Shorting from $1 downward is simply greed !!!! Greed or not, why would the short community leave what it perceives to be an easy $400 million (the market cap of MNKD) on the table unless and until news changes and the price trend starts reversing in earnest? Even today, $400 million is not chump change. |

Even today, $400 million is not chump change. I agree With 450 million shares outstanding (outside of google buying MNKD which wouldnt be kept secret from smart money) nothing would cause a squeeze that scares them enough to cover. If it were 40 million shares its a different sotry. |

Shorting from $1 downward is simply greed !!!! Any investing is about making money (greed), short or long. Price of stock is irrelevant. If you short $1000 of shares, you make the same amount of money if it drops 90% from $1 just like if it drops 90% from $100. |

Unless these shares are manufactured out of thin air.......... |

Unless these shares are manufactured out of thin air.......... When shares are borrowed and shorted that does in effect create larger share pool out of thin air. As long as there are purchasers who will then put their newly bought shares for loan, and shorters wanting to short more... the cycle isn't bound by any limit. But given that the number of shares shorted has not gone up by a factor of 10x since we were trading at $10... the dollar value of the short bet now is indeed considerably lower. If the dollar value of the short bet were the same, that would require having the number of shares shorted be many times the number of issued shares... theoretically possible, but highly improbable as there has to be matching buyers. |

Short Interest as of Feb 12 up to 130,253,946. An INCREASE of more than 5,800,000!!!!!
Days to cover are 30.66 BUT that is assuming that the GENUINE Daily Volume is 4.2 million shares which is an absolute joke.
Far fewer than one million shares are really traded by folks other than the participating manipulative Wall Street crooks.

Thanks sla4235. I remember that time so well, the ridiculously high short interest, the giddiness over the expected impending short squeeze, the optimism of scripts starting to ramp up. They say hindsight is 20/20, but the events since then don't fully add up, even with the benefit of hindsight. I hope we one day look back on this time with the exact opposite of the above. And i'm using the word "hope" intentionally, really wish i could use the word "expect" instead. Don't know what to expect, and this 130M short interest surprises me.
