I just think something is leaking and the shorts are hearing about it first. Just like they did when SNY dumped us. If the smart money really had leaked info about something that fundamentally changed the prospects, I'd think you'd see price double in a day... or more. Edit: maybe I should change that to "corrupt inside information sharing wall street money" rather than "smart money". Obviously there are a lot of smart people here that simply lack connections... and are honest. It's already almost doubled. And it might do it again. |

Price rises significantly on speculative news but nothing is really there solving the cash flow issue............I'm thinking the shorts will profit from this. Just my gut. Think I'll enter a buy order for just below a buck and see what happens. |

Even I took advantage near a buck last week. Sold my original investment yesterday and playing with house money with a 20% stop loss which can happen on any given day with MNKD lol
I said this in another thread. There are long term shorts (ones that don't care about the interest waiting for MNKD to hit zero unless there is something groundbreaking) and there are short term shorts. If you were short last week at 1 dollar with 50% interest down 50% you are going to cover. Throw in momentums traders and days traders and I think that's why the stock is moving. Dips are all being bought for the past 4-5 trading sessions.

I guess I'm not putting too much weight on regaining the ground that we lost on getting hammered for the reverse split. I think the beating down was way overblown... purely assuming that the relative plateau before the RS had some reflection of a market consensus "fair market value". So, yes I think we could easily go up more... even on no news. For the moment, the momentum trade in MNKD is LONG. Peppy can fill me in on the exact velocity of the momentum (and yes, my high school physics teacher just called to revoke my passing grade). |

If Peppy Mann drives as fast as Peppy Proboard talks, she's a guaranteed winner. 😎

Receptor Life Science stopped by my house last night for a Human Trial. I am guessing that might be the reasoning I was not making sense lol  short term long traders currently beating the short term short traders!!!! |

My crazy Aegis theory
I think Aegis was/is trying to assist in a rights offering or outright dilution. In the past, I do not think retail shares impacted the lending program, but I do think it does now. I know everyone automatically assumes the worse and that Aegis would lend all those shares. I have to wonder if Aegis got enough shares transferred into their name and started pulling them from the lending program forcing shorts to buy in and cause a shortage of short shares. This would also drive the borrowing rate up forcing other short term shorts to cover bc the short at this time does not make sense. At some point, MNKD would dilute, and maybe at this price even long term shorts would cover. I realize there is still plenty of market cap left to stay short but maybe they let it grow a bit before they start shorting again.
At some point Aegis eventually, lends shares but the main strategy is to drive up the price to get more out of dilution?

IF they are lucky they would only get shares of people that have very few shares invested and do not want to do their own DD. The biggest retail holders would never let someone else manage their stock accounts.
I just don't see how this idea could even get off the ground? And it would also mean MNKD was trying to pull a fast one which I really don't believe they were.
And we don't know for sure we are even going to need delution.

Maybe that was part of their plan. I think it was crazy on their part to think it would work. |
