Amazing how shareholders were calling for matts head on a platter just a short time ago. Now there's some type of international deal and small bump of scripts and wha la voila. TIFIFY. Sorry, not really a grammar/spelling nazi, but I want to help people understand how this word pronounced "vwäˈlä" is actually spelled - Voila! [There! Here it Is! Ta Da! There it Is!] Now back to our regularly scheduled program... For the time being I think quel dommage is the more appropriate expression for use with MNKD investing. Come Friday I hope I'm inspired to say pas mal regarding scripts rather than quel dommage. Perhaps I shall just shrug my shoulders and say pffft.

I’m surprised that no one has discussed the opportunity to buy some cheap insurance at these prices. I actually have a few hundred shares that I bought at $13. I averaged down, and down and down. I stopped buying under a buck and the R/S split happened. I’m down Big! But recently I started buying again because just a few thousand shares now at these prices “ Could” make all the difference. I’m finished buying and I’m clearly willing to prove the theory that Hope springs eternal. When I started reading your post I thought you were going to suggest purchasing some puts on the up days. I've never heard of doubling down as an exercise in risk reduction, but that just goes to show that there are different subjective ways to characterize actions.

I did post about $10,000 now, would be insurance against a cheap BO. I don't think that's going to happen. But it was my worst fear. Now I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel:-)

Now I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel:-) That is certainly a fly in the ointment, but trying to predict what "cheap" price that could occur at would seem impossible. Quite frankly I'd sooner see a bankruptcy reorg and an opportunity to then invest new capital than to see MNKD BO at these prices. Only way a BO would likely be at all good at this point is the outside chance more than one bidder might get interested, but that seems a long shot at the moment. I too see some light at the end of the tunnel... just getting very nervous about how little coal is left in the bunker. If only we were on a downhill grade.

This stock still has a tremendous amount of risk. Averaging down only works if the stock price recovers to some degree. I won't buy more until prescriptions show a steady climb and the share price is at least $3-4. it'll behoove ya to take care of your uvula. snl 1978

Personally never thought B/O was in the cards and with Mike talking about in the next 18 mos. and what we can expect in 3-5 years.. I think it's quite clear that B/O isn't even near being in the works!!!!

Amazing how shareholders were calling for matts head on a platter just a short time ago. Now there's some type of international deal and small bump of scripts and wha la. No "wha la" from me, not yet anyway. Can we get two weeks in a row with higher prescription numbers? Would that be too much to ask? I'll never forget the yellow card fiasco. Will the rumor of the international deal really happen? If that pans out for even $25M of revenue in 2Q, then I'll give you a "wha la".

My issue is simply what does the MannKind CEO mean when he says "short term" or "near term". Does that mean a few weeks? A few months? The first two years of a five-year plan?

Afrezza on a cargo ship going somewhere? No that would seem implausible. $25M up front if they get approved in the country they have filed in and sign a distribution deal for that country/region? Seems they aren't in a great negotiating position for upfront money and that would likely be quite a bit for deals in that region.

I reduced the $100m cargo shipment down to $25m to make it somewhat plausible.
