Mike bought 15K more shares at $0.87 today. Good sign!

See Mike C. bought another wad of shares. You have to admire the man, " he has a set of "horn rimmed gonads!" Maybe he's moving to force a buyout with himself in charge!

Kudos to Mike C. That's the kind of leader I'd want in my company.
If something big was on the near horizon I feel Matt would be a little more bullish with his shares also. 25k is a lot but if I had a ton of money and knew something was about to take off, I'd scoop up more than that. If Matt jumps in with more, I might be forced to.

He likely had to break his Piggy Bank to buy these shares. Or at least go to the ATM! I bought some more options today, so I'm very glad Mike also sees some potential here, making today's price look like a bargain. He likely has another Bank or two so he can further invest if any more price erosion were to occur.

I sure wish I knew what Mike thinks he knows. He is closing in on 6 months on the job so I would think the honeymoon is over. Holding 180k shares if things were going to go south I suspect he would be unloading and looking for a new job not adding another 15k shares. It gives me hope that the greatest advance in diabetic care in 90 years and Al's legacy will be realized. I thought I had enough shares, maybe not.

For example, Mike would not be involved in any negotiations with a collaborative partner for Epi-TS but Matt certainly would. Something to consider... Just sayin'.

How does he have 180K shares, based on the 25K filing this morning, while on the previous filing the total of shares was 75K?
-----------------------------
I just looked at the previous filing in May where he got 80K shares in options trade, so the 8/16 filing was mistakenly marked as 75K instead of 155K shares in total. I answered my own question.
In any case, I like his style. It seems that he will continue to buy all the way down.... until the market changes its sentiment.
I am taking it as truth rather than a head fake.
And I will doing the same, bought more today and will continue to buy all the way down. Not many shares at a time, but will continue to buy.
If I stop believing then my whole investment idea is a sham.
I am 177K shares long

Mike C you made my day again! It's an awesome show of confidence and I too have been increasing my position in recent days along side of you. You, Matt and the team are in my prayers and I'm looking forward to seeing Al's dream become a reality thanks to your grit and determination.

I have been acquiring more MNKD because I believe in Mike's strategy and tactics - my decision has not been influenced by his purchase activity. (Icing on the cake, I guess).

prvs, these are long term options, expiring in Jan 2018, with a low strike. Obviously hoping that a turnaround occurs.

We need the other officers to step up and buy more now. If they do we'll have a real fight on our hands!

Gee, other than an intimate knowledge of the sales trends, marketing plans, rep activity, doctor and patient inquiries, partnership talks, etc. what does Mike KNOW? I don't care what anybody says, insiders simply do not buy shares on the open market without good reason. Not a ton of money, but nonetheless he has ponied up close to $40K of his personal funds. I don't see anybody doing that without a high confidence level of getting a return on the investment. Not the sort of thing you do if you see your company tanking in a few months.

Four insider buys and the stock is down 20%. How does anyone not see this as an attempt to prop the price for dilution. Mike is using his current salary increase from previous job to buy shares in hopes he can extended his employment run way with MNKD. Add some zeros to these purchases and the market will move.
Think outside the box people.

Think outside the box people. I do not get it. You say he and others in MNKD management buy the stock on the "false" premise that this is going to increase the price while you are the only guy who knows better? Is this a serious comment?
