So of the 135M remaining authorized shares, 84M are locked into equity compensation plans (62%). And now they are going to authorize 400M more… More free shares and crazy bonuses for BoD, management, and friends! Damn, if I were you, with your angst, and I had shares, I'd sell em and move on to a management team I could trust! What luck for you! Some pretty heavy hitters seem to be buying the shit out of MNKD right now! Buh bye  It does not make any logical sense for someone to be invested in a company that has an executive management team and BoD he/she despises, is always displeased and negative about every single company development and every single script report, and every single decision made by the CEO. Always a conspiracy theory being cooked up by this group that the management and BoD are always out to get shareholders! Yes, a true investing anomaly only seen here at MannKind. A strange investing strategy for sure, would make a great case study for some psych graduate students one day I suppose. |

Profits I’ll take … leave the politics out of it .Too late, FACT SHEET: President Biden’s Cap on the Cost of Insulin Could Benefit Millions of Americans in All 50 States https:/ /www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/03/02/fact-sheet-president-bidens-cap-on-the-cost-of-insulin-could-benefit-millions-of-americans-in-all-50-states/ Also, what profits? I don’t know who to believe. The “FACT SHEET” (which is funny all by itself) implies Joe Biden single-handedly reduced the cost of insulin. A similar announcement from 3 years ago from the CMS (admittedly, not the White House staffers) says it was the previous administration. www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/president-trump-announces-lower-out-pocket-insulin-costs-medicares-seniors |

Nah, there's enough "positivity" around these boards to fuel the planet so there's no need to add to that, so some try to bring a more critical approach. But then the usual crowd cries about negativity and "bad intentions" while they continue to have their pie in the sky. |

How much sense does it make to invest in a stock when you know the naked shorts, corrupt hedge fund manipulators and competing big pharma companies are conspiring to “hold down” the share price? Free advice to anyone who believes those conspiracy theories: you should sell your shares immediately and stop feeling so miserable.
But there’s good news on the 400 MILLION share authorization: in addition to staving off all the hostile takeover bids, such an authorization also will ward off vampires. So if this proposal passes, the folks at Westlake can rest easy and stop wearing garlic around their necks.

But then the usual crowd cries about negativity and "bad intentions" while they continue to have their pie in the sky. "more critical"? "an entirely critical approach" would be more accurate. And critical skepticism is OK, but critical examination should turn up both good and bad or it's not very believable. No company is entirely all good, nor all bad. On balance the current management inherited a cratered mess and navigated from the brink of bankruptcy to the brink of profitability despite "toxic debt", predatory shorting (and continuing heavy SIR), and a global pandemic. Most reasonable people would probably view that journey and the accomplishments that made it possible as mostly positive and the reason the stock is in the $4s instead of the $1s with analyst forecasts indicating the share price should increase substantially on expected fundamental operational performance. I don't expect any kind of different outlook or news out of the shareholder's meeting so I feel ok sharing "positivity". |

I haven't forgotten about that inside information you supposedly have about why people are foolish to believe the reasons suggested by MannKind management regarding the proposed authorization of 400 MILLION additional shares. And that you know the real reasons institutional investors will support the proposal. C'mon man... Making up stuff to mock people can't be all that rewarding, can it? Help us poor uninformed investors out. Share that good information you're hiding.

This blood glucose data, is from Afrezza guys' continuous glucose monitor. As can be done with Afrezza, Afrezza guy know exactly how much a 4 unit cartridge will bring his blood glucose down. He does it and shows us. Positivity or negativity it is difficult to disagree with these blood glucose readings milligram /deciliter. /photo/1 I Admit It, I Inhale!

I call out B.S. claims, which on this board happens to be things like "V-Go will be profitable in one year". If this board was making similar claims to the negative and nobody was saying anything, I would call that out too. |

If this board was making similar claims to the negative and nobody was saying anything, I would call that out too. I would not exactly call what I said a bullshit claim. We paid 10M for VGo and it has done well so far. ”We continue to see V-Go net revenue tracking at the high end of our forecast range of $18 million to $22 million for the 12 months post-acquisition.” |

I'm not arguing anyone's side here, but for those who would like a "straw man" reference (copy and paste into your browser, it doesn't like being forwarded from another site):

Thank you porkini.
So I suppose cretin is saying I distorted his remarks that "fun" "imaginative speculation" was required to believe the reasons quoted by MannKind management for requesting authorization for issuing 400 million additional shares. It wasn't a distortion.
cretin is saying the reasons provided by MannKind management aren't believable and are in fact fanciful, but hasn't disagreed that believable or not, the request is likely to be approved by large professional institutional investors such as BlackRock.
Since cretin mocked the naivete of both retail (and institutional investors) as "fun" imaginative speculation" then cretin should be able to prove why investors are naive to believe what MannKind management included in their announcement.
I'll let it go. At this point I think we all know why he will not and cannot give the reasons for his opinions.
