Hmm. $150 gets you Jan 2018 $1.50 Call options covering 1,000 shares. Same expiry at $1.00 would only be $220.

baba - I have been in those too but thinking about moving to a 2 strike. By then this is going to be back up to 3 to 5 or DOA. I would make more money at a 2 strike for the same cash outlay Hey, garrett, you are right, of course. However, make sure you keep in mind the possibility that things don't go great, but well enough so we get bought out for $2 in the next 16 or so months - with $2 options, you'd have nothing. Who would pay a billion for Mnkd? Plus throw in the lung safety trials on top. If you have a bidder for a billion plus the lung safety trials it makes no sense to me that they would even sell.

This is a Sunday and MC is responding with answers to questions from the little people. When have any of MNKD stock holders been treated so well ? Any long on this board knows getting any news has been almost impossible. I would say this is "transparency". I would also say we have a man that is championing our mutual cause. I do not know all of his motives, but I am glad he is working for us. Many of us invested, more than we should have in this company, because we believed in Al Mann and Afrezza. I was taught that you do not invest in a person but the company's balance sheet. Now we seem again to have a person who has invested himself, as was Al Mann his whole life. Currently within MNKD, who has had the ability to give both hope to diabetics and the stock holders that need this company to be a success? We may not get the rewards we want but we have a person that has become the face of MNKD, Michael Castagna. Matt may not have been the dynamic leader we were looking for after Al left us, but Matt as the CFO and his knowledge has quietly done a great job in changing the direction of this company. I believe he is responsible for keeping the company, albeit battered, one with still a fighting chance for great success. Go MNKD Read more: mnkd.proboards.com/conversation/2850#ixzz4IeCWEmkN

A buyout is the worse case but do you think $2 is a reasonable buyout number or was that more of an example?

Nice to see but in absolute dollar terms it's not a ton of money.

I agree it is the right way to purchase a position but the time frame is so short its starting to look a little desperate.

Buyout number would be over $10.00 or more. There is tremendous value to be unlocked if MannKind gets enough capital to market Afrezza for the next 12 months. Board of Directors know it. They won't and will not allow the company to go Bankrupt.

I bought a pile of STJ last week when it crashed because the catalyst was suspect, Mike may be thinking the same with the MNKD dip.
