also the doctor needs to fill the prior authorization form, everything is setting up to block afrezza to reach the market . usually the doctor doesn't want spend times too much on a new drug if he can use the old drug without going through the hassles .. their time is money so ... That's what they have medical assistants for  you know these days, the doctors, they only need money, only care about money , money first, patients second ... if they can have an easy solution or and they will not lose their license (because of warning labels, even is not true ) , they don't want to risk anything . |

That's what they have medical assistants for Exactly! The Medical Assistant simply lets Mannkind cares handle insurance and titration issues once doc prescribes. It's really quite easy and simple for the endo. Yes, endos need to be educated so they understand the drug better. This is happening now. Drug dinners. Scripts will improve in my opinion, we just need cash to extend runway and dtc marketing... |

You have got to be kidding me!!! That is not the way I practice, and not the way most of my colleagues practice. It really is not fair for you to make an over generalization such as you have without some facts. |

Not true. They need scientific data and education so they understand the drug better. Still most docs don't understand how the dosing and titration works. |

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? Take a xanax and fall asleep at the wheel.....lol |

It's easy to come to that conclusion when docs move you in and out in 15 minutes, prescription pad in hand while talking. But I doubt it's what the docs want to do but rather what they have to do to exist in the field. I've known two physicians on a personal level over the last 10 years quit their chosen fields due to working conditions (insurance, cost of doing business, etc). |

Most holding now because their position is worth pretty much nothing. Might as well lose whatever little left vs. the slight chance something might come through. Those that use the argument "if you don't like how things are going just sell and move on" need to shutup.You know, if you guys/girls (and there are a great many on this board) who were moaning and whining this same way 18 months ago had listened to us then to sell and move on, you would have been out of this stock at +/- $4.50. So, no, we don't need to shut up. It's not our fault you didn't take our advice back then. Look, either you think there's an opportunity here or you don't. If you don't, then I agree that maybe it might make sense, based upon your financial position, to ride this to the end and take the capital loss against any gains you have. But if that is the case (that you don't think there's a chance in heck this stock will recover), why in the hell are you here moaning and whining? What is your purpose here, if your assumption is that this is dead in the water?! For what purpose do you continuously post? To "help" everyone? GMAFB |

In the spirit of objectivity and neutrality, I'd opine that it's not anyone's place to tell people to sell and move on, nor is it their place to tell people to buy and go long, nor to trade. I think those are all personal decisions that will change based on individual circumstances, risk tolerance and financial situation.
I also agree that whining and/or bashing doesn't help, but neither does pumping and blindly supporting or excusing MNKD for obvious mistakes that have led to where we are. Both exist on this board and in my opinion, both offer little to nothing to further genuine discussion of MNKD's issues or ways to address them.
I retain optimism to some extent that MNKD can actually make this work, although the reality is that to achieve that will require the better part of a miracle at this point. I've held for many years and yes, I'm one of those among us that wishes more than anything that I had sold when the stock was at a higher share price to avoid being so increidbly upside down in my investment. I didn't, and I'm holding because to me, selling for a measly 10% of what I put in just isn't worth it. I'd wager there are others who probably feel the same.
I don't think anyone is happy with how things are going and if you are, you should probably have your head checked. I don't need hopium, nor do I need a doomsayer. I understand the situation. In the immortal words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"

I am neither happy nor unhappy - I am as impatient as the average person and as patient as the rest - but my convictions are the same as when I first invested nearly two years ago - like many though I may have hoped, I never expected this self funded FDA approved insulin and transformational appilcation to rocket up as the narrative remains hijacked, and the scripts remain low, the culture remains apathetic, but the science remains viable - today the assets have been repriced but still retain the same intrinsic value and I would continue to prudently attest based on the singular qualitative facets of TS that if the company were hypothetically forced into bankruptcy, their would likely be more than one bidder or stalking horse - any future valuation of this ip will take into account it's efficasy - chapt11 is a mkt like any other and unless this ends like Stienbeck's rendition this is grossly undervalued and worth at a minimum 8x current debt.
That would leave share holders including Claude and company roughly 1.2 billion.

You're so correct Prvs! Great post and I agree with you 100%. And, MNKD will find a way to extend that cash runway going into 2017. This is one tough little company that Will & Can! Take it to the bank. Aloha.

I think those are all personal decisions that will change based on individual circumstances, risk tolerance and financial situation. The only reason anyone here has told another poster to sell and move on is because that poster in numerous posts has made it clear that they believe wholeheartedly that MNKD is dead money with no future and those posters still continue to cast negativity with post after post. The one question that none of these posters have ever answered is (and they've been given numerous opportunities), if you believe that MNKD is dead in the water with no future, then for what purposes do you continue to post here? Crickets! Until I see a believable answer to that question, I feel no compunction to not tell these posters whatever I believe. |

And on the flip side to this the posters that continue to post that absolutely nothing is wrong hang onto your shares things are only going to get better need to check themselves as well. I find it comical that the poster who started this thread pleading for everyone to relax at the beginning of the week is nowhere to be found. Share price down 21% since Monday and script numbers posted today were extremely alarming but hey everyone relax nothing to be worried about...... |
