Btw, my 92 year old, very conservative, Uncle Frank, a WW2 veteran from the South Pacific theater, and who hangs out with me, just threw $12K in the kitty last week and bought 5500 shares. I'm so happy for him.

I'm so happy for him. Thanks for the investment Frank. And thanks for having helped America to be great. I hope your investment pays you back in a myriad of multiples. You certainly deserve it. |

I'm so happy for him. Tell your Uncle Frank, "Thank you for your service" from prcgorman2. I hope his investment does him some good. My Dad would have been 93 this year (he passed in 2012), and he was also a WWII veteran of the Pacific. He briefly lost his hearing working as part of an artillery battery and they shipped him back to Hawaii where he became an MP. (Loading 90 lb. shells in a 155mm howitzer gave him huge muscles). I'm actually writing this post near Kapaa, Kauai. You have a lovely island and a great culture here and I first learned about it from my Dad. |

Happiest day of her life, and they had 60+ years together. |

I was a prisoner of war during the Vietnam era ... the USAF wouldn't let me go home. Only kidding.
I really appreciate all the WW2 and Korean war veterans who risked it all. I had several uncles who served in the 442nd and 100th batallion. My dad was lucky because he had carpentry skills so they kept him in Hawaii to construct barracks, hospitals, and anything else that was needed.

That’s awesome! Yep Josh is back....who will be next? No offense, but I've read far more insightful reviews about the United Therapeutics good news here on Proboards. Josh's comments were not what I would call "actionable". I've worked on plenty of projects that spent as much or more money than the United Therapeutics deal. I'm not saying the deal wasn't important or valuable. I am saying I have a feel for how far $45M goes. It's not chump change, but I think it will carry MNKD about 6 months at most. I'm not sure what breakeven is for sales, but the comment blurted out at the end of the last quarter's earnings report about breakeven in the next quarter (or so) was not convincing. MNKD has consistently underperformed as regards their guidance for 2018, and I expect the 3rd and 4th quarters will be the same (but would be delighted to be wrong). That means we need better sales performance, more deals, and/or dilution, and/or more debt, but most of all sales performance. There aren't enough products in the pipeline or far enough along in development (let alone marketing) to provide sustainable income. I think things are looking up, but we're still in the woods. A clearer understanding of the Brazil and India milestones and described in terms of timing and magnitude would be helpful. |

No offense taken, when I said, “that’s awesome” I was referring to uncle Frank.

WWII was all out warfare for sure. My Dad served in the Phillipines etc. |

Being a POW with the Germans or Japan in WWII would have been very Ruf. WWII was all out warfare for sure. My Dad served in the Phillipines etc. What they did to him in the German camps was so bad he could barely speak of it. I remember them making them walk in the snow with no shoes, beatings, barely any food or water. His feet were so severely damaged he never felt the bottom of them again for the rest of his life. He went on to became the captain of the riverside fire department and retired there after 25 years. He died at 87 in 1999, my mother outlived him by three years. A month before she died she told me she didn’t think she was going to last that much longer, she was fine, I thought it was strange, then a week before she died we were sitting at lunch and she reached her arm straight up in the air and said,” I’ve got to go pick Lee up at the train station”. She hadn’t spoken of that in over 20 years. I just thought she was a little out of it and going back to the best day of her life, but clearly she knew she was going to join him. When he came home from the war they tried for 20 years to have kids and never could, so they adopted me at birth ..when they told me at five years old I was adopted I was extremely happy because I knew I had best parents in the world! |
