If ever there was a telltale sign to call your shares back if you happen to loan them out, well, THIS IS IT FOLKS! Rarely does anyone telegraph or telegram so badly...

What if this whole postcard mailer was only meant for a few of the majority stockholders but by law had to be mailed to all stockholders. Now comes the question, why? That is a good point and maybe the reason why they are not talking to the small fries and are screening and giving their attention to the big investors. The only one that matters is the AMF. If the AMF are against it then it's dead. The institutions are almost all trackers so they don't care one way or the other as long as their holding matches their tracker. That leaves retail which is which Aegis are going after them. |

So I got my yellow cards today... Two quick questions: How did Aegis or whoever sent this cards got my address!? If the result of this card sending is a loss of value for me (be it that Aegis can force discounted shares for them or otherwise), but I hold the person who gave away this information responsible!? It seems like someones action at Mannkind could potentially cause a decrease my net share value! When I called Mannkind yesterday, the woman who answered the phone told me that Mannkind mailed out the cards to shareholders. |

For the record I have received 8 of the cards since Friday and did not want to comment until I talked to the names on the cards. No call back response from Bryan Lubitz, Senior VP or Frank Giacalone Senior VP. Something is up? Maybe no call back from them until after The shareholders meeting? Recent Developments with regard to MannKind. But they don't call you back? The card appears to have been sanctioned by MannKind Corporation? Just another mystery of our investment. Just got my 7 yellow cards in the mail yesterday. it's obvious that Aegis Capital intended for all these cards to be received before anything was announce at the shareholder's meeting. Btw, all of my cards indicate to contact a Michael Venturino, VP, Melville, NY at 877.866.4815 X336 versus your POCs of Bryan Lubitz, and Frank Giacalone, Senior VPs. Sounds like a marketing scam imo. Really don't like the appearance of all this and if MNKD management is somehow behind this, then it's utterly inappropriate and downright smells!

If they were only targeting a few, wouldn't they just pick up the phone versus a solicitation mailer? Maybe they did but were required to make the same offer to everyone. |

Can you explain in laments terms what you are saying please! Thanks I assume if they want my shares, it is probably not in MNKD and my best interests. I mean they could just BUY BUY BUY if they wanted shares, right? That would be in our interest. Therefore, they are probably up to something that I won't like, and they are trying to get shares. (Ever heard of loaning to VOTE to SCREW UP the BOARD, not that I think they'd have a chance of that?) I'd like to keep mine where I can see them. That said, if they do push for a rights offering or something good, I don't want to get caught with my pants down or my shares caught in an IOU scenario. The YELLOW CARD says it all in nature...so you get my point. 'nuff said. |

If its not good for MNKD or the share holders then what is MNKD doing in it all? |

If its not good for MNKD or the share holders then what is MNKD doing in it all? MNKD did NOT tell ME that they CONDONE anything so I don't know if they have anything to do with it. They don't generally comment on nonsense third parties do. Recently, MNKD had a vote announcement for holders of record in the near past, or very short notice, so short it might have a negative time value for those without a time machine.  I think that it was the vote for the reverse split. After that, I don't trust that they won't do something stupid WRT a rights offering that screws me in the fine print. Holding the shares where I can see them protects me against most shenanigans. MNKD CFO, now CEO, had effectively warned shareholders about loaning shares if they do not wish to participate in the BIG SHORT... Just my opinion. Good luck! |

Probably the right idea. Look at how Aegis operated in the stock ORMP. Recommended it then came with a secondary at 1/2 of the stock price high. Much, Much lower now.

And they have totally gone back on their promise of transparency. |

There's a stock [ORMP] that I'd love to sell short IF it ever gets to MNKD's peak. There's no way it ever beats Afrezza in efficacy, and lots of insulin to swallow for any efficacy. That said, it's an interesting idea, but now switching gears for a combo insulin+GLP-1 (because it might hide the fact that the swallowed insulin did not work well, or rather, it worked so well they took it to a partner in "China"...) Anyway, I wish it worked better (for PWD benefit), but I think if it did, Technosphere would have even more, not that MNKD pursued it hard after all so that's telling... I still maintain that oral [pill] insulin is going to be HUGE, but not for prandial, rather basal. Technosphere probably does the trick -- certainly with other implants and/or nanotechnology. Think about what Medallion is trying to do with the AMF. Well, so be it AFTER AFREZZA takes the prandial market by storm, God willing. A storm is coming... |

As of today, I'm officially a member of the Yellow Card Club! Yeah!!!!   So my question is this "How many retail shareholders and number of shares held by them are really out there?" Must be a lot for them to go to the trouble sending out those cards and talking people into transferring their shares over to them. Also, if they ever get any shares, will they loan them out?!?!?!? My guess would be yes and one of the reasons for them to handle your shares. From speaking to a few other shareholders they seem to want to know how many shares you have & what average price. |

BTW, I did receive 2 yellow cards ... I didn't see them because my family thought they were just flyers/trash. Okay, now the mystery is solved. But, why did I just receive 2 cards when kc got enough to use for toilet paper?
