I will say that it also looks like a very gradual upward trend as well since the low in Hades in November. |

I alluded to this last week and got shot down. I agree with you. I got to figure out a better way of asking questions on this board. Just block the people that shoot you down. People that shoot others down are a waste of everyone's time! I was one (among others) that "shot" that down, but I did it in a nice, politic way ("no friggin way the expiration has anything to do with the share price moving up" or words to that effect). I've thought about it more and it is indeed possible that now that they have no call protection (in the unlikely event that the stock moves way up), shorts are covering at least a portion of their position, or that some of the weaker, more cautious shorts have closed their entire position by buying the stock back. To the extent that further "protection" costs too much (relative to what they might make from here on out on the short), I suppose that is possible that short positions are being closed and large profits being booked! In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think it likely this phenomenon has had a material effect on the share price. So for all that felt the option expiry was a wind in our sails, I say I agree with you, and those that don't think that are just plain stupid!  |

Mine was really a question not really an opinion. Wanted to know what others thought! You are a class guy! |

let's look at charts. Daily. Low volume day. We want a change of trend which is higher lows and higher highs. From .49 in Nov price has a higher low and a higher high. Trading between .60 and .69 price needs to make a higher high.
The weekly looks as terrible as we feel. The only good to be found is Price has traded sideways and is beyond the downtrend lines.
All clear for any upage, buyers. Remember the reframe Afrezza, technosphere insulin, insulin you can take. |

... price needs to make a higher high. ...
Peppy, nobody here will disagree with that statement But, say, I know this is trivial, but its a little interesting to me. Someone commented not too long ago about how the end-of-day trading has changed recently. It used to be that shorters would rule and try to bring the stock down right at the end of day, and that it is just different, and kinda weird, now. This week, all four days have ended exactly on a penny: Monday .690, T .670, W .680, Today .680. Last week had 3 days: T .680, W .670 and Th .650. I know that whatever the reasoning is, it is probably insignificant. But, today was weird. Price fluctuated randomly all day. Then, at 3:30 today, it shot straight up from .66 to .680 and then just hung there til the end of day. I assume there was just a very large buy set for .680. I have never been a day-trader, but I just wonder what's going on at the end of trading days now. Any ideas? |

RetirmntPlan, you might be surprised at the number here that disagree with that statement. (Insert appropriate imoji)

Yeah, you are probably right about that, Longliner. But, I don't think that too many of the active posters here are shorters. And, I have never seen anyone here actually admit that there were one. Although, I imagine that it probably has been admitted here. Just not very common. So, I suppose I should have said "Not Many" would disagree that the price needs to go up. So, hey Longliner, are you a shorter? Is there anyone else out there that wants to fess up? Maybe we should open a new thread "Shorters Anonymous".  |

Surely, someone must have gotten a hold of the script numbers early - don't forget, the crappier they are, the more the share price seems to outperform, so you can take it from there! |

I appreciate your insight on both investing and Mannkind. I'd love to see this shoulder match that shoulder if you get my drift. PS. Baba, someone has to own LA.

The bid in the last 30 mins was very high numbers lot of support. What gets me is the AH numbers. Today 853 shares and on Tuesday 500 shares. totally dead. you can never figure our what is going to happen with MannKind.

reply: I have watch the market makers push price up .01 at end of day on small number of shares all week. Volume today very weak. 1.55 million shares real time. www.nasdaq.com/symbol/mnkd/real-time This .69 / .70 is the rsistance that needs to become support.
Afrezza, technosphere insulin. Insulin you can take. If you can get a prescription, a continuous glucose monitor and a good explanation will help you understand it. (fast acting requires insulin education too)

Can we break .70? Today's trading pattern and volume starting to feel like that two or three period around the the 3rd quarter conf call of Nov 9 or so. We can hope. |
