So our CFO and our lord Savior Kendall sold around 1/3 of their already slim holdings. Whether it's for tax purposes or not, I don't care. They certainly aren't buying other than their token discounted shares. Thanks for that vote of confidence right before the earnings call. Expected response. You are always negative. You bring absolutely NO positivity to this board. I'm no sucker—I believe you are a short. Regardless, change your attitude, the world will NEVER become better with negativity. Spread some positive vibes...for once! I'm fairly positive that management could have paid their tax obligations out of their current salaries. |

I do believe they take shares off the top to cover taxes when new shares are vested. Kind of like when they take taxes off the top when I draw from my 401k. Good news is new money keeps going in while Im taking out its part of my benefits.

I'm fairly positive that management could have paid their tax obligations out of their current salaries. I myself will be getting the final of four incentive stock disbursements later this year. We’re given no option with regard to the shares they hold back and sell for taxes. I don’t know the accounting or regulatory requirements around it, but it sounds like common practice at least. |

Mango my friend, awesomo is not short ..you’re attacking people and lashing out because you’re emotionally upset. Everything is going to be OK. Maybe not around this ER call because it is again hyped up and set up for disappointment. Or maybe Mike pulls the big one out of his hat...IDK, but just keep focusing on Afrezza. And all the other stuff you report on to keep us all informed:-) I like your recommendation to stay focused in spite of harrassment. That is good. With respect to awesomo. The condescending and sarcastic tone that is often used to criticize performance, management, and the thoughts of other posters offends. I can be brutally caustic too, but I feel like that insults myself as much as it does the targets of the attack. I like the characterization of “glass half full” because it describes a view of reality which is accurate but not negative. I won’t typically preach much because it’s like trying to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig. |

wow. Interesting. In regards to being offended, this article is pretty much in line with other schools of psychology on the subject of being offended. Perhaps it can be of help to some here. ””So what factors determine the intensity of the offensive feeling? Insecurities. One of the most common reasons people take offense is insecurity. Insecurities are based on one’s self-concept, ideas and feelings about self (Coon & Mitterer, 2009). When the self-concept is challenged, one will question perceptions of self and insecurities ensue. The goal becomes finding a way to rectify the words spoken or actions taken with the self-concept. If rectification does not place, the feeling of offense can be an effect. The dissonance between one’s self-concept and another’s words or actions can be rectified not only with acceptance, but also with a strong identity and self-concept. The person will need to make a choice: to accept, reject with offense, or reject without offense. "If a person has a strong self-concept, the less likely s/he will choose to take offense."“ www.sagu.edu/thoughthub/the-psychology-of-offense |

We’re given no option with regard to the shares they hold back and sell for taxes. I don’t know the accounting or regulatory requirements around it, but it sounds like common practice at least. I have a choice, but I always sell to pay taxes because it's the lowest risk approach. |

Agreed awesomo. Some of the most condescending posts on this board are by the unwavering pumpers who accuse some of us of being “too negative” or “I know you’re a short” when our posts are critical. Personally doesn’t bother me a bit, if I post an opinion then I’m fine with whatever reaction folks wanna have. It’s a message board and we’re here for hearty and civil debate. As brotherm said above, insecurity plays a role.

Good news is new money keeps going in while Im taking out its part of my benefits. Hey my 401k also does that but my account is magical ... because although new money isn't going in anymore ... my account keeps growing larger due to interest going in. Amazing! But, that's mytakeonit |

Denial:
According to Merriam-Webster, denial psychology is a "defense mechanism in which confrontation with a personal problem or with reality is avoided by denying the existence of the problem or reality."
