Despite all the discussion on this, it still seems like a no-brainer to me.
Google/SNY Deal for BG monitoring + Toujeo/Afrezza = World Domination.
Google already practically owns the technology world. Why wouldn't they use diabetes care to dominate the medical world?
Heart Attack, Stroke, Cancer, etc. patients are not long term customers. Diabetics = life long customers, (especially if the drug/BG monitor combo keeps them alive longer).
Type II Diabetes is a lifestyle disease. Keep eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) and you can expect to die a Standard American Death, via Type II Diabetes or worse. Look around. How many people do you see eating the salads at McDonald's, (and it doesn't count if you dump all that dressing on it
. Or forget McDonalds, look in the grocery cart next to you next time your shopping, (or maybe your own!), it's likely full of items which eventually lead you to diabetes. Notice any high fructose corn syrup in your cart??? Read the ingredients, it's there, and it's basically turbo-charged sugar overtaxing everyone's pancreas as it converts it to all that fat we're carrying around on our wastelines.
Big Pharma wants to sell drugs. Big Ag wants to keep selling you cheap corn, milk, eggs, meat, etc. We all know what foods are bad for us, but... it was a hard day a work and I deserve that steak... beer... dessert... pasta... french fries, etc... you get the point. As Richard Simmons used to say back in the 80's, "we all know who lifted Mr. Fork and Mr. Knife to our mouths." Don't get me wrong, I love a good beer and a burger, but I KNOW they aren't good for me when I eat them.
For those of you who have read my rants before on this you may recall that three years ago I was warned by my doctor that if I didn't lose 40-50lbs within 6 months, that he would have to start me on pre-diabetes medication, (scared the crap out of me). I immediately started running 3-5 miles per day and changed my diet. Around that time I found the Nutrition Facts website, (www.nutritionfacts.org), which impressed me from the start with the fact that they are funded by donations, (not $$ from Big Pharma or Big Ag), and only looked at studies on humans. After all, who cares how a rat responds to carrots. I want to know how humans respond to them.
Some may think Dr. Greger (Nutrition Facts) is preaching Psuedoscience. I don't care. I know for a fact that changing my diet to a whole foods plant based diet has saved my life. Chest pains are gone. Allergies are gone. Diabetes is no longer knocking at my door. I am now 160lbs, (I was 212), and I still eat plenty of food - no starvation diets here!
Both my parents are Type II on orals. Neither of them has any desire to change their diet. You know why? As dad says, "I'd rather just take a pill and eat whatever I want. I'm already in my 60's anyway." I think they are very typical Baby-Boomers - No desire to make a change, just give them a pill... (or an inhaler), legalize marijuana, and let them eat what they want, (including the "special" brownies). And yes, here in Washington State you can buy the "special" brownies at the store now. (didn't see that one coming).
Since I can't change their minds, I looked to what probable diseases were on the horizon for their generation and diabetes was a sure bet. Look for innovation in diabetes and you find Al Mann. Look for his best project in diabetes and you find TS/Afrezza. Inhalable even, it's almost funny it's so simple. Put a cartridge of powder in a whistle and inhale.
And yet we worry over the daily BS and FUD. Come on people. Know what you own!
Google is here with SNY on purpose - because SNY has MNKD and MNKD has Afrezza! Maybe this is hard to see amidst all the noise and FUD we've been slammed with, but it seems very likely to me and so my shares are not for sale. To me, all the FUD and noise is just Big Pharma having an "oh-shit" moment.
I believe that "block buster" will be a woefully inadequate description of Afrezza's ultimate success. I am a long term investor with a 5-10 year investment horizon. My shares are not for sale and my resolve on this will not be shaken by the BS and noise we've seen lately.
Good luck all.
You may now commence with telling me how wrong or crazy you think I am.
