The shorts are on Stocktwits. They accuse me of pumping, they accuse me of being compensated by the company. They lie like rugs, and they make sure if there’s a positive post that their post pushes the positive post down the stream so when someone looks on Stocktwits, the first four posts they see are negative. This is a common tactic. So let me get this straight, there are def “shorts” on stocktwits, and cretin said they’re are def not on here…wow..amazing not one of them would create an account and post on the “other” MNKD message board? They must just be very loyal to stocktwits Are you on Stocktwits?

Well bones, you are partly getting it right. There are a few shorts on Stocktwits, and you seem puzzled why they are not here too. It is loyalty for some of them. Some of them may have posted here at times, but if they didn’t follow the rules of the forum then they weren’t allowed to continue.
And on the other side of the coin, there are a number of pumpers on StockTwits who post incessantly and inanely. They also are probably incapable of following the rules of this forum so ST is more appropriate for them.

In my opinion social media has very little to no effect on investors choice of equity holdings. With that said the exact opposite could be said for traders of equities and there derivatives. So long or short rules or no rules investor or trader carry on. Social media is great entertainment for all of Mannkind and from time to time it may even divulge an overlooked or otherwise obscure piece of information. So enjoy the ride and Lets Go!

Well, I think social media has changed so many things and most definitely has an affect on investors. I would say that Roaring Kitty sure knows that. In any case, here are just a few things on the internet about this subject… “Yes, social media can significantly impact stock investors and the stock market. Social media can create a community where investors can champion certain stocks, which can lead to market movements. However, social media can also lead to risks for investors, such as: * Herding
Social media can make it easy for influencers to share their opinions, which can lead to other investors blindly following that advice without doing their own research.
* Distorted perception
Investors may only see what their network is talking about or promoting, or what news is trending.
* Information asymmetry
Social media can present challenges like false data, emotional bias, and information not reaching the right audience. This can diminish rationality and distort valuations.”
“Some examples of how social media has impacted the stock market include: * Meme stocks
Retail investors, especially the "Robinhood generation", have been influential in driving the popularity of meme stocks.
* Elon Musk's Twitter takeover
When Twitter allowed all users to pay for a blue check mark, thousands of accounts were created impersonating celebrities, politicians, and brands. One fake account tweeted that Eli Lilly and Co. was making insulin free, which caused the company's share price to drop 4% the next morning.”
“Stock prices can be influenced by social media debates, particularly those that have a significant following. Social media trends may encourage individual investors to take collective action, which could lead to higher volatility and more erratic market fluctuations.”
“Social Media's Influence on Market Dynamics”
“This collective action has the power to trigger short squeezes, compelling short sellers to purchase shares to cover their positions, further inflating stock prices. However, the influence of social media on market dynamics is not without its risks.May 1, 2024”

This is why a buy and hold strategy is good. On Stocktwits if you push bullish/Green when you post something, it helps the sentiment.. when people check out other people stocks. They check out StockTwits and read probably the first four posts or they look at the sentiment on the top of the page. If the shorts are pushing bearish/red it turns the sentiment red. You can easily check out the sentiment of a stock. The sentiment can affect a stock price, that’s because traders are going to invest on momentum. For the long haul a good story helps, but basically it’s revenue that’s gonna move the needle.
It’s hard for me to read StockTwits anymore because there’s Long’s taking pictures of shorts and calling them out …there are shorts, taking pictures of the longs posts and spamming the board. Pats on there bashing cretin.. now who cares! It’s just pointless. Stop drawing attention to the things that bother you and post relevant information is my thought🤗 that will be the best thing for new people checking out the company. I will try and follow my own advice:-))

I almost posted about cretin’s unprovable assertion shorts don’t post on ProBoards. I’m glad I didn’t. People can judge for themselves whether the sentiments expressed by a poster are more appropriate to a long or short position if it matters to them. It used to matter to me and I was defensive as a buy-and-hold long. Thankfully the company has been managed to a point of reasonable stability on the verge of debt free and nicely profitable. That makes it much easier to ignore the negative nonsense even if it still sometimes annoys me as disingenuous at best.

This is a common tactic. The only thing I ever use ST for anymore is when I see a sudden PPS move, up or down, and can't immediately find news, I go search the company on ST to see if anyone has posted anything actually informative about what's going on. Occasionally someone actually does, but not usually lol.

StockTwits is 20 minutes behind.

That makes it much easier to ignore the negative nonsense even if it still sometimes annoys me as disingenuous at best. And of course you believe you are an arbiter of what is appropriate for other people... an assumption that people would always want to "talk their book"... i.e. they have to pump or trash consistently with their position long/short, and consistently with the assumption that their posts matter at all? Many here are NOT trying to influence the stock price one way or the other. Many here do not believe posts here have the slightest ability to influence stock price. I've certainly seen these wild notions of being able to judge peoples' intent here on proboards be horribly wrong. There are people here I 100% know are and have always been LONG MNKD accused of being short... with me being one of them. It also fails to recognize that some long term shareholders in MNKD, while still hoping their investment will be recouped, are upset with certain things that have happened, and perhaps even upset with current management. Thinking that such a person would simply give up on the investment and sell if they were truly long, actually reveals that you know little about human/investor psychology, despite what you may think you can remotely discern about peoples' beliefs and motivations.

They must just be very loyal to stocktwits cretin said shorts are "def" not on here? Somehow I doubt that. You think that "shorts" using psychological manipulation to undermine MNKD is a problem here? That's what is being promoted. I think the paranoia and personal attacks on people is the problem. Over the years I've seen people bullied away from participating here... and obviously a short trader or someone paid by hedge funds to do it wouldn't be bullied away. I've known long term MNKD investors go away because of that. Whether it's true paranoia or simply stifling views that one doesn't like through bullying, it's been a detriment. If there are any "shorts" here, I certainly don't think they've done anything detrimental or inconsistent with rules of the board. Bones... probards is not stocktwits! Not to be disrespectful, but basically no one knows about this board... other than us long term MNKD investors who are getting older and apparently have too much time on our hands, lol. If Hello Kitty decides to pump MNKD, I'm pretty sure he won't be coming here to do it... and if he or his short doppelganger wanted to push a stock down, they aren't going to be doing it here. This isn't an "other" version of stocktwits, or reddit... not even close. Wishfully, one of the differences would be that we have civil discussions free of accusations and attacks. If there are any of our regular posters over the past 5 years that are really shorts, maybe us longs should take a more compassionate stance and offer to send them food baskets, because they've lost a lot of money.
