They currently have $1.30 price objective on the biopharmaceutical company’s stock. VETR is a site for crowd sourced stock ratings. Basically, random people on a message board. I wouldn't trust anything on VETR. But if you do, note that it still has 62.5% of people listing MNKD as a sell. www.vetr.com/research/NASDAQ:MNKD |

After witnessing all the corruption on Wall Street and elsewhere, I don't trust anyone for financial advice. I only posted it as a reference for others, they can make their own decisions.

Except people blame "FUDsters" for negatively impacting one's psyche regarding a stock. Publishing info like this, without balance (thank you mnkdfann for providing it) can be far more harmful as it can encourage people to buy when they shouldn't. There need to be checks for both the bashers and the pumpers.

Stevil,
True. But the problem with fudsters is that they rarely give you a solid rationale for their position. For example, I asked David Kliff repeatedly why he thought Afrezza would only be a niche drug but I never got an answer. Even when I asked you what your rationale was for holding onto the stock you really didn't give me much other than what I offered you as a possible reason why, i.e. that you didn't have that much invested. And I wasn't asking you to convince me to hang on as you assumed. I was looking for a solid rationale. I seek out opposing opinions but I rarely get anything of any substance, which is why I block fudsters when they offer nothing.
And PS, I block mindless pumpers as well. I am an equal opportunity blocker.

You shouldn't ever ask a short why you should be long. I'm not sure what you expected me to say? I gave you several reasons for why I am short and supported them. You told me that you didn't want to get into them with me. I don't know what else to tell you...
If the reasons for why I am still holding this stock are simply because the amount it has dwindled down to isn't worth placing elsewhere and there's still enough hope left in me that a miracle can happen aren't sufficient for you, you had unreasonable expectations for someone who has publicly stated that their sentiment is currently short. Why would I recommend anyone to buy? Sure, hold if you want to. 10,000 shares is only $6k. I have no idea how many you own, but there's not a whole lot of potential with $6k in today's market. Not yet. I'm highly considering sitting it out for a while until the market decides what it wants to do.
It really only boils down to which narrative you want to listen to. I could ask you to show me solid rationale provided by half of the pumpers on here that you probably don't have blocked and I think you'd be surprised if you went and looked. I've been watching intently and a great number of pumpers point to the science behind Afrezza, savvy Al, or pull out random internet stock ratings yet no one ever calls them out.
It would be a waste of my time for me to explain why I got into this stock in the first place. Nothing that I would tell you would be new. It's been stated here over, and over, and over, and over again. I'm just not as difficult to convince as some on here that this isn't going the way we thought it would and there should be more proof of brighter days if they were imminent. I'm also not as easily convinced that just because it's been done once before means it can and should happen again. Obviously I see SOME hope left, otherwise I would have sold. Lightning CAN strike twice in the same place. I'm just not fooled into thinking that those odds are anywhere near our favor.
If you read my posts carefully and honestly, you'd see that I'm not nearly as negative as I get blamed for. And I've never told anyone to sell their shares. I wouldn't tell anyone to do something that I wouldn't. All I have done from the time I have gone short is tried to counterbalance all the BUYers on here because it looks like nothing but foolishness to me to keep adding. But that's just my opinion. Others would disagree and their opinion may be just as valuable as mine. But to say that I haven't given reasons to support my position is disingenuous. People aren't keying in properly on what "support" is because they so blindly discard the notion before even considering it.
For example, if I was to say that I was short last week because I was fearful that SNY would have ended the partnership with MNKD, you would have stated that I had no basis or support for my sentiment. The support was that I was fearful SNY was going to end the partnership with MNKD. Clearly that support proved to become fact.
Next, if i say that I'm short because I believe bankruptcy is our most likely destination, point to how much time and money is needed yet for Afrezza to turn a profit and not keep eating away at what cash we have left, then also state that the only hope we have is additional funding either from an outside creditor or a new partner (where are all the other partners that we've been looking for for years for the other TS drugs?)... The problem wasn't that I didn't support my position, the problem was that you didn't identify my support as being valuable. And that's fine. It's your prerogative.
The reason I stick around is because there can still be valuable info here. I'm constantly weighing what I know vs what I'm learning. I try my best to keep an open mind and I always try to listen to every argument presented, regardless of whether I agree with them or not. I actually sometimes purposefully seek people out on issues that I haven't made up my mind about to see if they can convince me that I'm wrong. This is one of those times. I'm not convinced that I'm right.
