I can only think of two words that pretty much sum up my response.  Insignificant irrelevance.

Note this story was by Adam Feuerstein. It's worse than irrelevant, it's deliberately misleading. It is crap. MNKD officers received stock options. The options vested which is a TAXABLE event. Federal, state and payroll taxes must be paid on this occurrence but there is no cash received with which to pay the taxes. Thus a portion of the shares must be sold immediately upon exercise to pay the government. When the smoke clears the MNKD officers are now long in the amount of about two-thirds of the options they became vested in. A positive development, not a negative one.  A vote of confidence for the Company.

Adam F**kstein has been spewing B/S about MNKD for years now. His crap used to be outright ridicule but he has been forced to change his approach as MNKD marches toward approval. He is clever, or rather his bosses are. ALL of his articles are negative. He is in the pocket of the powerful short position against MNKD. He is nothing more than a paid shill, a lackey, a lapdog of Wall Street.

If Mr. AF had an ounce of credibility to his name then it might be meaningful but you always have to consider the source.  Do yourself a favor and just ignore it.  He has absolutely zero influence on the market.   However, there are hedge funds that I'm sure pay him to write stories that are well timed to coincide with heavy shorting by the hedge funds.  To the casual observer that reads one of his hit pieces and then sees the stock plunge may be lead to believe it was the hit piece that caused folks to sell but in reality it was only the large hedge fund that was selling giving the illusion it was the hit piece that brought the stock down.  Only weak minded individuals would be mislead my his hit pieces.  I wouldn't allow him to get under your skin.  It's not worth it and he is certainly not worthy either!

I agree with all negative comments about AF; yet, one must account for him and his ilk when deciding what to do.
