Why dont short sellers pick Apple?
As longs hope a company will take off and make money, short sellers hope a company is over priced and short it.
I was buying MNKD on fda approval on more than $3b market cap , while smart shorts saw that $3b is not warranted for MNKD as they weren't expecting Afrezza to ramp up so much to support that market cap. Look at now. My initial $ is almost down more than 90%.
So how is their fault they are smart and were realistic and I was speculating and losing $?.
If really Afrezza sales took off and sold $500 mil in the launch year, would any one dare short it? or even show week over week ramp?

spend your energy and $ elsewhere. Market is more intelligent and correct then LFD or seeking alpha or GS.

CVS bought Caremark to step in as a PBM and now bought Aetna to step into insurance. So now its one stop shop with pharmacies, minute clinics and claims to save patients $ and plan sponsors $ , but infact will do the opposite .

the only difference among all of them is how much they made from MNKD. Enough said.
Everything else is a waste of time.
I understand the passion - but buying a few 100 shares of MNKD doesnt imply the passion. They are in it for the $ too.

I guess we now know why short interest increased by ~6 million shares in September. As soon as DF converts, they loan them out. No friends to LT shareholders in the near term, but they have and are providing the structural funds and financing adjustments for long term success. I'll be happy when they're out of the debt holder drivers seat. DF typically shorts before conversion to lock in a price and uses the shares as a cover. Retail has purchased those short shares and are available to reshort. Another 3 percent dilution 96 million shares in Q1 2017 ( rounding to 100 million to be easy on the eyes. This is when split occurred ) and now close to 160 Million ( 153 + this dilution ). so essentially 60% more outstanding shares. by the time all said done including employee stock options , if this ends up at 200 million

On StockTwits, UTHR has 892 "Watchers." MNKD has 33,238! I assume that one of the reasons the latter figure is so high is that many of the bashers have multiple screen names. lots of retail that hoped to become rich lots of retail that got burnt and left lots of retail that got burnt and now bashing lots of retails that fall into bashing conspiracy on a 300 million market cap company that runs like a family living on month to month paycheck lots of retail thats bagholding lots of retail that get sucked in every pump and fall into the above 4 groups lots of retail that keep buying a few shares here and there
and thats why.
UTHR is trading @ $120. Most retails and most here as well dont have the concept of Market cap and think UTHR is costly and instead of buying 1 share of UTHR but can buy 100 shares of MNKD. not knowing UTHR has about 40 mil outstanding shares where as MNKD will be close to 200 mill shares.
I recently read a thread here where some one was complaining Liquida was trading @ 15 per share where as MNKD was under $2.

Hoping The only dilution going forward should be from the warrants and Shares issued to employees / directors and shares around convertible debt and not to raise $.

The employees have to pay for shares but they dont get to be share holders.  Did you mean that employees will be shareholders but with no voting rights? I posted that as a response to some one asking if ESOP is dilution. I am not sure of the voting rights and voting rights never matter in the big picture unless there is a fight with activists and MNKD is in no way close to that.
What I originally intended or meant to say was- Every share issued - whether through RSU's , Bonus, Employee purchase in discount or shares given as employee performance awards or given away to charity -- will be counted towards outstanding share count and hence is dilution.
I asked the poster a question followed by to answer so he/she will know the answer to his original question. |

the extension was done so Mannkind can get the $$$ from UTHR and then pay to DF as the deal needs to be cleared by FTC and only then UTHR will wire the $.
If they were to convert, they must have filed that in the 8K.

sold some covered calls (1/3) sitting tight on the others.
