Tricky of them and great news for us. Nice to have that chunk taken out of the float more or less.

Other than accumulating 20 million shares, what does this mean? Is this an indication of things to come? What might those things be?
Help me understand.

Do they get a board seat with 5% now?
I can see them being activist investors here and trying to move the company towards a sale. That sentiment will drive this thing way up.

They are along for the ride and clearly accept the way the bus is being driven and by whom it is driven. EXCELLENT

Dang, I go out for a 30 minute walk and miss all the fun. But it is just beginning. Most of the major institutions will want more shares. I have been posting this message for years.

others will be following suit. This is just the beginning. BR bought the shares over a month ago so it didn't affect the SP the last few weeks. But this is why it's a big deal. It serves notice that they believe in MNKD enough to spend around $100M. The other big players are either doing the same (hence the inability of the shorts to push the SP down) or will now consider doing the same given BR reputation. I would expect further such filings soon!
