Wow, from $4.20 to $5.10, with a close at high for the day. I actually caught the falling knife by tyne handle today and picked up 30 contracts of the Jan 2015, $5 calls for $1,70. So does the runup continue tomorrow?

It would seem someone was primed to buy today after the Concall. I can only speculate that someone is betting that good news will come soon.

"With MNKD, ya never know!" Could not have said it better, rtccpa! I can't believe that I'm too different from most of those who post or read here in this regard: too much of my attitude/demeanor/well-being/outlook on life, etc., etc., is tied to the price of a very few of my stocks, with MNKD being one of the two main events. I was sour and dour this morning when I saw us getting hit AGAIN. I was disgusted and disappointed and was not looking forward to living with myself the rest of the day, then I saw the reversal, no need to finish the thought!

Sadly, today we saw a reversal of the reversal. Down from 5.10 to 4.67. Wall Street is really playing violent hardball with Mannkind's PPS. It is very discouraging but I'm holding on tight until at least a couple of months after the FDA decision next April.
Spiro, I also hold Jan 2015 $5 calls. I'm no expert, but I would be very frightened to hold any calls that expire before the FDA decision date. The corrupt SOB's on Wall Street seem to have the power to almost totally control PPS. I even believe that WS will be able to mute the positive PPS impact of a favorable decision for a short time.
For a while they played with the PPS between about 5.50 and 6.20. Now they have stepped that down a level and are manipulating between just over 5 and all the way down to the low 4's.
I hope to high heaven they don't step it down again to below 4. We may see that though.

alethea,
I am not sure I buy tne manipulation theory. There is a lot of trading going on with MNKD every day. Both longs and shorts could be making money trading MNKD. I am sure both longs and some shorts have been hit with margin calls and stop losses the last 2 days. Weak hands will also give up and move on. I am not a trader, I am continuing to accumulate with most every big dip in MNKd's share price. I have probably spent several hundred hours reading every article out there about Afrezza. I have been convinced by my research, that Afrezza / Technosphere will become a mega drug in sales. It amazes me that the failure of Exubera continues to be one of the strongest arguments against Afrezza's potential success. I wonder if Pfizer had a survey showing that 86% of physicians surveyed would prescribe the scuba tank sized Exubera inhaler? I only invest what I can afford to lose. I also try to stay focused on the end game. If I am wrong, I will just call myself stupid, and move on. OK, maybe I will cry myself to sleep for a couple of month's.
Good luck to all longs,
Spiro
