Jeesh! It like war out there today on Mnkd stock. "This just just in Sir from the field, heavy hit taken from the left flank by a Schimmer shell. Another hit taken on the right flank by a Bloomberg bomb. Long troops are holding strong on the front line hoping for reinforcements from Sanofi shock troops." What a memorable stock.  |

My portfolio was destroyed today. I own 3 stocks that had 7% and above losses.

It's a pinata. Every time the Wall Street firms want some candy, they write a hit piece, have their lawyers review it to assure they aren't stating any facts, then short and publish. Meantime, the larger holders are accumulating and the larger shorts are probably using options strategies to cover. Some days you see huge options volumes. Looking forward to tRx picking up in coming weeks. Not for weak stomachs (or hands)  |

As much as I enjoy the shenanigans of the stock market and the roller coaster of owning MNKD stock, I think that equating it to a war is a bit of a stretch. With the news about the Syrian refugees streaming through my media feeds, I am so grateful every day that all of us on this board, the analysts, bashers, delusional pumpers are sheltered from the actual travails of being in a war zone. At worst, we stand to lose some money, whatever the outcome of this saga, not our lives, our health, or well being. The luxury to be able to agonize over stock price fluctuations of MNKD is one that I will never take for granted.

The most I have to lose with Mnkd stock is money, not my life. Good thing to remember when looking at the big picture. |

I hear what you are saying patryn, I too watch the footage shown of the people leaving Syria. (Governments are capable of turning their guns on its people) Syria has been in a many year drought. the farms lost over time. The farmers into the city.
Underlying some of what television shows me what is going on there is pipelines. Many pipelines from Iraq and Iran run to Syria. Notice, the world has decided to allow Syria to figure out its self. ============================================================= The parallel I can see with war, Syria, is pipelines. Afrezza if the prescriptions are written and covered by insurance will disrupt pipelines. Blindhogs basal has been halved in 6 weeks. ============================================================ We see every evening on BBC news and PBR footage how many people are allowed to be displaced and die over pipelines. Enough said. Attachment Deleted

Especially what is happening to the children. Never take life for granted. However you have a legit gripe too. We all work hard for our money and to watch our investments toyed with is tough to swallow. |

Patryn, Great perspective, however, for some who are PWD and just happen to be investors the thought of those that intentionally go out of their way to harm the stock and the company behind it is revolting to say the least. When you think about individuals like ML Granger, among many others that has had to endure Pfizer's FU with the former inhalable product and now which is 100% no doubt in my mind NVO's concerted effort to try and delay the inevitable it is a war with casualties...just not as obvious as what you see on CNN. I can handle the daily nuisance of the market noise, but I won't tolerate the political bullsheet of BP and the insurance cos. effecting quality of lives and health on a daily basis....it's long in the tooth at this point and has had and continues to have casualties of a different kind indeed. |

Management needs to get their act together. That's the real problem. Get your act together and do a better job. The job you are paid to do by us shareholders. I know they read the board or their underlyings do. Channel the message up.

How about getting yours together and suggesting what you want them to do. Sanofi is responsible for marketing or did you not know that? |

To centralcoastinvestor's original point, MNKD is the classic example of what the stock market calls a "battlefield stock". Two sides are firmly entrenched in their positions. Two sides are convinced they are absolutely right and the other side is absolutely wrong. Neither side will yield.
There are generals on both sides with $billions at stake, so it's easy to compare what has been happening to a war. My real concern is how long it has taken and continues to take in order to get Afrezza to those diabetics who need it.
There are casualties, for certain, and not merely the financial ones we share holders tend to stay focused on. In all my years of investing, I've never seen this many powerful enemies and short interests aligned against a company with a single medical breakthrough. It's what makes me believe that Technosphere must truly be remarkable. With truly disruptive technology and perhaps one of the greatest medical achievements witnessed in our lifetime, MannKind stands to become one of the greatest investment opportunities ever seen.

The lynchpin is competitive insurance coverage, everyone knows Afrezza is the superior insulin on the market.
Social media already has ample information on how to use and maximize the product to stabilize diabetes; so once it is affordable, the product's abilities will make it commercially dominant.
Competitive insurance coverage=
Surging sales=
Increasing stock price=
End of stock short game
The most important point is, Afrezza is THE best insulin, and that is the Trump card.
