Also, between the story shared by the SNY guy and listening to Al speak, it's evident that Afrezza is Al's baby. He is so passionate about it that he talks everywhere he goes about it- even at a gala whose purpose was meant to congratulate and thank his wife and him. He turns the topic off of himself and directs it back to Afrezza.
I can also attest to the similarity between pancreas/Afrezza PK.
I was going to upload the graph that my class put together, but it don't look the same as it did in the classroom. My teacher compressed the chart to add to email, so unfortunately, it's not of much use. But in the classroom, it looked identical to what is posted online on afrezzapro.com

And SNY and so many others were there to thank him. I hope everyone watches! What else does anyone need to know? This man will not give up! |

This makes me even more suspicious of Hakan being pushed aside though.
I can see Al barrelling through and telling him, "Get out of the way, I need to finish this before my time is up".

How can we separate our emotions from this investment and company and ultimately this wonderful entrepreneur, for me it's nothing I've ever dealt with with any other investment. Just truly inspiring and amazing. We as investors will have our day but more importantly the significant diabetic population will have better days and a better future because of this man. So many connecting dots will eventually come out and have substance, both Dexcom's Gregg and Sayer past Mini Med and Medtronic executives, Dr. Skyler former board member for Mini Med now on the board for Dexcom.

Honestly I don't like seeing pictures of Al at this age, It always stirs something in the pit of my stomach seeing his age in the flesh. MNKD is on life support and Al is like the only doctor who has even a remote chance of bringing it back to life, if he steps out, that would truly be the end of it. His speaking at least shows he's still got all his marbles, but man is he looking his age.

Yah monetpenet I have some hard feelings towards Al as a shareholder and the way he's run the company as if it's privately owned but to wish ill upon him is a pretty extreme sentiment. I wouldn't wish ill on any of them [including Hakan who I actually believe is culpable in destroying shareholder value and was completely self-serving as CEO]. At the end of the day it's only money lost, and personally I think having Al around for a few more years is in everyones best interests, especially shareholders. |

Do you know if MannKind can name *the right* CEO to supersede Al Mann and ensure the company will thrive in future Technosphere developments? Cannot spoil 15/20+ years of progress. Anyone feel free to chime in... |

trondisc actually someone mentioned it somewhere in the last few hours (couldn't find who or where it was said) but I think Dr. Shannon would be a prime candidate. Honestly I don't see how we can court many high level executives outside of the circle considering the optics of MNKD's current "situation" and the fact that we really don't have the money to pay the sort of salaries that may attract a big name. Edit: Check out this press-release for familiarity ---- investors.mannkindcorp.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=914436
