Here's where we can comment specifically on the CC.
I love the way Matt keeps mentioning shorts. Communicates to shareholders that they are brainstorming on this.
There seem to be more gory details being given out, exactly what many shareholders have been clammering for.

Hmmmm... Matt appealing to shareholders to not allow their shares to be lent out. Perhaps the percentage of retail accounts responsible for the availability of shares to short is higher than we've been speculating it is...

I have never heard short shares discussed like this on a conference call

Matt takes investors seriously, addressing email suggestions. Explanation: The FDA does not allow.

Yesh, peppy, I think Matt got a message across to shareholders today that was sorely, drastically, life-threateningly needed. And, it seems to me, heralded in a new era of information dissemination. It's as if they'd been unshackled...

Hakan: look for ramp in sales late Sept through year end.
Matt: Hakan, SHUT UP!
Me: does Hakan have to talk? He can't get a sentence out

Matt confirms what I have been saying for months. Print and TV ads are not where it's at. It's online due to the vast majority of people who use the internet to search for info.
As for longs lending their shares out to short. I say go for it. At least you'll make some money on the stock. Maybe if the company had its act together, shareholders wouldn't have to lend out their shares in the first place.

Wel-l-l-l.... still have noticeable "shackles" on in what detail they can discuss a lot of SNY activity re marketing and other stuff. But yeah, nice to hear about dealing with shorts. Some days I think Matt must dread going to his In-box for emails lol

Since there's not much action in the Shout Box, here's where we can comment specifically on the CC. I love the way Matt keeps mentioning shorts. Communicates to shareholders that they are brainstorming on this. There seem to be more gory details being given out, exactly what many shareholders have been clammering for. It sounded like Matt made plea to retails to not lend out shares during this critical conversion period. Should we all call back? It's what I interpreted |

No position in MNKD just just following the saga. From what I understand from the comments of this board Matt asked Shareholders to not lend out their shares to shorts. Folks' very fundamentally there is one reason to buy stock and one reason to short a stock. You buy because you expect the stock to increase in price, you short a stock because you expect the stock price to decline. Matt is blaming poor PPS on Shorts, what a bunch of baloney! If Matt wants to increase PPS and decrease the short holdings how about pressuring SNY to do some real marketing, get the pricing competitive, get some insurance companies on board.... Matt should be ashamed of this cop-out and take ownership for the reasons of poor stock performance, there's a good reason why you've never heard shorts addressed in a conference call before, most presenters take accountability instead of blaming others.
