Penny for your thoughts ( wisdom)

Since this board is rather quiet rt now (I should be relieved but this stock has become a bit of an obsession & is my only investment , so I can't help it I'm holding long & strong , in fact I got my 65 year old mom to open a ST account & am her " authorized investor "LOL !! B/c she wants some MK stock I thought this might be a good time to ask a question , wth is OPC11 /Oppie ?? Please pardon my naïveté I believe he is admin on MK Central & is obviously active on YMB, I only go there when it's quiet here , is he a jaded Long or is he Short? While I'm at it what about Kevinmik on YMB ? Is he so invested that the stress is getting to him ( he seems to have some good posts ) or does he have ulterior motives ? I have a pretty good radar ( or at least I think I do ./) but those 2 throw me off . Anyways , I respect & believe you all have honest intentions here & thought maybe you could help clarify . YMB is a riot ! Just reading some of the poster names cracks me up but I do see some great posts there , Matese 16 went above & beyond as you guys & gals do too so while I'm at it I'll thank him incase he peruses here :)sorry for the ramble ! Patience is not my virtue ,)

Shoot I'm not good at this ! I forgot to say Thank You to you all as well !! You have taught me so much !! Without this board I would never have done this !! I've done my DD so I'm holding no one accountable for my choices but myself . But you all are fantastic ! You all help more here than you will ever know GLTA!

Unfortunately, Lynn, a little more patience is necessary. You're right, it's pretty dead now, and the share price moves are fairly meaningless, notwithstanding their size.

OPC is someone that just can't stand to be wrong, and like most people, he often is - you cannot convince him he's wrong ("corrections welcome" what a joke that was/is), and he becomes quite nasty if you engage him. I wouldn't waste a bit of time on those other boards, unless you look only for specific posters and no one else, or if you just can't get enough of it!! I would understand that, since you're new, but as someone who's been around boards since 1998 or so, I just have no time for that crap. If there's a real good post on YMB, someone here generally will note it.

We're in good shape, we should get the FDA approval (you know enough by now to know that nothing is certain), and someday, either before or after approval, a partnership. In connection with the approval itself, labeling will be an issue, and undoubtedly we will have to conduct post-approval trials, but I like where we sit, especially compared to anyone who remains short (I think there are still one or two, LOL). Upon approval, shorts will have a little less ammo left, but will harp on the no-partnership status, if indeed that is the status at that time, and, labeling restrictions, and Exubera comparisons, etc.

A post approval buyout of either Afrezza or the whole shooting match would be great, cuz I'm sure Al won't sell any cheaper than he has too, after all, what cushy job can the acquirer offer Al at this point in that legend's life? The nice part of a buyout will be we won't have to make the decision as to whether or when to sell - that is one tough decision, especially for you, since for now, MNKD is you're only stock!

Should be watching hockey game, but only one team seems to have showed up tonight.

I wanted to talk myself out of responding here, but I had to. Opc is not a short, nor would I call him a jaded long. He is 100% on our side of the trade, and the weirdos at yahoo would only have you thinking the other way. It's kind of creepy the way some of the posters almost stalk him over there. Anyway, call me what you will, but I think opc is absolutely awesome in his mnkd analysis and information. You can't always have the blind rah rah go mnkd go attitude or you could get burned. In my opinion you have to look at things for what they are and I respect and thank him for it. I don't always agree with his opinions but will always love to hear them.
Anyway, enough of my love fest... My hockey game last night went down the tubes real fast. 4 minute double minor for a super rookie and the ship sinks. Whatever....

mrhaigs - I completely agree w/ you re: opc, but must add that his positive contributions are at times overshadowed by his abrasive personality.  Just look at the way he rides AU.

I'm going to make a judgment call here and lock this thread. I'm gratified to see that everyone has essentially taken the high road on this question, and I'd like to end things on that high note, before potentially less charitable opinions begin to fly...
