Our hunch here is that the shorts have used the recent slide in MannKind shares to cover their positions. We further suspect there are some who see this recent slide as buying opportunity. This interest isn't so much that they believe in Afrezza more so that they believe Sanofi will do something very stupid and be forced to buy MannKind. Listen everyone is aware of MannKind's precarious financial situation and knows that unless they find additional resources their long term viability is questionable. These buyers believe that Sanofi rather than admit they made a mistake by partnering with MannKind, won't let MannKind fail and will bail them out.
