Sometimes when you really don't have strong numbers to justify your existence you just make them up. Thus the 22%. As they say figures don't lie, but liars can figure. He will ask for shares for sure. He told us in the ASM 2 years ago he wanted to keep a stockpile of shares on hand to take advantages of "opportunities like acquisitions". I think I accidentally laughed out loud. Interesting read. www.mmm-online.com/home/channel/features/mannkind-version-2-0-ceo-michael-castagna-faces-his-biggest-test-yet-with-afrezza-reboot/ “We know that the company will be here for the long run and we can control our own destiny,” Castagna says, crediting director, corporate communications Naomi Bandison-Johnson as the driving force behind the new brand.

I would like to know the percentage of shareholders upon which this 22% increase applies. I'll bet it's near zero.

I thought maybe close 12/31/19 @ $1.29 to close 02/24/20, the day before earnings release @ $1.52. But that only yields a 18% rise. I agree with Neil, but I think it was pretty sleezy of Mike to make that comment since most long term investors are under water on MNKD. Sleazy is an understatement and IMO provides disturbing insight into his thought process. I really hope the BOD is covertly looking for a seasoned CEO to take over. |

Was it MC? I thought it was Binder. Either way, I rolled my eyes too. It's a meaningless platitude. No long term long cares. Quote stuff like that when MNKD isn't a penny stock anymore.
