Pleasantly surprised with the presentation. Not sure why they didn't use this confidence plus today's deck and presentation on Friday. If they had, may not of had the down grades. IMO I think they took the criticism from Fridays bomb to heart and decided they better share some information. After some thought they decided to share things such as when additional production lines will actually happen, little more specific on when new products come on line and avoiding dilution. Obviously they don't like the massive short position but I'm hard pressed to believe they are playing chess with the shorts, I do believe they took a big step forward but it won't show as a significant increase in share price unless they execute what they outlined and maintain the confidence level of today with frequent updates. If they do that, we will all be very happy in the future....except maybe the shorts if they are stupid enough to hang around. Thanks Matt and management. Good job. Now that we know you can do it, please keep it up.

Do you sense that Matt and Al set up the ultimate game of chess for the shorts last Friday? The delivered the news and only the news and had even the longs concerned as it was a just giving out information. But today they surprised even us with a very nice slick presentation and a great slide deck. They set the stage last week to get everyone's attention in the investment world and it did exactly that from the longs and shorts. The bashing was really horrible. But today they presented what we thought they should have last week?
Checkmate. They do have a game plan and the know how to execute it. Starting to wonder if the CC wasn't planned to be the way it was. If I am reading you correctly, I think you are sensing the same thing. Matt hit a grand slam today! I have to admit I was a bit jaded Friday, but today, I am more convinced than ever. And longs WERE concerned for the most part. Read several KNOWN and TRUSTED longs, even from this board who were thinking the same as I was Friday. Not all of you. Gotta give credit to those that weren't rattled Friday. You know who you are! I hear ya, I'm in the long camp and have been slowly increasing my position (even a small purchase Friday on the drop), however Friday's call put the most doubt in my mind that i've had since learning about MNKD 3 years ago. While i've always believed in the science I'm glad Matt found his balls today.

Now that we know you can do it, please keep it up. I agree. They definitely took the criticism to heart - Matt responded with conviction and with an edge. I am a former CFO for large private company - all I was looking for was to get that feel in leaderships confidence and belief. The confidence is there. Not sure what pps does in short term or next 6-12months - but they do have a plan to get us where we want. Also - Matt did not use the words "great potential niche product" - he used the word "blockbuster" - and with conviction. Most knowledgeable and experienced retail shareholders will not have a problem holding or accumulating at these current share prices. I am convinced that the hardest time to hold will be when we again reach the 6,7,8,9's,etc..... That will most likely be the most important point to hold - The real fruits of this investment will most likely be available in the next 1-3 years - and many of us will have the battlescars of the many dog days of holding this stock to contend with.

Still not sold. This keeps shareholders from rioting in Danbury.

This isn't going to sit well with many on here but Wall St/Shorters still have their game plan and it is still playing out to their benefit. Today's soothing words, if you want to call them that, by Matt doesn't change their thinking. Heck, Matt even telegraphed that he doesn't see the tide turning until August. Short term, that's not exactly good news. He also mentioned that advertising will be by print only at first to minimize costs if I heard correctly. That's smart and prudent but anyone thinking there is going to be some big TV ad blitz is inhaling something that is white but not Afrezza. And there are a lot on Yahoo that still aren't grounded in reality because they think a big ad blitz is going to hit. My hope is to get back into the stock but at a lower lever because I don't think the rape and pillaging by the shorters is close to being finished yet.

Does Al have no political friends? The SEC could shut the very obvious short syndicate down without formal proceedings. Actually I think it's FINRA that we want to report to : see this link. www.finra.org/investors/file-complaintProblems addressed by FINRA: Buy or sell orders Brokerage firm or broker Insider trading Manipulation of security price or volume Account transfer 401(k), pension or retirement plan Investment adviser/financial planner Other - Complaints other than those noted in the sections below (See Definitions Below) FINRA Investor Complaint Center 9509 Key West Avenue Rockville, MD 20850-3329 Phone: (240) 386-HELP (4357) Fax: (866) 397-3290 Problems addressed by the SEC: SEC filing or report Public companies Transfer agent - See more at: www.finra.org/investors/investor-complaint-center#sthash.8BpByquN.dpuf

[ I know I haven't posted much, and still considered a "newbie", so I understand and don't expect any responses........But I did ask for someone to "pass the Kool aid" on Friday.

Still not sold. This keeps shareholders from rioting in Danbury. I guess the only thing that would keep shareholders from Rioting would be for Sanofi to be at the meeting and Al announces that Sanofi has filed a form 13 announcement that they acquired 10% of the common stock over the last 30 day at an average price of $3.60 per share (40,900,000 shares x $3.60 = $147,240,000) Sanofi saw the investment as a way to show confidence in the Afrezza after hearing Matt at the at the Bank of America conference on May 13th. Game over for the shorts. Shares close that day at $25.00 after the announcement. Now that would be a way to appease the shareholders as they broke out bottles of champaign to toast the enhanced partnership.

For what It's worth, go back to Friday's presentation when Matt had to jump in while hakan was answering a question and do on the fly damage control with the answer. It was in response that asked whether the issues surrounding slow launch will be corrected or take care of themselves. The guy takes a lot of heat, but for the financial/IR guy, he knows the tech side of the process. And also fwiw, he's not selling much if any of his stock. On the contrary, he recently gifted shares to someone. Wouldn't be a good gift if you thought the share price was going south.

No remorse at all. Just making a point. Instead of attacking me personally why not discuss or refute what I wrote? I guess you can't because it is easier for you to attack than think.
