To Mike C. -- Imagine Calmness

[longtimerhere]

Respectfully to Mike:  Imagine calmness if you sell-off Afrezza:

No more begging for money with vulture lenders.
No more attending funding conferences with bottom feeder companies.
No more weekly script numbers that move at a snails pace and never spike.
No more revenue guidance that misses badly.
No more hunting for a U.S. partner that's hidden so well it's not really there.
No more searching for worldwide partners that bring little or nothing upfront to MNKD.
No more finger-pointing questions from college interns on quarterly conference calls.
No more world-wide travels that yield nothing except bills to MNKD.
Imagine dumping millions of dollars into a home remodel that in the end can only sell for neighborhood comps.
Imagine stopping your remodeling project (MNKD 2.0, 3.0, etc)

Imagine Calmness without any of the above headaches.

What if he's too busy closing the Amgen deal to sell Afrezza off?

[winstonsmith]

You might need to smoke a doobie yourself......calmness.  Funny post.

[sportsrancho]

Both possibilities. Why is it that I think we are going to have to keep slugging it out in the trenches:-)

You have an interesting imagination 🤓
Imagine how excited Mike can be when Afrezza starts selling better over the next year or two.
Lean forward and walk into it Mike !! Victory will be much sweeter with Afrezza than without.
Get r done
😎

You just registered here on proboards ..... What is your agenda here?

Getting interesting for sure ..

If MNKD gives up control of Afrezza for simple miniscule royalities after everything Al Mann went through and we as shareholders have been through I'm folding up camp and won't look back.. and I don't think I will be the only shareholder doing the same..

Think of the money that has been spent on Afrezza. We had Al Mann funding us then. Nothing in our pipeline comes close to Afrezza.. without it many shareholder's won't stick around.

Technosphere is of course our other baby,but how much money and how many years before that is off the ground..

Where will the sp go if MNKD gives up control of Afrezza for royalties.. IMO there would be a massive sell off.. and extremely angry shareholders.

Mike C and company knows this I'm sure. But it's quite interesting that this topic keeps coming up and that Vdex was in talks suggesting this same thing.

I myself thought we should form a kind of partnership with Vdex.. but never would I support handing over control of Afrezza to them or anyone else . We need a partner with deep pockets ..we need the money to properly market Afrezza.

Completely agree...but if Mike was willing to do that type of deal...then I’ve been had....bad. After all he has said to many of us in emails/DM’s.. I would be completely shocked. Just me maybe

[sweedee79]

My trust in management has waned somewhat.. sorry to say. I've become more of a realist considering all we are up against..

Mike said no dilution and then we had a surprise offering right before Christmas.. comments were deleted on Mike's Twitter for some reason . And then Twitter account locked..

Then we have Vdex all of a sudden posting quite a lot more than usual here on PB..Short time after that rumors of Vdex and assoc. seeking control of Afrezza..

Red flags popping up everywhere.. just my gut feelings of course.. I still think Mike is amazing,but he too is human.. and there is obviously a lot going on behind the scenes. I just pray this big push and recent dilution is enough.

Some are advocating giving up control of Afrezza for royalties.. I'm making it known I believe that would be a mistake..

[mytakeonit]

OH NO sweedee ... I too want to feel your guts ... but, don't let your trust wane. I too don't want to make a scene ... so, wait a couple of months and then we'll see. HUH?

[sportsrancho]

I don’t think anybody is for giving up Afrezza, unless they just cannot sell it. I think there’s a 70% chance this push will work. If it doesn’t they can’t keep throwing good money after bad, and it would be better to get an upfront payment and royalties just like will be done with the other drugs in the pipeline.
We need to keep the drug alive no matter what, we can’t go down with it. It could be better in others hands, with that being said ..I think they are going in the right direction, I think it’s gonna work. I’m seeing evidence of it already, ( but I don’t know exactly what they’re looking for as far as how much money they’re willing to spend for the results.) And I hope it attracts a partner. A BP with ties to insurance companies that Wall Street respects. Also the more we sell the more the price can come down.
We will never be able to develop TS if Afrezza bleeds us dry, just looking at the big picture. There isn’t a enough money to do everything right at this point. Let’s see what happens in the next few months.

[sayhey24]

The question to ask is, is afrezza really as good as most of us think and as good as Al Mann thought?
Are results like VDex got with their 200 patient pilot real or are they just BS'ing?
Is Steve Edelman inhaling some of that funny stuff in CA which is not afrezza?

You know what I imagine, afrezza as Step 1 in the Standard of Care. Once that happens

No more begging for money with vulture lenders.
No more attending funding conferences with bottom feeder companies.
No more weekly script numbers that move at a snails pace and never spike.
No more revenue guidance that misses badly.
No more hunting for a U.S. partner that's hidden so well it's not really there.
No more searching for worldwide partners that bring little or nothing upfront to MNKD.
No more finger-pointing questions from college interns on quarterly conference calls.
No more world-wide travels that yield nothing except bills to MNKD.

Changing the current diabetes paradigm from within is a slog especially with limited funds. Dr. Kendall while slowly is moving the ball. Sometimes a paradigm requires an external force and companies like Apple are looking for new revenue.

[rockstarrick]

As it says below my avatar,,,,,
Can’t never could do nothing !!

Afrezza will not be sold cheap, imo

[buyitonsale]

Calmness for me is achieving at least 121% increase in Q3 net sales yoy for next 2 years. No more money worries after that. SP stable after that. Pediatric approval is icing on the cake after that. My investment pays off after that.

Mike C, keep doing what you are doing.

Those doctors will come around once more patients are aware.

Awareness, adherence, persistence.

CGMs will reveal the truth.

Afrezza will change more and more lives year after year.

Feel calmer now?

[mytakeonit]

Afrezza doesn't have to be sold cheap ... just cheaper.

Can't do nothing never could
