I have owned Mannkind stock and followed the company since 2007. I have ridden the Mannkind roller coaster down into the depths of despair when the first Complete Response Letter was received and then a second and then up we went when there was a near unanimous Adcom vote. Up and down I have gone. Thinking I was a genius one day and slapping my forehead saying stupid, stupid, stupid the next. Owning Mannkind stock has been exhausting. O how I would love to see Afrezza sales take off and Technosphere become a standard drug delivery platform. And the Longs win once and for all. This is not just about making money to me anymore. Its a mission to defeat the forces of darkness and have light prevail. |

Watch the cost of borrowing stock. If it does not drop significantly this may be a short squeeze (which I think it is) but the price may fall back afterwards like with that squeeze early last June. The assumption has to be that the bulk of the loans are either tracker funds who cannot sell, or other long term investors. Both groups are making a tidy sum on the loans and have no incentive to stop as they are not selling. An indication of the shorting trend is if the interest rate drops as demand for stock to short falls away. Look at the rate over the space of a couple of weeks and that should be a good indication.

Hi Lynn, Spiro has also become very spiritual, he prays every night for the shorts to go straight to hell and stay there. The Miami Heat are doing very well at the moment against Lebron James and gang, but it's still in the 3rd quarter and they are only winning by 29 points. that might not be enough. OK, it was also hot in Miami today. Spiro here, cautiously optimistic, damn that Babaoriley, Spiro should be off the charts optimistic. Spiro, you should thank me for saving you from a well-earned trip to Siberia; I explained to your better half that although you ought to be teleported straight to Irkutz, it would be hard for her to replace your charm and wit around the house ... with just a pet or two. I strategically didn't mention Match.com to her. Congrats to the Heat and the Canes! Just got back from Staples where my Kings held off the Bruins! Lynn, spiritual? Gimme a break. She was just worshiping at the Church of the Eternal Margarita in Cancun. How come Dolly or Coco didn't tell her about MNKD kicking butt last week -they were too busy counting their profits, eh? I think those two are up to something. I had the best time watching those two beautiful nursettes trying to lasso an Uber driver - a good choice after all the Tequila they downed at lunch with MannMade and me. Dressed the way they were, they could have gotten about any guy on the road to drive them home for free, but instead, they waited for one of the thirty or so Uber drivers that were trying to navigate the one way streets of downtown LA. Took them about 45 minutes, even though the drivers were only blocks away! Then they end up sharing a ride with a chick who tried to pick up Dolly in Elysian Park. Apparently, green shards of jealousy were flying from Coco's eyes when she thought Dolly was going to take the chick up on her offer. Anyway, that's what I heard, I wasn't anywhere near there. A couple of days later, Dolly was sighted panhandling her daughters' Girl Scout Cookies (and who knows what else) outside the building where I work in downtown LA; but I got security after her and her kids. Very nasty, those children - they were yelling that I had lost the family's nest egg and ruined their future; I countered by asking if their mother knew that Girl Scout uniforms could be washed and ironed. Yes, it was as if a Republican debate had broken out! I made her kids cry, so I got the best of that encounter!! And, Dolly, tell that flim-flam lawyer of yours that I tore up that restraining order! Really, I haven't had a drink since dinner, five hours ago! |

But, be careful, "Its a mission to defeat the forces of darkness and have light prevail" - sounds very biblical and most certainly very Tolkien, but just remember how long those battles raged... |

One inhaler to rule them all? This is truly a great post. Being that I have watched the Lord Of The Rings movies about a gazillion times. |

My 2.5+ = 17.5 years. |

Ha! Like a fox. |

Not meaning to sound inkind, but wouldn't it be more appropriate pray "every night for the [Mannkind management] to go straight to hell and stay there"? I mean, overall, it looks like management got the company in its current "pickle"! If it weren't for them, shorts wouldn't have anything to work with. |
