Well we weren't red today, that's a plus I guess... there is no plus here when the whole of the medical field lies through their teeth. Quote from another thread; "onedrop.today/blogs/blog/fiasp-insulin-why-its-different-how-it-works Interesting comparison chart on time to onset for Fiasp vs. Afrezza. I had no idea they could claim a faster onset than Afrezza, 2x faster even. Top that with a whole bunch of user quotes, and it seems the FDA or someone has corraled MNKD into doing nothing with their marketing department. Seems like MNKD should take a lesson from Novo's playbook." The truth, I met a man dancing with many screws in his spinal cord. In pain. His comment to me, "that medicine lies."

Like how 200 day the MA is being defended I respect the attempt to put the most positive spin possible on this ugly decline. What “ugly decline” are you referring to? The posting on Proboards? :-) Aren’t we trading within about 15 cents pre-dilution? I get it that dilution is a problem for dividends and someday that will matter. Right now my cost basis and my holdings are about the same as they were back in December. Flat? Yeah. “Ugly decline”? Sure if you want to put a negative spin on it.

I have no idea why you bring up your cost basis in regards to dilution, but your holdings are not the same as they were before dilution because there are more shares now. You have less, and to get back to your original cost basis, the market cap needs to be higher than it was before dilution.

You have less, and to get back to your original cost basis, the market cap needs to be higher than it was before dilution. It all depends on your purchase date, some are way up, some are way down, I am very clear on where I am (see my history). I am down and buying as quickly as my plan allows, my goal is to continue to own 1/1000 of the company (so if you think dilution bothers you, be assured it bothers me), buying reduces my cost basis, when I sell at $41.95 all will be well in my world. Additionally I had an awesome time coaching 4, 7th grade shot putters in a meet today, I only had two in tears (quickly resolved) and 3 PR's So the best part of my life is moving forward. Last week I had an extremely wealthy business man tell me that he has 5 grandchildren that now live on the lake we live on, and that he is a "millionaire" (which he has been for years). I affirmed with him that it's not the money that we measure our success by as we age, but the access to grandchildren, and what we enjoy. Be well and prosper. The volume will continue to fluctuate.

I get it and nice life wisdom. But cost basis doesn’t change when dilution itself occurs. If you average down afterwards, it’s a different story. Each share, however, is worth less.

Right now my cost basis and my holdings are about the same as they were back in December. Flat? Yeah. “Ugly decline”? Sure if you want to put a negative spin on it. To clarify since you asked what "ugly decline": ugly decline = i'm looking right now at the one month chart. "Ugly" is a gentle way to put it. Over the course of that chart, only seven days have been green, the rest are red. So perhaps take a look at that one-month chart to see if you agree. You might counter by saying that's not fair, and we should look at the one year chart. It's up and down, but granted not nearly as ugly. However, then I would counter with the five year chart, and ugly would be too nice a word for that. I've been a shareholder for over five years, so my perspective is different from yours if you got in more recently at much lower buy-in prices.

Also, the original statement that I called "most positive spin possible" was how the 200 day MA was being defended (at around $1.61). Well now even that positive statement doesn't hold true, as of today.
So i bought more. Yes, maybe i'm a sucker, but still dollar cost averaging down, as i'm in this for the long haul but damn has it ever been a painful ride.

.......most importantly my relationship with God and if it's advancing or declining. This life is only a drop in the ocean compared to eternity and where I will spend that is most important to me.

Does anyone have a theory as to why MNKD has traded two thirds of the average daily volume in the first five minutes? Maybe it's a typo?

However, then I would counter with the five year chart, and ugly would be too nice a word for that. I've been a shareholder for over five years, so my perspective is different from yours if you got in more recently at much lower buy-in prices. I first bought shares in 2013 before FDA approval. It wasn't a big buy because of the rocky road to FDA approval and no way of knowing what the FDA's Advisory Committee was going to recommend. After FDA approval I bought in hard. Yes it's been an awful bloody experience but overall things look much more positive to me now; the most positive since the announcement of the $1B+ worldwide marketing deal with an insulin BP giant. After Sanofi stabbed Mannkind in the back business prospects appeared nearly hopeless regardless of the fact that Afrezza was proving to be everything and more we could have hoped for. Now we seem to spend a lot of time griping about the slow pace of improvement and blaming the management for it instead of thanking them for avoiding bankruptcy and helping us to get to where we can complain about the slow pace. Some people are just disposed to gripe and there is certainly fodder for it from time to time with this investment and the paid bashers and the short raids don't help improve one's humor. But, today is a day to be thankful for renewal and hope and blessings so with that I wish you all a Good Friday and a blessed Easter weekend.
