Let's not get caught in the hype (aka trap) just yet. Let the consumer digest what they're seeing, allow them to speak to their doctors, work through Insurance, etc. Otherwise, the shorts here will start yelling at the top of their lungs that 'they told us so' about these commercials and Afrezza in general. Slow your roll...let's just all watch the Friday Rx counts. As a side note, Mike was on FB "Afrezza Users Group" yesterday, helping out patients with insurance problems they had last week. Looks like success based on replies. In my opinion, Mike must delegate control of the function described above to someone else in the organization. It is not the best use of his time as CEO and raises questions in my mind about judgement and organizational skills at MNKD. |

This is actually the thing I like most about Mike and mnkd, and definitely shows how passionate Mike is about making sure first hand that PWD are having a smooth transition from RAA’s to Afrezza. This also reflects good on the Company and the concept that “Mannkindcares”, I mean really !! The CEO is helping with transitional problems via Facebook !! Im sure that experience is a first for every PWD that Mike has helped, regardless of how, Facebook or other means. Great work Mike !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 |

However, considering the replies by MC were made on FB after he was 'tagged' by the user, it's more likely that he made the time to reply from his own FB account. Second, of all the measures in which you could apply to make your best argument regarding his "judgment and organizational skills", I don't believe arguing against his personal interactions with diabetes patients by replying to those who are asking MNKD or MC for help, is worth measuring. That is an intangible quality that can't be quantifiably measured. Let's just take my post for what it was meant to be...sharing information with others here who may not be in that FB Group. Nothing more, nothing less. |

Nothing more, nothing less. It seems we have been duped into a time where some folks feel the need to micromanage and harass our team at MNKD, that Holiday dilution ruffled a lot of retail feathers, including mine, but sometimes things get worse before they get better. That’s just life. In my opinion, responding to a barrage of emails concerning compensation and performance packages, sparked by dilution, and fueled by comments from disgruntled shareholders and shorts, would be a job for someone other than Mike, Rose would be the person. But because Mike does really care, he took the time to explain, in detail, why they do what they do. This is just another example of how Mike will do things for retail shareholders that any other CEO wouldn’t. Im in the same boat as most of us here, but the absolute last thing we Shareholders need is for our Executives to start bailing because of poor shareholder morale, and a change in compensation, something that was negotiated and agreed upon before they were hired. ✌🏻😎 |

One line. Were there others posts by MC? Maybe, but that's the only one I saw / could find. People may be over-imagining how much MC posted on FB, or how much time it took him to do so. |

It’s good to see commercials running strong again. I think all of the different pieces are in place to see script growth this year.

That's the reply. One simple reply by MIKE, yet...not worth all the time spent here if it weren't for the misdirection of one poster. I made a comment to let others know that he was on FB helping a patient navigate their insurance and it resulted in a question of judgment and organizational skills. Sad, but true. I think you're correct in the 'imagination' of some. However, this thread is about commercials and we need to keep it on track, too. |

To be fair, the earlier statement "Mike was on FB "Afrezza Users Group" yesterday, helping out patients with insurance problems they had last week. Looks like success based on replies.", made it sound (to some, including myself) that there was more than one post, and he was responding individually to multiple patients. But it's all good.  |

Jeff speaks up.
On Facebook I suspect Mike was helping that woman through a direct message.
Nobody’s going to bail because we bitched about the equity raise🙄Or how over paid Tross is.
When Mike has an email relationship with somebody he’s not going to throw it to Rose.
I truly believe Mike is sure he can do this, and we’ve turned a corner. Within a year the shorts may be gone:-)
On the other hand I know quite a few retired couples that have been wiped out to the core, their retirements destroyed. And not enough time to recover their losses. So if you’re younger and you’ve treated around your core have a ❤️

One line. Were there others posts by MC? Maybe, but that's the only one I saw / could find. People may be over-imagining how much MC posted on FB, or how much time it took him to do so. I’ve seen several times when Mike has responded to PWD having Insurance and transitional problems, both on Facebook and Twitter. These type of problems are the type that will definitely hurt our retention rate, and it’s definitely something that Mike should be very concerned about. If a PWD tries Afrezza and stops, for whatever reason, the chance of that person trying it again are slim. If you want something done right, sometimes you have to do it yourself, and I strongly believe that rule applies here. Getting PWD on Afrezza and keeping them on it, at this point, is directly related to the success or failure of this Company. This is probably the most important task at mnkd today, and something that Mike should be deeply involved with. Right ?? |

And not enough time to recover their losses. So if you’re younger and you’ve treated around your core have a ❤️ Sports, if you change a pre-negotiated compensation package for anybody, they could leave. Maybe I’m missing something, but a lot of the emails, at least I believe, were about pay and performance packages. Some were complaining about Kendal not buying shares, Mike explained why, in detail. And I was applauding Mike for replying, not complaining, but at any other BP, you wouldn’t see a CEO addressing disgruntled shareholder emails. Again, I’m applauding this, not complaining. And as far as lost money, most, if not all, pre split longs have lost, regardless of age. I just think that most of us, (definitely me), underestimated the challenges we were going to face, beginning with the partner who had better things to do than promote Afrezza, like launch their own product. A literally heartbreaking start to the launch of Afrezza, and a serious blow to all pre split investors. On the other hand, we have a life changing product that is such a game changer, that the PWD who are using it are coming together and sharing their testimonials online for all the world to see. PWD networking via Facebook and Twitter to reach out for help, or responding to help those reaching out. How crazy is that ?? You don’t see this with the other Mealtime options, at least I don’t. Now imagine this same group in a couple of years ! By all means, it should grow as scripts grow, and this will only help with the retention that will measure the success or failure of mnkd. We have a lot of things to be thankful for, some will be more visible after the fog of dilution lifts. ✌🏻😎 |
