That is a rather egocentric perspective of the world. The picture is very nice, though. "Intrinsicbullish," now that's an odd handle for someone who would take a shot at the attitude displayed by Wade Boggs and espoused by Sports. Can you imagine what the world would be like if no one had that attitude? We might still be driving behind horses. On the other hand, makers of anti-depressants would have a field day (more so than already)! I try to see the world realistically, and most feel I'm a pessimist, which I might well be. I'm really glad that there are plenty of humans with an "egocentric" attitude, as you call it, they have made my life better. I can't imagine a world where no one had such an attitude, we'd all be a bunch of zombies, waiting and accepting our demise. (Kinda sounds comforting to me.) So, I for one, am glad Wade Boggs and Sports are around to counter balance people like you and I, intrinsicbullish, we need them, apparently.

So, I for one, am glad Wade Boggs and Sports are around to counter balance people like you and I, intrinsicbullish, we need them, apparently. I assume that you misunderstood me. I am not familiar with the people you are referring to and took that citation literally. There is nothing wrong with a positive attitude to yourself and the world in general. It works very fine for oneself. But what I personally dislike is the hypris that such a positive attitude has naturally a positive impact on the world. Not your perspective and attitude of the world, but the world itself. Most of the people on this planet live a bitter, shitty life and we are still extremely successful making this planet inhabitable for future generations. Your attitude is nothing, your action is key and even this can be futile.

No offence meant, compound. This is just what I, as an inpatient guy, adding the greed of institutional investors, would give the sales guys to show what they can do with the label change. You can chose a different period from your own experience and expectations about the market. You're not going to see any big jump in scripts that quickly, IMO. Will still be slow process convincing docs to try Afrezza... and to get better formulary placement. Funny. That's why the stock ran from $2 to 6.81, post label improvement? Funny.

That's why the stock ran from $2 to 6.81, post label improvement? Funny. I suspect the run was also about the freeing up of shares and some knowledge of the financing, which removed the near term risk of insolvency. The label alone is no magic bullet, but an important step. The STAT results will also be important in convincing docs and insurance (IMO). Unfortunately MNKD still doesn't have a huge war chest of $$$ to aggressively market the idea that a faster insulin has significant clinical benefit. Pharmas don't spend hundreds of millions in marketing for the fun of it. Lacking those resources will certainly lead to slower adoption of Afrezza than if they could do that sort of campaign. I would think that would be common sense. Glad we're headed in the right direction.

Hopefully Peppy is enjoying this day and is doing well. Regarding volume, you can always check the following link for current volume: www.nasdaq.com/symbol/mnkdWith regard to price and availability of stock to borrow today it is still listed as hard to borrow with a rate to borrow over 100% (I heard as high as 130% this morning), however, it may get easier as the close of the transaction was friday and some of those shares could potentially hit the market. Keep in mind that if (and I say if because we still don't know who or where they ultimately ended up with) they do become available they may be coordinated as they have in the past to lean on the price so if anyone was planning, no guarantees but you may get an opportunity back under $5 which I suspect would be fairly short lived. Most importantly I would not buy any shares on margin, you would be best served IMO to buy LEAPS ITM (in the money) out to 1/19 with minimal premium like the 3 strike which has a decent open interest which should help with liquidity, they last traded at $2.65 which is decent considering with roughly 15 mos. of time you're not paying too much premium and you're effectively picking up nice leverage of almost 2:1 (1000 shares would cost approx. $5430 as I write this whereas you could purchase 20 of those contracts (equivalent of 2000 shares) for close to same expenditure.) Of course with purchasing the shares there is no expiration, however, this was directed towards using this strategy compared to purchasing in a margin account. With approx. 20 min. until regular market close we are near the 9M shares traded mark. higher volume than friday but not close to last Thurs. and still trading within Thursday's range of $4.84-$5.87 I expect the borrow rate to possibly move lower tomorrow conversely the lender paid rate to drop as well, mind you not guaranteed just feels that way Well, just saw the babysitting post so there ya go, spending time with the fam is the best!!
