Nice to know everyone is writing eulogies to to the dearly departed. I suspect there are many more chapters to the MNKD story, and Wall St. corruption is not the thing keeping MNKD down. Execute on the sales and marketing initiative for Afrezza and everything else becomes minor. No eulogies, yet. But dismal for sure. We're in the hospital, at the moment, needing to be nursed back to health. My argument is that there are barriers that should not be there that could likely be the cause for not increasing marketing and, thus, sales. Let me explain just one point. It's possible that Afrezza isn't selling because docs don't want to go through the hassle of spirometry. That's not really what I meant by WS corruption. But it's a restriction that shouldn't exist. People have been inhaling medications for years, and far worse chemicals than an inert substance that has shown near 100% clearance. In other words, it's as though that particle never entered your system. Coal plants and pollution from our automobiles are infinitely more harmful to our lungs than these particles. Yet no one cares about restricting those because there is big money behind both. So no, I'm not talking about hedge funds or market manipulators when I talk about corruption. Maybe I shouldn't have stated it being WS. My point is that there seem to be unnecessary roadblocks prohibiting the success of Afrezza. I'm now concerned those same roadblocks may apply to all future TS applications. Those roadblocks are farther "upstream" in the marketing process. Meaning, if doctors don't want to bother with the hassles of prescribing, why advertise for it? It'd be a waste of money. To DBC's point, I do not know anything specifically about that scenario as it pertains to Afrezza. I do know that it is true- there are drugs with "preferred" status, but that would not limit the complete coverage of Afrezza. It would just be in a different tier. Whether that is happening or not to us, I do not know. But like I said, it would not stop Afrezza from being covered altogether. |

"I'm in denial" about long-term success and will sell the moment this stock spikes between $5-7. I am *NOT* taking any chances since I think bio-pharma is colluding against MannKind & suppressing Afrezza's chances of success. This stock will stay stuck in the 2's until 2016. Type 1 & Type 2 diabetics deserve to try the game changer Afrezza and have a normal life on-the-go. It's a damn shame Sanofi is pushing everything else in their diabetes portfolio except the superior product above them all...Afrezza. I'm long & pissed and will exit immediately if this ever crosses $5-7. *SIGH*

trondisc if we make it to $5-7 from where we are currently, that will have meant Afrezza has either succeeded or is making great strides and MNKD will have survived and will be thriving. Barring those two circumstances we simply will not see $5-7 again so I can't say I understand your thinking here. Edit: I guess my point is, if we make it out of this "death spiral", MNKD will have won and we will hit $5-7-10-14-20... and so on down the road. I truly believe it is now an all or nothing game.

trondiscThat is EXACTLY what the short interest wants to do (among other things) is have longs so beaten down that they sell at 5-7/8. When we get to 5-7/8 They'll be buying because they know there is tremendous upside...and they have the funds to wait us out. I'm hanging in there - I think we'll win. Don't think for a minute that Hakan and Al don't know what their portfolio's look like.....or what they could look like. JMHO

I'm not in denial I'm pathological in my belief in the product. It's just going to take time Need a choice to reflect I'm right and will be proved so eventually  |

Daddy, why aren't we having turkey this thanksgiving? Little Timmy is going to have a sad Christmas because of recent events. I can only imagine Al is going to be playing Scrooge over at HQ this Christmas, Matt is not going to be allowed home for Christmas dinner. |
