Well if they were really on top of it, they would have mentioned inhalable insulin. If not for all the other bias I sense everyday, it seems it was purposely left out.

This is mentioned on that web site:
"In the last 10 years, new types of insulin have come to market. Most are variations of the usual rapid-, short- or long-acting injectable insulin. One very recent newcomer is a totally different form of insulin—Afrezza inhaled human insulin. You take this type of insulin by breathing it in. It is a rapid-acting insulin. You use it at mealtime and in combination with a long-acting injectable insulin"

Still early here. My bad. Speaking of "Did you see this?" what just happened to SP? Down 12% in a flash.

It's moving up from $4.99 to $5.44 now, I think shorts are manipulating the SP again.

It feels as though no one is on our side. It sure feels that we are in this all alone.

wow. yesterday's articles and today's action have finally pushed me into the "believer" camp about all the short shenanigans. after seeing exactly the same thing happen a few times over the last couple years, I never fully bought into the idea. Even though lots of smart folks here have clearly called it what it is.
It is actually pretty amazing how coordinated and effective they seem to be in their methods. wow. just wow.
Apologies for my description of the late to the party epiphany. I also still wear clothes from 1980.
Still holding. wish I was in a spot to buy more.

"Still holding. wish I was in a spot to buy more. "
At some point, the stock has to perform, regardless of how many times we all go back to the well. I'm tired of buying more every time it dips. I just wish I had realized how reliable the swings were going to be, I would have sold and bought several times now for some huge gains.

I would be interest to know how many shares the triggering entity picks up on one of these excursions?
Just looking at the action between the dip and the return to calm, it looks like they hit it with 975-1080 K on the way down and 1450K bought on the way back up.
Does that mean that there was a net exchange of shares of about 400K to the shorts advantage?
I would assume that there is no honour amongst thieves so triggering party may have only gotten 25-50 percent of the 400. Even at 200 K at 5.50, that is over a million for a mornings work. Lots of incentive to keep paying for the hit pieces, and to keep going back to the well.

Lots of incentive to keep paying for the hit pieces, and to keep going back to the well. OOG Agreed. Without regulators this a relatively easy way of getting rich. It takes very little capital and not that many individuals to set up. The penalties are theoretically severe but in reality there are no real sanctions ever applied to this areas. The naked shorting penalties imposed recently were low enough (and especially no one went to jail) that it could be seen as part of doing business. I have a few other biotech stocks but none of them are popular with retail investors so it's almost impossible to do this kind of stuff. These manipulators can do this simply because retail investors set themselves up by using to much margins and stop loss (which should be renamed: 'crystallize loss') orders. Those that think these schemes aren't deeply imbedded in our markets are at a huge disadvantage and ignore history (all of it). I sat all of it because there has never been a time in market history when crooks were not deeply imbedded in our markets. We will always have bank robbers (physical or electronic) and market robbers simply because 'that's where the money is'. JPG PS: I'm with Joey on the 'waiting to pick up some a bit cheaper'. I had an interest in picking up some more at the low 5s but the dip was to quick for me (and I dislike the preset electronic orders).

Weirdest day of trading I've seen in the last year or so - short raid this morning and straight sideways all afternoon?
Any insight?

How did you come across that article? Via google search or did you see the link on CNN's site? BOttom line is that not many are going to read or see it. It will be up to Sanofi to do a full court press to get the party started, imho.
