Technosphere into new markets. I'm averaging in a good portion of Melvin Capitals money I took into MNKD shares over the next year. Good luck to all (longs only). |

All you need to do is show some Martin Shkreli tweets about how he wanted to bury MNKD - I don't think there is a better story line in the entire world.

Erik-C, as a long term holder I agree with you conceptually, but I would have no problem with a run to $40 and the company diluting at $40. Just think of the pipeline products we could advance with a pile of money.
Bring on $40. And I hope Martin S. will be watching it run.

markado This was my tweet to him yesterday... You're the best harryx1. One thing can be said about MNKD longs, we're doing everything in our power to help this company succeed. Maybe there's hope this will be picked up, yet! |

Maybe there's hope this will be picked up, yet! Can we get some re-tweets of Harry's tweet? That's what gets people's attention, right? Thx to any and all who help out with this. |

Reddit crowd doesn't do hashtags. You need to get someone that speaks their language, which is mostly about emojis, stonks, diamond hands, getting tendies and "your wife's boyfriend" (sticking with things that meet this boards decency requirements). I'm still decoding all of it. If only I could find the Rosetta stone of WSB  As long as people here dreamed of short squeeze, I do give the WSB crowd credit for being very sophisticated in causing a squeeze with limited resources by using laddered OTM options. That might have been viable here when short interest was really high if pumping posts had been combined with WSB's gamma squeeze strategy. |
