Can't tell if this is sarcasm or legit(?), hasn't this guy reported like Oct. - Nov. - and Dec. as well? He posts on YMB a lot, here not so much... usually a sign he's into reading and writing nonsense exclusively. I choose to believe him. He and docfrezza have always seemed to post very accurate info from the trenches imo. And i for one appreciate when they choose to speak up Thank you. I will continue to post only information that is verified. |

Not an all time low - that would be $1.57 - which I also bought with that pit in my stomach. Sometimes, you just gotta close your eyes, hold your nose and jump right in. 2000 more shares unavailable for short covering. some of the shorts have been saying that 1.56/1.57 is the bottom, fwiw -- these are former shorts from what I can tell. It's funny how all of this gut wrenching manipulation will all be forgotten within a few months. I hope. I have quite a few friends and family that work on Wall Street. A few are short but I dont think they even understand what they are shorting. One buddy (works for a hedge fund) just closed out puts today and I asked if he was going long and he asked me if I was nuts. Its a gamble its bio. Dont invest more then you can lose. |

anyone care to shares how many shares they own and at what avg?
I'm only a small time investor, 1000 @ $5.84 held in Roth, but I think I've reached my limit on buying anymore...

Sorry to hear that. Job losses coming soon to them, some say.... since when did "business" mean trading equities, does not make sense to me as a small business person. Business is something way different. What he may have meant, is "don't use margin, don't screw with options" -- there are places where you can get in trouble for sure.... as for me, I am a captive investor here, but from everything that I can gather, this is a great company. If times were better, I'd send them a resume and work my butt off if hired. Seriously. |

Leave your morals and ethics at the door. Do you know at Bridgewater encourages confrontation. Challenging your co workers is looked at as a good thing? Everyone needs to learn the lesson about margin. I was margin called on a stock that ended up going back up a couple of months later. My fault as I bought more then I should. Turn margin off. FWIW Wall Street knows before retail does. I was warned that TASE was for dilution by friends on the street posted it on comments section on seeking alpha and was called a short no less. I sold some of my position that I had acquired during that time. Wish I had sold it all but my pipe dreams of buyout and short squeezes kept me from listening. Hindsight....hmmmm |

Hindsight....hmmmm I hear you... a few weeks ago I had an electronic invite for getting a Bloomberg terminal.. Thought, NO WAY I can't afford something like that. But in the long run, if you are not front running, you should not be trading. I am not trading here at all (outside of some averaging down now and then) --- Can tell you this, some very smart people on board here including both doctors and patients. The big pharma model is to patent new insulin analogs to maintain patent protection, great for profits, but not for patients. Al Mann did the opposite, choose the best insulin and ignore the short-term profits and they really hate him. Natural human insulin is a game changer. Strangely. |

Its def a great tool but just not in the cards for me financially to buy my own. I don't set out to trade but on a stock as volatile as MNKD I feel like you have to take profits or else you kill yourself with could of should have. I agree going long (very difficult) in the end will yield great results but with BIO you have to take profits on the volatile swings. |

Sometimes, you just gotta close your eyes, hold your nose and jump right in. 2000 more shares unavailable for short covering. FWIW - I think the poll MSSCIGUY posted earlier should have a nice pairing of get drunk with any action in this case - sell, hold, or buy. At this price, volatility, lack of visibility - can anyone imagine doing anything other than drinking when making a decision here? I still say Old Mann should particulize Zoloft. Certainly has created a captive market for that, too. |
