It tells me that Hakan is probably very efficient at most other aspects of his job, just not the kind of guy you want explaining stuff away. And Stevil, please do not Like my posts. I have nothing buy contempt for your opinions. Noted. And won't do that again. Not sure why you feel so strongly about it. Feel free to call out anything I've said that hasn't been at least in the general vicinity of the right direction. Don't take your anger out on me because my opinions have been negative but correct. I guess I'll add more gasoline to the fire and say you and patryn are some of the posters I most look forward to reading. It's not the info or the perspective or learning anything that matters, it only matters if you sound like adam or some other boogeyman. That's more important

Yeah no kidding. Congratulations Matt and Hakan. Will you accept a $1 salary like the Lilly CEO did when it's stock was in the dumpster? Something to think about. Wow. Just amazing at how over a billion of market cap can evaporate. Actually more than that, all in just a few months. Come on guys. Seriously, if you don't want to do the job or can't do it, just let somebody else do it. It's a free country. Freer for some than others, of course. My fear is they cannot afford to pay the right people (people with proven resumes) their asking price to run this company. So we're either stuck with what we've got or we pick someone with a lot of potential that may not have a lot of experience and hope for the best. Actually, I've said it before, and will say it again, why don't they just talk to SEC and hire a securities lawyer to stop the shenanigans? Hakan himself said that mgmt knows "how to have a conversation with SEC" -- come on, ILLEGAL NAKED SHORTING has repeatedly been reported on the SHO list, completely manipulative. MGMT needs assertiveness .... for a very long time now. Maybe they're buddies with GS, who knows? Well, then they're not working for shareholders like the rest of us. Share price performance is predictably very poor, this breeds hit pieces. Hit pieces clog the internet with scary stuff for docs and patients. This is NOT rocket science.

Excuse me but you state that your neg opinions have been correct? How can you state that? This is far from over and conclusions are yet to be drawn, but if you feel otherwise that your neg opinions are now fact, well I guess that's just another opinion of yours.

So we're either stuck with what we've got or we pick someone with a lot of potential that may not have a lot of experience and hope for the best. If I am not mistaken, Hakan and Matt both earn in excess of $1m/year. I dont think that the ability to compensate is the problem. I want to believe that Al knows best for this company, but Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb have taken one of the greatest medicinal breakthroughs of our lifetime and let it rot under Sanofi`s excellent leadership(pun intended). I am further SO sick and tired of these two deflecting questions with the phrase, "Oh that`s Sanofi`s responsibility." or "You have to ask them." HEY GOMERS, it`s your company`s f-ing drug, take some responsibility!!! You have now restocked the coffers for another year. You could have gotten twice as much less than 3 months ago, but you decided to let the share prices erode. So, lets do something meaningful. IMO, put all focus on Afrezza, make it the blockbuster it is supposed to be! Massive sales, multiple countries, earnings without dilution. If SNY`s is sandbagging us, we find someone else willing to push this wonderful drug. I can guarantee you with the base that has been created through efforts not associated with Sanofi, specifically; Afrezzauser, Matt B., Eric, Spiro, etc: we have a WINNER!

Agree with all the above posts. Improving communication skills might help improve the theatrics with the Wall Street scum, but little in regards to getting AFZ into our clinics and medical centers.
I would add that SNY has not helped, in fact, thus far, have dropped the ball. The essential absence of DTC advertising, unless you want to throw in a couple of cheap mag adds, is unacceptable. The lack of enthusiasm and embracement by SNY mgt on their CCs is unacceptable. Maybe SNY is conflicted and are worried that AFZ will decrease insulin resistance and erode into their basal insulin mkt even more.
To not aggressively advertise to the public because insurance not in place, if this is SNY's reason, is flawed. This is an entirely different paradigm in Diabetes Tx that requires a 'massive effort' now. For a company the size of SNY, I find their effort thus far pathetic in regards to educating both patients and physicians. I would say Afrezzauser has done more to impact sales than SNY.
The patient comes first. This should be SNY's mantra. Doctors are overwhelmed with increasing bureaucracy, paper work, litigation fears, etc... My argument is the physicians, PAs, diabetic educators 'need to be surprised' by patient driven demand and interest. This would force those in the position to order AFZ to learn and understand this new therapy.
Wish Al Mann would speak again to us LT shareholders. We need a gutsy American to remind us why we're here.

