I think Afrezza is going to brake and run. Jeez, Sports, careful with the typos. Clearly the brakes are already on. Let's hope they BREAK out and run. :-) |

Jeez, Sports, careful with the typos. Clearly the brakes are already on. Let's hope they BREAK out and run. :-) No kidding:-) Sorry monger:-(. Where you been? Trying really hard not to think about this much. :-) Lurking from time to time and giving a thumbs up to clever and amusing posts. Also, that may have been the sum total of what I can add to this board, fixing one small typo! I'm still holding and probably will until it either goes back up significantly or crashes entirely, but I have completely changed the way I gamble, I mean, invest after this whole MNKD experience. MNKD pretty much demonstrated that despite many hours of research and careful analysis, including here and elsewhere, that I still apparently had no idea what I was doing. Now I just skip any research at all and throw darts! OK, just kidding, but barely. I can tell you I'm using stops more now than I did when I bought into this, for everything. And if I get stopped out, I figure that's OK, even if something goes back up later. I'm no longer willing to take any significant losses on any stocks. I do recall hearing that the first rule is to not lose money, but apparently I skipped class that day. Not sure why I didn't understand that strategy in the first place. I thought I understood MNKD so well that it wasn't necessary, and I just rode it down and down. I guess I was pretty hard to convince that things would get worse. Stubborn, maybe. Intractable. Recalcitrant, standing fast in the face of disastrous portfolio moves! Totally fearless. Five foot hole in the hull and water gushing in? Full speed ahead! Now I STILL don't think the price is going to decline significantly and in fact will go up, but I'm not buying any more, either! The market has finally beaten that out of me, but it was a hard fight. I got some shares at 75 cents, and that's probably the only bright spot in all this, assuming it eventually goes up. Otherwise, it was just more foolish gamb..., er investing. Also, I thought maybe I should concentrate on earning more money since so much was dribbling (or gushing maybe) out of my portfolio thanks to MNKD and my Panglossian attitude about its prospects! LOL! This has been a very humbling experience, for sure. I'm also starting to wonder if hanging around this board isn't like an alcoholic hanging around bars, thinking maybe things will be different! LOL. And no, I don't like the bashers, soft or otherwise, who insinuate that everyone is brainwashed. Their writing is so bad for the most part, that even if they sometimes get it right, so what? I guess what amazes me is the quantity of good quality data turned up here, week after week, and the great analyses, and yet all that has led to the really bad results that most of us have gotten, at least so far. I'm still optimistic about the turnaround, but since I've been consistently wrong in the past, I won't be surprised if something dire happens, either. Regardless, mentally I've written the entire investment off to, er, experience, and if something good happens, that will be fantastic. I still check in to see if there's a new theory I like, kind of like a new show coming on TV. I hate to say that this stock has gotten to the point of entertainment, but that's kind of what's happened for me. It's like when you see a show about a snake eating a pig or something, and you think, what the heck am I doing watching this show? This is gross! And yet, and yet you keep on watching. Maybe the pig will chew his way out of the snake and REALLY gross everyone out. But I can live with that in this case! So, kudos to all the smart folks here making regular contributions and keeping the faith! Pass the Kool-Aid! :-) |

Yes. You just summed up where I am on this investment. Kind of a bummer after even having a brother-in-law who worked for Mannkind in Afrezzas' development.
And I am a user of Afrezza who has had fantastic results! Just wonderful, which is the real kicker in not seeing Afrezzas' pps go way up.
Oh well, there are two of us that have had the same feeling. I guess that misery loves company.

Anthony welcome to the board. How long have you been using Afrezza. How did you find out about the product? What area of the country do you live in. Glad to have you on this board but if your results are really great you should blog about it on another board or two. Perhaps if you're on Facebook you should tell your friends about Afrezza. The best way for more people to learn about this great drug is to take it viral. With the re-launch underway I bet we see a lot of activity the next couple of months with great momentum.
Best of health to you.

Haven't lost anything until I sell. Hey, Warren B., shouldn't you be doing something other than checking out this little stock's page?

PROS AND CONS
It can be argued that institutional ownership is either a good thing or a bad thing. William O’Neil, founder of the research firm, Investor’s Business Daily, argues that institutional investors make up the single largest of stocks demand, providing the push needed to drive the price of a stock upward. O’Neil argues that when a stock has no institutional owners, it is because they have researched and ultimately passed on it. He earmarks institutional ownership as one of the six characteristics to look for in a stock that investors would want to buy in his book “How to Make Money in Stocks”.
Peter Lynch, however, describes in his best-selling book, “One Up on Wall Street” the thirteen characteristics of what he describes as “the perfect stock.” Regarding institutional ownership, he is quoted as saying “Institutions don’t own it and the analysts don’t follow it”. He prefers stocks that the big investment groups pass on because these stocks are more likely to be undervalued.
Both investing giants agree that institutional ownership can be dangerous because these companies maneuver in and out of financial markets in large blocks, meaning if something bad happens, the stock’s value will plummet if sold.

I can partially agree with that, but I think the next step is calculating how much those investments are compared to the size of their portfolio. If I have 10 billion I am investing in the market but only a 100k goes to that position you need to realize its the same thing as someone with a 100k investing a $1000 in a stock. To us it might be big bucks but to them its the same thing as our $1000 investment.
