I was having a cup of coffee this morning reflecting on my investment in MannKind. It’s been more than a decade now. Over the last couple of months, I must admit that I have been down. The amount of negativity coming in from all sides 24/7 has been disheartening to say the least. I am a true believer in MannKind and Afrezza and yet it has been hard to hear that management sucks, Afrezza has failed etc etc. It has often left me in a dark place. With all the negativity, I have struggled to believe that MannKind will survive.
And then comes yesterday’s script numbers. Now they were not earth shattering but revenue and refills were at record levels, just barely. So for days on end I have been struggling to believe that its all over and that I mentally need to move on and then comes yesterday’s numbers. While I have been fretting and worrying about the survival of the company, MannKind management and staff have been forging ahead day after day. They still have their eye on the ball while I am emotionally all over the place. Friday’s scripts numbers reminded me that we are not out of this fight by a long shot. We potentially have Brazil news, pediatric news, UTHR news on the horizon. In fact, none of us saw the UTHR deal coming. What a nice surprise that was.
So yesterday was a good day for me. It is hard to describe how I felt after reading the numbers. Yesterday wasn’t a fist pump, we are rockin type of feeling. It was more of an internal small smile that pulled me out of my dark place. I now have a quiet assurance that MannKind isn’t done at all but plodding along trying to change the world. I can live with that.

Amen. Exactly my experience. Yesterday I said to myself the numbers were good for the first out of the 2nd inning of a baseball game that even Al hadn't planned on playing. The team's just getting warmed up. Thanks for reminding me of that....small smile.

My sentiment exactly. How many of us been in this fight for over a decade?
I personally respect Dr.Mann and his accomplishments in science and technology.

I now have a quiet assurance that MannKind isn’t done at all but plodding along trying to change the world. I can live with that. Additionally, why is MNKD price stuck where it is? Everyone is waiting to see what happens? I was glad to see the increase in scripts as well. refills. In my minds eye, there is only one reason MNKD scripts are failing. That is the system of INSURANCE coverage that sounds like the same crap I hear on the nightly news. YES it is. No it isn't. Prove it; system that we are not allowed to accept what we see in front of our very eyes. Joey gave his observations regarding UNH on another thread. AGREED. The system has been set up by those that can pay to play. silly me, when I grew up I got the impression kickbacks were/are illegal. One of the first things I remember liane pointing out to me is a system were the physicians have to tell how much they get from pharmaceutical companies. We have no system that shows us the kickbacks the insurers in this country get from their clients. We have been lied to all our lives. And yet yesterday was a happy day. |

Today I had a good day like I have been having for weeks now. I put the negativity on ignore. Do your self a favor and focus on the truth Afrezza is the best insulin on the market and Mannkind has a future as big as any BP out there.

Secure a loan of significance to prevent or delay dilution for the foreseeable future and mnkd stocks goes to $6+. I'm guessing that amount is $200 million. Mix that in w some sort of stock options and things happen . UTHR, Brazil, India, other countries pending...Boom. ..My opinion.

"Financial markets are a formidable tool for transferring wealth from the impatient to patients" W.Buffet Yes, I think my investment in MNKD was too large because I was impatient with the more modest gains of safe investments and wishing for a quick home run. It certainly has taught me a lesson. If only I had been patient and satisfied with the returns of an S&P index fund these past years. A good bit of my retirement was transferred to short sellers. |

I will admit to thinking we would be well ahead of the game and dollars to match by now. MNKD still has the potential to deliver the big hit. As released today at ADA the science is sound and successful. MNKD needs to reach financial security for things to take off via sales, loan, as mentioned or partnership. Stock is still undervalued in any case. |

The key here is for Marketing to disseminate this new information as widely as possible via the medical media. Aside from initial press releases on their website, they haven’t had much success in this area. Diabetes writers are always looking for good stories so Garrett needs to jump on this ASAP. Interviews with diabetes journals would go a long ways if Kendall and Castagna would elaborate on the significance of the new data for treating T1 and T2.
