Dr K effect?? :$ How is that for timing on my recent Dr K. Effect post? I posted it 5 minutes before the after hours started booming. This news feels a lot like David Kendall helped to close this deal with the FDA. Dr. K probably has been working on this for a long time while at Lilly (-; You know what I mean

SCROLL DOWN TO BOTTOM OF PAGE: 80 blocks so far today over 10,000 shares I will post after market close the blocks of 15K and more. The turnip has blood in it today. some of the largest blocks I have seen in years. Market close final
Total blocks over 10,000 shares today was 82...... a big day.
Blocks over 16,000 shares........ Perhaps the biggest buying day I have seen on big blocks. Look at the size of the blocks.
12,001 to 15,999 shares.
10,000 to 12,000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fidelity has a minimum account size 250K I believe before they will pay interest on lending shares. More shares could end up in retail hands and Fidelity will loan them out and keep the premium. Also any customer who has their shares partially or fully margined looses the right to collect interest no matter what the size of the account is. MNKD is also part of the Russell 3K, so any of the shares tied in a mutual fund, or ETF Russell index, controlled by Fidelity, Schwab (blackrock) will be lent out first before retail has the opportunity to lend their shares. This was not true in my case. I hold shares in a margin account and collect interest on MNKD but I currently do not have a margin balance, if that makes the difference. I also have a margin account but hold my MannKind shares designated as cash so they do loan them out an pay me interest. I have held a couple of other positions that shorts are stretched on and get paid to lend them out. Many stocks have a big short following and brokers make a lot of money off of them.

I am showing at fidelity that the rate is: MANNKIND CORP COM NEW BORROW RATE 16.875 %Wow, so Fidelity is only making 2% on the spread! I bet the rate paid will drop further. Too bad we can’t get a real squeeze that so many of us have dreamed about! They are currently charging 55% to borrow shares

I have been watching blocks for years. I have never seen a day of so many big HUGE green blocks being traded. Look at the 16K and up blocks.....HUGE...... for that matter blocks over 10,000 shares too...... retail buyers might be buyers of 5K to 10K shares but not much over that number.
I don't tend to watch those details much, but wouldn't one expect to see larger blocks when the share price is low... i.e. if someone or some entity wanted to invest, or divest, $X it would take more shares to do so now than it would have back last fall when price was much higher. Still interesting if the trades are a lot larger today than the past couple of days. Retail investors don't buy big blocks. They buy small amounts perhaps avg of 5,000 shares or less. I'm not really sure what average retail investors buy share wise? Look at what your might buy or one of the folks on this board? 1,000 to 10,000 shares at a time?

Pep, sorry for this basic question : What do you guess this may mean? As always, thank you for your insights. Also, anyone with an idea, what is up? If there is no news, like today, I wouldn't rule out that it is simply traders pushing the price around of this highly volatile stock in order to generate short term trading profits. I have been watching blocks for years. I have never seen a day of so many big HUGE green blocks being traded. Look at the 16K and up blocks.....HUGE...... for that matter blocks over 10,000 shares too...... retail buyers might be buyers of 5K to 10K shares but not much over that number.

Interesting to see that block trades over 10,000 shares are at 52 for the day so far.
Notice that there was a big one again at 10:14:11 for 500,000 shares.
