I believe it was due to this tweet by Mike Castagna (@castagna2011) last night: @_chuck956 smwill77 chuck criticize me all you want, but one day you will thank me. In the meantime thank you for your support of Afrezza. (Sorry - I don't know how to post a shot of the tweet here.) It's also on $MNKD on stock twits and in the blog section of this site. I think the Fox5 tv news I vote for neither, because the timing does not work. It spiked up just after 12 pm, after many hours of trading since last night's tweet and the Fox 5 segment. |

Wow. Still rising. Wouldn't it be cool if the stock closed on the high.

55 cents.
reminds me of camp Granada.
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing,
Guys are swimming, gals are sailing.
Playing baseball, gee that's betta,
Mudda, Fadda, kindly disregard this letter!

14 minutes ago mockingjay said: I think the Fox5 tv news
Yes, that was good. Not great, but good. We really need the TV coverage. Too bad it was only the news show on Fox5 (which I think is Atlanta), and not actually National Fox News. It would be nice if those in that other "This is going to be good!" thread succeeded in getting Laura to talk about Afrezza on Dr. Oz.

I'm not sure whether a Castagna tweet or an obscure news report could move the needle like this. Typically, it would be money related. That could mean that a big jump in scripts or some other source of income is being leaked to a few of the big dogs on Wall Street, although the volume would indicate that whatever is happening isn't a huge pivotal event, such as a deal with a BP for Epi-TS.
The problem with PPS being this low is that movement can seem exaggerated. The same people who jump for joy when you tell them 15% would yawn if you were to say seven cents.  |

It has to be one of these things:
The secret partnership deal is known to be down to google, facebook, Tesla, or Microsoft. I heard Bill Gates himself wanted to buy Mannkind and package an Afrezza inhaler with every copy of Windows.
Or shorts are covering now that the stock has unprecedentedly come down so low - this must be the huge squeeze we've all been waiting for.
Maybe the clinics that are going to push Afrezza on people are opening up with a major announcement - 1000 locations have actually been in the works but they wanted to surprise us and reveal it now! The lack of commitment to a timeline and appearance of being a sham operation was just a front to maximize the stock gains that we are now enjoying!
Also, the pipeline might be ready to burst - applications for inhalable pain drugs, marijuana, epinephrine, viagra, and migraine treatment have all been approved by the FDA, whose corruption has been exposed by a major magazine author who must be legit despite his inability to communicate coherently online.
It might be that a random person online is making an excellent Afrezza documentary that will be as big as a new Avengers movie, with everyone in the U.S. buying at least two tickets since there is too much awesomeness to take in from one viewing.
Did anyone see the recent NFL game where the Seattle crowd was silent as the Seahawks pulled out a late victory because everyone was busy reading an Afrezza ad? I heard people were going to back to request additional copies to share with all their friends and family!
There's a rumor that Sanofi is regretting what they've done and will either buy Mannkind back and market the drug as their flagship or come to settlement terms that will keep Mannkind running for at least a decade.
Whatever it is, it's going to be big news as usual!

I think the Castagna tweet is indicative of his confidence that some of the pieces are falling into place, and it may be that others are getting wind of something positive related to those pieces. Who knows, it may be tomorrow's scripts, but it also could be that some of the more important things like label changes are beginning to come to fruition. I put a lot of stock in these types of signals. Good luck to all of us - we need it. |

He caused a covering to start for sure. I wonder how far it will go. |

I vote for neither, because the timing does not work. It spiked up just after 12 pm, after many hours of trading since last night's tweet and the Fox 5 segment. The timing does not need to work perfectly. Retail could have bought this morning which started the domino and is causing shorts to cover. This is not the first time a covering has occurred from managements comments. How long does the covering go for. |

Upward move seems to be accelerating. I would expect the shorts to dump some cold water on this soon before it gets out of hand for them.

Stop with the fantasy land dreaming mnholdem. You always make more out of things then they are. The volume is nothing for a move like this given the price. This is 100% a squeeze. |

I think its interesting the rise sharply started at about 12 noon. Perhaps some info came to light in some circles at about that time. I dont know enough re script counting to know whether those in the know might get info at about that time the day before? Anyhow this rise - 22% as I speak, is clearly not noise and I would bet there is a 'real' cause, or causes. News tonight? RLS going public since they were effectively 'outed' anyhow so may feel need to manage that? Deal with SNY? Pink Unicorns have arrived en masse at MNKD with a magic wand? Or just a short squeeze after all and a crash before the close: the volume is not huge, after all? Time will tell. Its more interesting than usual anyhow, whatever it is.