This is far from over and conclusions are yet to be drawn, but if you feel otherwise that your neg opinions are now fact, well I guess that's just another opinion of yours. Thank you for your reply, Denise. My negative opinions have been validated by the share price. I call it like I see it. When things start getting better, I'll have better things to say and analyze. If you want to go back to one of my first posts in June, I was one of the first people on here to say that this will take a long time. I was one of the first to say that commercials wouldn't come out until a label change. I got slammed for it back then. Now it seems like popular opinion. It's hard to go back and see that because there are so many posts between now and then, but I remember distinctly the first few posts I had on here. I don't want to come across as a know-it-all, although I know that's a weakness of me and my writing style. I have money invested in this company like the rest of you all. I want it to succeed. I'm in medical school and sacrificing years and HUGE dollars for the betterment of people's lives through medicine. It's what drew me to Afrezza in the first place. But once I saw the cult following and the culture on this board, I guess you could say that it was partially my mission to help objectify the board. This board and Afrezza have become as much of people's daily lives as food, work, and family. They're attached to it. Perhaps it was improper of me to worry about the well-being of a stranger and their financial well-being, but I wanted to help shed more light on what I believe the truth of the matter is regarding Afrezza. I've been on break the last week so I had more time to post, but I see that I'm not popular around here. Fortunately, winter quarter is pretty demanding so I'll be lurking more than posting

What's the point of going all in on the DTC if there's roadblocks in the way? Do you have any idea how hard it still is to get an Afrezza script? Until Tier 2 is fully achieved, and these script delay problems are resolved, you're not going to see a full blown entry into the market, (DTC), by Sanofi.

These guys did a great technical job, did great job with regulators, great jobs with patents, but then came Sanofi and all of this QUIET period about what we do not know. If this were a Silicon Valley Co. it would be worth multiples of ten billion. That's all I have to say.

Go back and read my first few posts. I actually said all that you said now too. I was a pharmacy tech for 8 years. I understand the physician/insurance/patient dynamic maybe better than anyone on here. It's why I was so adamant about tempering people's expectations...

pktrumpAgreed on the advertising. For God's sake Viagra is covered by insurance - I wonder how hard that was to get on insurance formularies (no pun intended). Last time I checked not keeping an erection is probably less important than controlling a life threatening disease. I agree that MNKD needs to get tough and smack SNY around a bit. But then again perhaps they negotiated away their leverage.

Thank you for replying Stevil. No one here dislikes you, or at least I don't. How can someone who holds 25K shares, get so down on the company? You stated that you're underwater on this. Why do you try to bring it down further then? You're in med school, yet put a substantial amount of cash into MNKD, now struggling as a result, but you still post neg on it? Makes no sense to me, but whatever. Aloha.

But then again perhaps they negotiated away their leverage. slugworth008 , The last thing that anyone here needs to be doing is making anything that could conceivably regarded as making an excuse for mgmt, that means Matt, Hakan, even Al... seriously, the only bad press this company gets is about it's survival prospects, poor sales, finances -- No, Al, it's not just about the patient. If Sanofi does not do it's job and MNKD did not negotiate properly, there won't be any company to provide product for the patient. Time to back up and look at the status quo... this is 2015 and Sanofi is loaded with products that it puts ahead of Afrezza, Al, with all due respect to all of your lifetime achievements. I just get this "Keystone Cops" feeling over and over...

Please let us know when you start using Afrezza and how it is working out for you. God knows MNKD can use all the new patients it can get now.
