Emotions will keep you from making sound decisions on just about everything. If you think the runway is to short, and there isn't enough money, or the company is going BK. Just sell! It will hurt, but the worry will be gone, and you will have some money left to help you move on.
However if your long and you know what you own, RELAX!!. Take it all in, this is the journey, this is being right when almost everyone thinks your wrong! 😁

Sound advice. But let us not confuse relaxation with contentment. I am relaxed and I'm not emotional at all, but I want MNKD to do better. I want Afrezza to sell. I want the company to be profitable and I want my investment to be green instead of a deep deep red. I'd caution the members of this board, other investors in MNKD, and all those involved in the company from falling into a sense of acceptance and contentment for the current state of affairs.
Patience is a virtue, but the company has to do better. Stay hungry. If better is possible, good is not enough.

Right now we all own a failing company on the verge of bankruptcy unless literally a miracle involving non-dilutive cash takes place. I am pulling hard for this company but as each day passes the writing on the wall starts to dry up and the reality will be extremely harsh on good people. A comment such as "take it all in, this is the journey, this is being right when almost everyone thinks your wrong" is about as naive as I've heard and is why I reply so this thread doesn't turn into more fishing expeditions with secret deals or partnerships and 15 pages of nonsense. |

Just sell then if the ink is dry! Stop trying to poison people with your negativity as you believe I am trying to do with being positive. I never said anything about partnerships or deals. I just know what I own and apparently you don't. You must have an agenda if you can't take some positive reinforcement. I guess you won't be taking time to relax then? 😁 |

Investing in the markets for financial gain is a bit more complex than "hold on". Otherwise, why get off the titanic when it was sinking since it was unsinkable in the first place? Just..."hold on" I suppose was the answer right up until it wasn't. Two years ago there were lots of reasons to hold on. Now? Maybe the hope of a successful hail mary pass finding it's target. The CC coming soon could prove to be a major event complete with surprises and one just never knows. The past is not necessarily an indicator of future events. While that's true and needs to be considered, the other side of that coin is equally true, which is - history repeats itself. Any new investors to this equity would be well served to exercise patience and avoid getting caught up in the idea that there's insider information that will make or break this company or that it's poised for a breakout for some amazing reason. Until mnkd cracks the insurance situation and gets endo's willing to prescribe in mass, mnkd is sinking bit by bit taking your investment dollars with it. If that's a process you can relax with, my hat is off to you. But being upset with others for not sharing the same point of view? That's what the ignore button is for  |

Talk about completely missing the whole point of my post. Sure are a lot of touchy people! 😉 |

I agree with davinci. How long do you hold onto optimism when there is no progress being made? I've seen it before, you wake up some morning and all of a sudden you learn your company has filed chapter 11, 7 or simply closed it's doors. There seems to be more reason for that as of late than the alternative. There has to be an influx of cash soon, how that happens is anyone's guess but the best way is to sell the product. We aren't doing that, not yet, we may but it's also possible that time may run out. From a pure investment standpoint I see no reason to be invested in this company right now. From an altruistic standpoint, there are many reasons. Additionally from a perspective of believing in the science and the good it does for patients Mannkind is a huge hit. Unless they deal with the cash situation soon it's going to be lights out. And that's the bottom line. What you have to reconcile with yourself is, will they come up with the necessary cash to continue as a going concern or will you wake up with a pale face some morning?

I'm an old man now, in my 70's. And I'm ok sharing with you the realities that I experienced throughout my life. Maybe it helps, maybe it doesn't. I've seen this process work itself out over and over and 99 out of 100 times, it works out the same way. Yes, there are the googles, the apples, and the other companies that end up the same as that amazing high school quarterback. But, typically and usually it works out the other way - a complete and utter failure. We like our success stories. Frankly, that's the side of humanity that makes life worth living. But, the reality is - most times it simply doesn't work out the way we wanted it to. When I began treating my investments as part of the "it rarely works out" crowd, I found my investment decisions producing amazing returns. Why? Because ALL stocks are crap until proven otherwise. If you believe that, then your reason for investing becomes "prove it to me" rather than making up excuses to stay in a losing stock. It's a mental framework. If your wondering what the hell am I talking about, you're simply not ready to hear what I have to say.

How about " comfortably numb" Yes, we should all relax and take a xanax. Wonder if MNKD could make it in an inhalable form? MNKD would have a large patient pool in us. No need for endos. Anybody in there?

My whole point was if your uncomfortable, sell! If you are holding, then your doing so for a reason. I'm completely comfortable holding my position and whatever that may bring. |

I'll put it in Lehmans for you..
You own MNKD stock. You see red. You see 75% drop in value. You get upset. You are upset at lack of everything, you don't want to hold any longer, you've missed other investment opportunities. You want news. You want answers. You heard there was a cash problem..You can't believe the potential for more loss is there. You thought it was a sure thing. The 2 billion invested. The science invented. The name Mannkind. Prophetic. You still see red. You still own MNKD.
You dont want to accept it. So you demand answers. You post on message boards. You gather information. You are passionate about Afrezza and MNKD. It makes a difference in peoples lives. You want to see more passion and fire from management. You dont understand why everyone is so chill. Does no one care? Is bankrupty not an issue? WHAT DOES MANAGMENT KNOW!?!
What im tryina say is MNKD is something you bought and it's making you feel a whole lot of ways. Stop bitching and own your position.
Or don't and sell. This investment owes you nothing. Don't forget that. Be smart with your money.
Me personally I am relaxed. I'd like to be more relaxed but for now i am relaxed.
I still believe in the company and the direction of the company. I look forward to the conference call as it has the capacity to shed light on much of the uncertainty surrounding MNKD. The future looks bright, let's just make it there.

OK, so this might be a bit of hopium, but Mike C. has a track record for successful launches. He's launched drugs that have huge competition in the market and succeeded. He has hired a team of experts to deal with insurance issues, spirometry issues, and titration issues. MNKD has partnered with JDRF and has appeared at multiple walks and conferences. The stock price is declining because of the cash issues, not because Mike C. and MNKD aren't making all the right moves to make this launch a success.
