... Adding my own unsubstantiated speculation - Jason's report has more to do with Maxim trying to get on Deerfield's good side - by effecting the near term vwap - than it does with MNKD. If you are an unethical research/investment management group that isn't much concerned with your reputation on the street, you are looking to suck up to Deerfield, who can provide much more business down the line. So the executive summary is that we have no way to decide why Maxim (or any other analyst) does what they do other than that somehow it's in their best interests! Analysts as well as various "authors" that come under the guise of looking out for the little guy, always makes me laugh those articles with the generic disclaimers that indirectly are saying hey "I'm writing this to save you some grief from the kindness of my heart, really no really I am....I have no financial interest or anything better to do with my time than to tell you how bad this company and product are and you should be very careful on your investments, I care about you, really no really I do" ooookayyyy... righty oh then. I've received phone calls in the past where I was informed of an article that was going to come out the next day bashing a ticker and the "just letting you know in case you wanted to sell (short) before it hits". Those are the games played on a regular basis, how the author's benefit I'm sure is nice enough to keep them coming but it certainly isn't from the "goodness of their hearts" rather as you say regarding the analysts..."in their best interests" guise ɡīz/Submit noun an external form, appearance, or manner of presentation, typically concealing the true nature of something.

I guess any analyst could have a sentiment based on the type of position he/she may hold in a given Company. I mean, they’re in it to make money, right ?? I could see an analyst pumping, or giving a positive recommendation on a Company until the sp hits a certain target where he plans on unloading his position, at that point a sentiment change to bearish to drop the sp to a price target where he/she plan on re-entering. Wash, rinse, repeat, pump it on the way up, bash it and short it on the way down. Thoughts ?? 😎

Three reasons why most prostitutes deserve better reputations than stock analysts:
1. They don't try to deceive. What you see is what you get. 2. They work hard for their money. 3. They provide a service that has value for the client.
Just sayin'...
