Yes, another gut-wrenching, soul-bruising apology is owed by Baba, this time that eccentric Greek guy who, as far as I can tell, spends the entire market day howling and chasing his tail round and round the dining room table (with one cell phone glued to each ear)!
About a week ago, during one of MNKD's good days, he told me that there would be a day fairly soon when we would move over $1, prior to either FDA approval or partnership announcement. I laughed at him, and told him he was wrong, that he was such an silly optimist, that he had outlived his usefulness, that he should start hitchhiking to Siberia right there and then, and various and sundry other demeaning insults, which I merely thought were cogent observations.
But I knew I was in trouble by mid day today, gosh the stock kept climbing and climbing, but surely would not rise a dollar, but it did, then it fell back, and I breathed a deep sigh of relief, but then, it gathered itself and pushed steadily in the last two hours to do it with 3 pennies to spare!
So now, I must order up and eat another full helping of crow (actually, it's an acquired taste and the crow is beginning to grow on me). I must let the world of Mannkind know that Spiro trumps Baba on stock matters, flat out! He knows things Baba has never known, and is actually afraid to know. I now know how Inspector Javert felt - no wonder he tossed himself into the Seine.
Hail to Spiro! Stock guru extraordinaire!
(Gosh, how I hate it when optimists turn out to be right.)
