Does somebody need a nap?
Look, I was ready to ask for a script. And I just had a somewhat similar expeirenced (which I will post in a different thread) as Affrizzle had. My doc loves me now cause' I told him about MNKD from an stock perspective. He is more interested in Technosphere the Afrezza.
People are excited. It's ok to keep one on your shelf at home. We have been waiting for years. if we invested in an auto parts company, maybe we'd buy the first oil filter to roll of the line (though most oil filters don't make save or improve people's live). Car guys don't need to jump on that one- it's just an example.

Ok, Spiro wants to know, in addition to Al, Matt and Hakan, who will be at the annual meeting in May with a Dreamboat in their pocket? It may very well be embarrassing to show up without one. That plastic whistle that Baba carries around in his pocket will not be acceptable.

Perhaps someone ought to email Matt and suggest that all shareholders who attend the meeting be given an inhaler for "show and tell" purposes...

I hope nobody wants to hang me for this, but I personally think going low carb is best for pre-diabetics. Make sure to increase your fat intake as well. Personally, I am convinced a lower carb paleo diet is ideal for everybody, not just diabetics. After a while of LCHF your pancreas should start recovering somewhat so you can have the occasional cheat meal. Ofcourse any sizeable amount of carbs taken before your pancreas has recovered sufficiently should ideally be covered by Afrezza, but if it is just an occasional cheat I don't know if it would matter a lot. In case anybody starts doubting my identity; no worries I am still long and bullish on MNKD, I'm just giving my opinion on a health issue here. to the gallows! i will join you. not to make our stock board all diet, but I agreed 100% until recently. paleo for me is a God-send, so I'm a caveman koolaid drinker. When I get too slack with it, I am a swollen, lethargic, no energy sloth. I really believe sugar is the devil. but it tastes so good. However, I know some who have tried paleo and they have bad bad stomach pains every time they eat. until potatoes, pasta, rice are included. then the stomach pain stops. they don't fell all lethargic on the carbs (nor do they seem to gain weight). pretty interesting, bc until a couple months ago I'd never heard a story like that from paleo people. fun couple of days we've had. let's see how the ratio of "paradigm shift" to "exhubera" media mentions trends over the next 12 months. Feels like 1/1 right now, we want that to be undefined! I think in week 2-3 of prescription numbers, the shorties will be out writing again. slow uptake, sanofi's backburner, niche, blah blah blah. But it's been niiiiice and quiet without them.

I've put several hundred hours to understand this co, setup a blog, wrote hundred articles. It is just more than a stock for me. The Engineer in me wants to see how it is designed. gomnkd, I have followed your blog for years through the ups and downs of this stock, and at times it was like a lifeline to me. I know nothing about stocks, and got into it on the recommendation of a coworker who is friends with one of Al Manns sons here in Vegas. They made out well on Minimed and planned to do the same with Mannkind. This is the only stock I own and I am very "Long" (pun intended) Mannkind. I invested my 401k in it from my last job, and when it got down do $1.98, I moved it to a Roth and paid the taxes on it. No matter how low it got, I never wavered, never worried, and added to it when I could. Any other company would have been toast after not one but 2 CRL's, without the backing and the vision of someone like Al Mann. Al never wavered, and just kept moving forward, seeing it through every single hurdle. I recall witnessing the Adcom on Matese's blog and it was absolutely awesome, like one big family reunion seeing us all there and seeing Al Manns vision start to unfold. So after all my rambeling, I just wanted to say, I understand wanting to hold the final product in your hands, after so many many years, to see it pass every single hurdle, to finally make it to the market, it truly is like Christmas. i am so happy to see you here!

(It's OK to post the link...) afresa.blogspot.comYou must have seen it, it has everything you could possibly want to know about MannKind and Afrezza. It was started back before they had to change the name of the drug from Afresa to Afrezza. It was my reassurance that the science was really there and this was worth waiting for.

Thanks for the kind words Indigodaisy. I've not posted for a while as I've nothing new to say.
I put that rude poster on ignore. Life is too short to deal with hate.

No, I don't think I've ever actually visited. I don't spend a lot of time surfing the web to DD MNKD (I don't even know much about biotech)... I just read this board

Thanks for the kind words Indigodaisy. I've not posted for a while as I've nothing new to say. I put that rude poster on ignore. Life is too short to deal with hate. Gomnkd I've seen your blog and I feel it is a terrific asset to the investment community. Personally, I recognize that it requires hard work and takes time, but by assembling reliable information and links in one place, you do a service to others, and I salute you for that! I think a great number of us here who have lived through deeply disappointing FDA CRLs and waited interminably for the day of approval, and then have waited again for many months until the partnership and launch, are hungry for something positive. First, we believe in Al Mann and his commitment to doing this because he has the wisdom and vision to know what it means to truly help improve lives; and we sense that the technology, not just Afrezza, is something special. I think Technosphere is just one of the first technologies in the 21st century that will create great paradigm changes in health care. History demonstrates those periods where a cluster of great things happen and they serve to change lifestyles. Al Mann believes this, and did what was necessary to get the baby delivered. That he is turning his attention to other pursuits at this time convinces me that he feels assured of success with this company. A second reason we feel childlike excitement on the board now has to do with the miscreants who have worked hard and relentlessly to manipulate the message around this company, as they do with many startup biotechs. Biopharmas especially are vulnerable because the long periods of waiting for FDA approvals or completing required studies creates an unsupervised play period for FUDsters. The ability of these snakes to write bullsh*t without any accountability by the SEC begins to wear on a person after awhile. Ultimately, there are dishonest people who are part of the problem, and good people who are part of the solution. You're a part of the solution. GLTA Chris_C

Biotec, are you short or sold for a significant loss in the last few months? The higher MNKD stock price goes up, the grumpier you get.

its not a need it's a want. I'm a fan of Milton Friedman's philosophy of free to choose. I'm heavily invested, want, and can afford a sample. You probably wouldn't approve of what's in my garage either. Milton Friedman's Free To Choose. EXCELLENT! It's good to find a kindred spirit. Have you read Bastiat? Hayek? Mises? Free markets only exist in a free society where INDIVIDUAL liberty reigns. Absolutely, mises.org is an awesome resource. Bastiat I know more from quotes than full books, but Hayek's road to serfdom was eye opening for me. We all waste time on the Internet, but one of my diversions is to watch the excerpts from Free to Choose and Friedman's take downs of the Socialist arguments. nice to meet you
