Greg
the article was not George's. Both you and Eveningoftheday are correct. I was mistaken. Sorry for that error. I'd rather be incorrect than have false information posted especially from me.

I was trying to reply to someone who asked me if I was just venting here and ended up reposting. I did sell off 85% of my position and kept the remaining 15% as a lesson to myself not to invest in a company just because I think they have a superior product. Management will make or break companies and I blame this particular team (including Mann) for sleeping on the job and my loss of capital. Most expensive education I ever got.

"I would say, though, that if George Rho turns bearish, it'll be a clear sign of capitulation, and would be a signal to look at the stock as a possible contrarian trade, having been oversold.
In the article George said that he didn't sell when the stock was at 10 and he isn't selling now that it's down. His overall tone was positive but he's clearly not enthralled with how things have gone so far.

This makes me wonder how the crooks can shake the tree even more to collect more shares... In any other company retails would be out of the game by now

In any other company retails would be out of the game by now Here is an analogy to how I see the denouement: https:,/youtu.be/4BOQI-LAEzM. At the end, Fraudstain overthrows his hedge fund masters and reveals himself to be Al's illegitimate son, who wanted to destroy Al's fortune rather than see it go to charity but now goes on to greater happiness and transparency in his next life. Hey, it's as plausible as some of the stuff we read here. |

Seems everyone else got the hell outta dodge |

Rho publishes a positive public article on Mannkind and it manages to win some fake contest that gets it stuck behind a pay to view wall.
Hmmm... SA has a way of selecting articles that people really want to read behind their pay wall. Rho must be so trilled to win that! Writing an article for no one but a few SA paying suscribers to read... Great...

Great point jpg! Coincidence maybe? Now if SA starts selecting all of Rob Sacher's articles for such awards too, we will know there's something fishy. (Rob, I am NOT implying your articles aren't award worthy on their own merit!)

Great... George will get a bonus payment for his article being selected and then will get the $10 pay per 1000 clicks, so I would thing that he _is_ thrilled. |

Great... I am not a paid subscriber but I do follow George Rho. The article appeared briefly in my SA feed but is not accessible now. Regardless what financial benefits George might get with his special status, it would be best all around if his article has more visibility. |

That was my point and I am rather certain Mr. Rho desire also. |

His article will be just as relevant in a couple of days as it is now, and in the meantime: 1. It gets huge promotion out to Pro subscribers who otherwise might never have looked at his articles, given the size of Seeking Alpha 2. He is eligible for recognition in the "Best Of" awards, again giving a larger readership and possible monetary awards 3. Pro subscribers have shown that they are willing to pay for content, and George offers his own premium newsletter. Those folks are good prospects to convert to customers if they're impressed by his work. (EDIT: I will disclose that he's not my cup of tea, but that has nothing to do with what I'm writing here. It could be about any SA author and compensation / awards / promotion provided to them.) |

The article won't be available for 30 days, not a few days.

His article is locked behind an obscure 'Pro' pay wall for 30 days and he gets a few 100 $? You know his analysis will probably be of little valuein a month right?
I really doubt he is one of those poor MF types who writes for the few $.
Many or maybe even most of the SA authors I read would not write on SA if they were stuck behind a paywall. The paywall goes against the very thing that makes SA interesting for many.
