Don't get lured by Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt postings into discussions about bankruptcy and failures of the past. This is a new day with the passionate Dr. Michael Castagna now leading the charge. ANY company even approaching bankruptcy does not continue hiring, shoot a TV commercial, sponsor a reality show, have a booth at ADA, discuss future international deals, enter into an agreement with One Drop, announce a dynamic and passionate new CEO, etc. If so, then management has been fraudulently misrepresenting this company the past several months and this just isn't the case...IMO. Bigger news is coming. The great and possibly final epic battle between shorts and longs, fudsters and pumpers seems to have begun and it's going to be a doosy  |

Castagna is a great presenter and his voice shows confidence, something Matt was completely lacking. We will hear from him on a regular basis via podcasts and more to come  |

Bigger news is coming. The great and possibly final epic battle between shorts and longs, fudsters and pumpers seems to have begun and it's going to be a doosy You really do a horrible disservice to people that may be considering MNKD as an investment. Read the financials. They have a clear ongoing concern warning from the accountants. The fact that they are soon running out of money without an infusion of cash is very, very real. There is no way revenue will catch up with burn. To be flip and claim people pointing out the reality are engaging in FUD is offensive and disingenuous. If you want to go that route, it is actually your pumping and spinning that is the misrepresentation. What a bunch of hog wash... companies would stop discussions of striking business deals if they are facing bankruptcy? Wouldn't engage in joint marketing? Wouldn't go to trade shows? What on earth do you think a company does when they are running out of money... curl up under their collective desks and wimper. Your post is silly... wand obviously show you've never worked for a start up company and likely not done a lot of investing. Hopefully no one takes your pumping as any serious assessment of the risks associated with MNKD. It has potential for large payoff but it also has potential for downside, either because they are in such a precarious situation that any capital they do raise with be hugely dilutive or that they will indeed be unable to raise capital at all and have to do bankruptcy reorg. I have no problem if you want to state that you have "hope" or even a personal "belief" that things will be nothing but sunshine from here (and I likely would not have commented about your post if just that).. but calling others names to try to lend credibility to your spinning is not something I'm ok with. |

Don't get lured by Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt postings... You really do a horrible disservice to people that may be considering MNKD as an investment. A disservice to fellow investors is to revert to personal attacks versus discussing the many various perspectives being offered by both longs and shorts. Whenever I see an abundance of negativity such as the discussions of bankruptcy immediately following the announcement of a new CEO, it motivates me to offer a counter opinion. Frankly, it's pleasing to see I've hit a nerve. |

Young blood 2.0 A company that has never had a profitable quarter is a start up in my book. Creating a product is an important step, but I think by any rational consideration, creating a market for the product is always considered part of creating an ongoing company. You can't constantly be burning through other peoples' money. |

Never invest what you are not willing to lose.
"You really do a horrible disservice to people that may be considering MNKD as an investment." This works both ways. Not fully understanding of the potential can be just as horrible.

Be prepare to see various butcher article from Seeking, hotstock and many others with catchy eye headlines such as "Internal turmoil", "Power Struggle", "Heading to BK " etc to say the least.

Very well said. I am often perplexed by people that claim the future is bright because executives speak positively about the company and the future. My question is, what do people expect them to say? |

We have to give Mike a chance, he has had the job for a total of six hours or so, but there is also a need to be realistic. The company spends $7 million a month and takes in substantially less than $1 million in revenue. Eventually that math catches up with the ability to keep moving forward. There are ways to delay the day of reckoning, but Mike will have to hit a few quick home runs to make it happen. Batter up.

There are ways to delay the day of reckoning, but Mike will have to hit a few quick home runs to make it happen. Batter up. I'm still trying to digest what the change in leadership might mean for prospects of dealing with our cash situation. I never expected some lottery type windfall from a pending international deal, but I was hopeful based on last CC that something was in the works and might provide some additional runway... as well as needed "validation" that others see market viability. The move today makes me question whether there would be some international deal nearing completion. Perhaps it is hard to guess, but wouldn't Matt have likely been driving partnership discussions? What are your thoughts on the international deals mentioned in the conference call? |
