I think MNKD is pulling the entire broader market up by its bootstraps today, lol

[...] Shorts are shrewd [...] I beg to disagree. Maybe those who shorted at the local ~$8 top back in July (sell on news) were somewhat shrewd. But how to explain those who shorted or stayed short and didn't cover when it was ~$2? Shrewd is not the word I would use. Non-professional traders and shortsellers are with few exceptions dumbasses.

All I need to look at to prove shorts are stupid is the fact GMCR had a 30-35% short position throughout its entire run-up from '06 to '12. I see a large short position on something like MNKD and it just makes me drool, lol

Exactly. Shorting (stock or market) at maximum optimism is one thing. Shorting or staying short at maximum pessimism or in a sustained run is... masochistic.
That said, short coverings (if or when it happens) only provide a temporary blip. That, like various alleged MM manipulations (which I do not believe is possible for one second), are non-events in my book. Stay focused on fundamentals (or in this case, the fundamental thesis).

I love this:
MannKind Corporation (NASDAQ:MNKD) surged 9.22%, rising again seemingly on optimism that the company is targeting a large unmet need in the ever-expanding diabetes space and its main focus is on its wonder-drug: AFREZZA. Some may be hopeful that AFREZZA is going to become the dominant player in the $44B insulin market due to its unique pharmacokinetics/efficacy and convenience.
In addition, a SA contributor recently suggested investors the stock has been completely overlooked, and as a result, is severely undervalued.
Looking at an upcoming catalyst, the company is set to present at the J.P. Morgan 2014 Healthcare Conference on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 7:30 AM (PST) at Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, California.
ArthroCare Corporation (NASDAQ:ARTC) advanced 14.76% to more than 5-year high on news that the company and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) filed yesterday with the United States District Court in the Western District of Texas (the Court). The DPA is expected to resolve the ongoing investigation by the DOJ regarding allegations of securities and related fraud committed under a previous management team.

A year ago, I thought Afrezza would be approved and MNKD would sign a top tier pharma partner. What an idiot.

Geez, rak, what an optimist. It's so obvious that has not happened!

baba... if this is how you are when we are up $.50, I can hardly wait to see what will happen when mnkd is up $5 I happened to see this old post from the same thread, rak. Did you leave out the word "to" before "$5." Fun, exciting year for MNKD and our ilk. Even with the share price where it is now, we had our share of thrills and spills. Was very pleased to share the trials and tribulations with all of you on this board. Hope you're all having a great day today, with family and friends; we head out a little later for that, after a nice Xmas eve.
