We are in a cage match with the shorts and the spinners, we need to prevail! Remain positive, and disregard the share price for now. Shorts are better than longs when it comes to these times, they continue to hammer away, and actually seem to redouble their efforts during rallies. A few mediocre days and longs tend to get down, feeling like someone has kicked sand in their face. That's because longs are more emotionally invested, and don't want to be spurned ("OMG, not another loser"). Also, most longs have been invested in MNKD for years, adds to the bond with the company and its success/failure being tied to your success/failure.
Spiro, have you found out who will be our reps at AdCom yet? Are you afraid of the answer, LOL! I have to admit I'm a bit apprehensive of having a combatant, lecturing Al Mann in there.

Babaoriley, I have come to the conclusion that you have the most severe case of investor fatigue on this board. i am quite relaxed now after drinking my early morning Ouzo and then my late morning Ouzo. As for the AdCom, the evidence is so overwhelming in Afrezza's favor, the average high school debate team could get a win on this one.

Well, today's action should help out everyone's investor fatigue. BTW this is just the first small wave of a lot more to come. Kathleen's first tsunamis wave will not come until after the adcom meeting. So, do you think the shorts are feeling a little squeezed today? Where are they going to get shares to sell to stop this rally. this sure looks like a perfect storm is developing now. If we hold on to this gain, shorts will have to feed the squeeze at close today and make huge deposits or transfers.

The first thing I thought of when I saw today's early action was, "is this Spiro's days to cover squeeze?"

The only thing that I am 100 % certain with is that MNKD will be be going to the AdCom with an overwhelming amount of evidence and FACTS to support approval. I am confident that they will be well prepared and present an outstanding case to support FDA approval. I believe that MNKD's executive team will be the vicinity, but not presenting. The presentation will be done by MNKD scientists and others. I need to find out if I should double my heart medication or maybe just check into the ER that day.

I have a corollary to the short squeeze theory. The monthly options expiration is on Friday, which means a lot of contracts will expire in the money and a lot of shares will need to be delivered. In the past I have looked for a spike in the share price during the following week, but instead it seems to come on the Wednesday before OpEx, which is the last day to buy shares with a settlement date before next week when those share will have to be delivered/sold.
There really is no news today, although it is possible that some large ATM sales or Deerfield transaction has been keeping the price in the $5.70 range for the last few days.
