Your investment strategy of sell low ... buy high ... doesn't really work in the long run. Maybe in the short run it might. But, that's mytakeonit It's not selling low and buying high. Usually a loser won't turn to a winner by itself unless dramatic change happens. I will buy back if new hope comes. |

Both shares? Wait, wait, you forgot your ball! 🤣 Just kidding buh bye. I probably hold more shares than you. Only people without much stake at the game don't care about the company's performance. Mike C is really a disappointment. Can't bet my investment on him unless he is gone. I'm sitting at 145,000 shares. And I am not "taking my ball and going home" if I don't get my way.🙂 |

You can guess what happened. My Tesla holding is now worth 10x of my MNKD holding. The lesson I learned is: sticking to loser stocks may not work out well. Unless the company (and its shareholders) are willing to bring in changes, I may continue to trim down my MNKD holdings. |

Based on this preliminary poll to date, it appears there's significantly greater optimism with the current management and direction of the company than many posts suggest. Those choosing to sell, walkaway, change, etc. are clearly in the minority. I suspect this could have something to do with frustrated traders as opposed to longer-term investors which would make sense but there's no way of knowing. There's also no doubt, some long-term investors equally frustrated. No fear. All can turn quickly...in either direction. The beauty of biotechs  GL |

Just look at the other "poll" where half the people want a change in management. And this is on a forum known to have an optimistic bias towards the company. |

From past commentary it would also appear that several yes votes are "on the sideline" and won't hold any sway in an actual vote. I hope no one interprets my posts as happy with the performance of Mannkind to date. I just really dislike the approach VDex / HFM took as it pertains to my investment. |

Being happy and being optimistic are two very different things. I am not happy with Mannkind's performance, but I am quite optimistic at our current prospects. |

Afrezza revenue is increasing every quarter, UTHR, RLS, pediatric approval, Brazil, India, Australia, new TS pipeline molecules, manageable debt and more. A much greater outlook than in the recent past when BK and debt used to be topics of discussion.

Yes.. where is the "proof" that supports all of this optimism? Where is the proof that Mnkd's retention regarding Afrezza is better than what has been spoke about?
If Afrezza was doing so well in our market scipts would be much higher than they are now. Its not rocket science.. it's just common sense.
For anyone on the ground with first hand experience trying to get Afrezza prescribed and seeing what Endos say and do.. and what insurance companies say.. the glaring truth is right there..
There have even been reps on this board telling us what is going on at mnkd.. many of us simply choose to ignore it.
Why?

I was simply going to say no reason I can think of, you may as well sell and move on.🙂 |

wgreystone said that he sold half his MNKD holdings, but it was around the same as longliner's 145,000 shares. But now his TSLA holdings is worth 10X his MNKD holdings. Hmmm ...
For the benefit of doubt ... I'll say that wgreystone has 75,000 shares of MNKD now worth $1.43. And today's TSLA price is $917.42.
75,000 x $1.43 = $107,250 If we divide ... $107,250/$917.42 = 117 shares of TSLA
Well that is today's math lesson. Tomorrow we will learn how to turn $107,250 into $1,072,500 in 2 months.
But, that's mytakeonit

Maybe if VDex quit hiding behind HFM and shared some numbers to indicate their value folks could make an informed decision. I’m sorry but I just think that’s crazy ..why should that have anything to do with your decision, you either like the current management or you don’t. Now Bill has told me that he thinks that it’s a fair question, he’s just not ready to answer it. ( For business reasons.) But my personal opinion is is that you should separate the two.. and then look at the HfM candidates individually. You might decide on voting for one HfM nominee and for others on the Mannkind board. I mean what does mnholdem have to do with Vdex’s numbers? Nothing Maybe, if, (for business reasons) Bill is unable to release any substantive numbers regarding VDex, he should refrain from commenting regarding MC / Mannkind until he is? |
