Means nothing

out dated inaccurate could be index or trackers and the size of the position compared to aum is the same as the change we have in our couch

Unfortunately, the net was big selling (including a lot of closed out positions) and this was all in 4Q2015, before Sanofi dumped us and we became a penny stock. The next round of disclosures is going to be brutal.

The smaller firms with like a million shares with significant positions in comparison to their Aum is telling. A lot of them closed out. Gotta look at the smaller funds not the Titans

I still hate myself for not selling. It was just such a poor decision. Things were off why not sell and wait a couple weeks into January. All of us that held hopefully learned what to do next time

Weird that some of our largest shareholders added positions when Hakan was fired... and our stock traded from 4.16 to 1.45...


We still have some time until the rest of the institutions state their positions. I believe Monday February 14th would be the 45th day of the quarter?


I guess we'll see how the rest of them fared.

Looks like Sphera Funds an Israeli based Fund Manager getting in on MNKD, small position.

Another factor to consider is that many of these funds are not actively managed but still have a reporting obligation. If you have 25 million people with self-directed IRAs or 401(k) plans that direct the plan manager to invest 10% of their retirement in MNKD, the fund is obligated to do so. Similarly, if the employees direct that a percentage of their plan be invested in certain stock indicies, and MNKD is part of such an index, then the fund manager will be obligated to do that as well.

It does not mean that professional money managers have looked at a company, decided it is a good investment, and allocated part of their proprietary funds to that investment. For huge and complex fund families, like Fidelity, it can be a combination of index matching, proprietary funds, and self-directed retirement securities, all of which shows up as "FMR" in securities filings.

All institutional money is not "smart money". It is worth learning who the actively managed healthcare investors are and tracking what they are doing; just looking at the top ten institutional holdings on Yahoo will usually get you a bunch of index funds that are just trying to match an allocation formula. If you see VCs staying in their investment after the IPO or you see the big healthcare funds loading up, that is a good sign (and vice versa).

Does anybody know when institutions will report their Holdings? I am dying to know who is still on board with MannKind
