It's actually all about the science more than the sales. If it were all about the sales or about stock trading, myself and countless other longs would have left long ago seeing the poor sales numbers. But, Afrezza significantly improves the quality of life for people with the world's #1 disease. Therefore, we will hold our shares until sales catches up with the science. It is going to happen and hopefully with MNKD. This perspective has nothing to do with emotion or empathy. This has everything to do with the amazing science and owning stock in the greatest paradigm shifting drug in modern day medicine. The risk is obvious. The reward will most likely be historic. Godspeed to Matt and Mike.

Well said, Slugworth! And nice to see another person with OR connections on this board. I have a brother in PDX and I went to High School in West Linn, where they obviously didn't teach me much about risk taking.  I share your sentiments and sense of hope! It's gotten so that I hate to have conversations with my Scottrade and Fidelity reps because they know how far underwater I am with this position and I imagine them thinking that they are speaking with an idiot, especially given my penchant for acquiring more shares at this level. Time will tell if they are right, but in the meantime, I'm in it for the long haul (think years!). I believe Pfeffer and Castagna are giving us as good a shot as any investor could expect. I stand beside you in saluting loyal longs on this board. Chris C Thanks Chris. I went to Aloha High and they didn't teach me much about risk-taking either. LOL I've been in Atlanta for the past 23 years and am looking forward to going home. |

Fellow MNKD longs - It's been a painful and educational journey. This is an investment that should have paid off long ago. The future is uncertain but hopeful - IMO. I have a shitload invested in this company and completely believe in the product for a variety of reasons. I'll spare ya'll on my edification of such at this time. My hope is that by May 1 2017 we are in a far, far better place. This is for personal reasons. I am opening this thread to simply say I am grateful to the many honest MNKD longs on this board. I have taken solace from your insight and wisdom and this has buoyed my spirit with this investment. I am moving back to PDX in Sept - And God willing my investment in this life changing drug will bear fruit. I cannot bear the thought of failure for a drug that is obviously so superior and helpful to the diabetic community. I have written congressmen/woman and anyone else of note with regards to the bullshit that has been taking place with Afrezza. JMHFO. All longs have a great weekend and thank you for all of the info you post here. Liane, thank you for moderating this unruly bunch - LMFAO I am holding and holding and adding and adding - WTF!!! Peace out! Right on Slugworth, I appreciate your passion for the many Mnkd investors you have corresponded with over the years. Even though most of us have never met, I feel like I've known you all for years, nothing wrong with that IMO. I invest to make money also, buy the dips and take the profits. I've made more on Mnkd since it dropped under a buck then most other stocks, just trading around my original position. Afrezza is a product I strongly believe in, and even though we have a very tough road ahead of us, I'll be in till the end. I don't post as much as I used to, but still a Mnkd Bull, and I'm "ready to rocK" good luck sluggo Thanks Rock. And good advice on trading around a core position. I added more at 1.40 a few months ago and should have sold those shares @2.15 but alas I thought we'd have had more legs. Lesson learned. Oh well, I guess my core position is just larger now - lol. Best of luck to you as well. |

Take a step back. Lane Powell is affiliated with MannKind via Wesner (and Jagla) and also the firm being the Agent. LP consists of well over 200 attorneys encompassing several states. Oh yeah, and Wesner is pro bono for Paul Allen's Museum and the museum's accountant is also RLS. Think big, because that is what it will take to comprehend the magnitude, IMO.

"Ignore" button? Is there one?
davinci, why would a fellow who behaves as you, or behaves as you say you behave, expect empathy? Most of the rest of us are emotional investors, especially with MNKD, so you should expect zero empathy from those of "delicate nature," and that is why you received little, if any.
Are you suggesting you're as bright as Feuerstein based on your cautionary calls on MNKD? Are you happy to be like him in that respect?
I can visit dozens and dozens of biotech boards and make predictions of difficult times, etc., and be right easily 75% of the time. And then disappear if I'm wrong, but rub it in if I'm right!
Also, "At the point I put my "faith" into an investment, however, is the point where I've exhausted all available information, where I've teased all possible outcomes, and ultimately answering the question I always have to ask myself - is this company worth my hard earned money?!"
C'mon, davinci, sounds really good when written, but no one does all that with every investment or maybe any investment, and if they do, then they still may be wrong. I've forgotten, were you always short this stock? Or were you long, sold at $11 and then shorted? Tell us, I'm sure many are on the edge of their seats waiting to hear how much money you're making on MNKD and those other fully researched positions. Unfortunately, we can only look with envy and awe, cuz we can't be as objective and thorough as you, and even if we could be as thorough, or hearts would not let our minds act rationally. Such a curse!! Can't you spare us the pain of not being like you?
Sorry, davinci, not in the mood for your pontification, I'd rather go with mine.

Also, "At the point I put my "faith" into an investment, however, is the point where I've exhausted all available information, where I've teased all possible outcomes, and ultimately answering the question I always have to ask myself - is this company worth my hard earned money?!" , I am just now catching up on this thread and had planned to comment on the same exact thing! Does this joker really understand what it means to, "tease [out] all possible outcomes," even limiting those outcomes to events only a single order away from impact on MNKD (let alone the potential impact of almost an infinite order of events that could be shown mathematically to influence the success/failure of an investment in MNKD)?! If we're being purely analytical here, as I gather only @davinci can, and we need to tease out "all possible outcomes" before an investment decision, then I'd be interested in hearing how his methodology incorporates quantum mechanics, chaos and game theory (which, BTW, can apply emotion to torpedo the success of even the most detailed analyses of those not using game theory). I call BS (but I guess you - and most others - already figured that out). |
