Why are you posting a link to that trash? Notice how LFD posts a negative article as soon as Mannkind has a decent rally.

@kastanes,
I'm not picking on you in particular - but I want to mention to everyone - it's not against the rules of this board to post links to negative articles, and it's not fair to call out our members who post such links. Sometimes it helps to know the crap the opposition is publishing. We all know the agenda.
What I would suggest to everyone - it's up to you whether you click on the link and read the article. But if it turns out to be FUD (surprise - it's FUD!) - just let it drop. The endless discussion of such an article gives the author far too much attention.

Thank you BD and Liane.
I greatly appreciate your contributions to this board, and the civilized manner you respond to members. I couldn't have done it the way you do. More power to you both.

But as others have suggested: If you post the text of the FUD, the FUD author doesn't benefit - but if you post the link, he gets clicks --which means more pennies in his pocket. I'd prefer not to fund FUD.

For what it's worth I generally post articles good or bad on this Board, though generally w/o comment, even where I know it's FUD sometimes. I believe that it is better to know everything that is out there effecting the stock to whatever degree it may. Also as I posted a while back with FUD pieces, it gives me an opportunity to refute the claims (generally on my own) and allows me an opportunity at an exercise I might not make often enough anymore, that reaffirms I am right about the science et al... Also better to stay close to your enemies...

Yes, he posted another article by that author, along with numerous other articles by other authors, positive and negative, off of SA. BFD. Geez. He has only created three threads 2 being articles by this author. While making posts like this I just hope that this cc will not provide more ammunition to the shorts to bring the pps further down, even though they don't need much ammunition anyway.Far form a witch hunt and took maybe 30 seconds to figure out. Was it really a bfd for me to point something out? To top it off the article was released right after finally seeing some green after weeks of pain. If my posting has offended you I do apologize but dont reem me while defending this guy. Call me out on something else.

I think we should all just relax a bit. I know that the stock price is not where any investor wants it to be, but let's not abrogate our responsibilities for being civil to each other even if we disagree with the opinions expressed. Posting a negative article without comment probably won't lead to much one way or another. The stock price will fix itself when sales gains traction which is a near inevitability at this point. Whether someone is here to genuinely interact with others or sow discord and doubt, they will reap exactly what they sow. Eris may have thrown the golden apple with mischievous glee, but her reveling in Schadenfreude didn't win her any popularity points either.

I would also like to say that anyone naming themselves Looking for Diogenes is taken about as seriously as a mongrel mutt lying in the street chewing on a dead carcass, because that is what I envision when I see anyone ascribing to that Greek philosophy. So his naming is quite apt for the drivel he is attempting to spout. Of course if he is a true follower of the philosophy, he doesn't care what I think so I will go back to enjoying my Eudaimonian lifestyle while he (or she) pursues his cynic one

"Eudaimonian lifestyle" won't find many people walking that walk on these stock message boards, patryn! But more so here, than on others.

It's not a matter of my being offended, it's about giving the benefit of the doubt as to some other poster's intentions. Even if he did have a short agenda (which I doubt), his posts are perfectly acceptable within the guidelines of this board, and we frown upon personal attacks on people due to some other member's perception of there being some sort of slant. Longs are understandably pissed off right now, and it's easy to light a fuse attached to a powderkeg. The staff's job is to diffuse those sorts of things before they ignite. Let's please leave it at that.
