iPhone, One Drop, Middle East country, Daman, Amgen, 10.5 ton shipment quote request to Abu Dhabi (if legit), Apple hires 200 PHDs to focus on real-time glucose monitoring...this is one fascinating puzzle and no one even knows if we're even playing with the right pieces. GLTA

GLTA One Drop is great - but the rest, are we even remotely involved...fact..fiction.. ? - Who really friggen knows that's the special part. I really hope a deal or something seriously meaningful comes out of this SH meeting, it needs to - But I am not holding my breath.

You would think if there is some good news it would be announced at the ASM. Boy we could sure use good news & not the usual forward looking comments, hopes etc..... Time for Afrezza to take off!

Has there ever been a Major announcement at the ASM? Not that I can recall. Why, yes, there is always a potential SOMETHING big COULD be announced the likelihood of that is remote.
All this hope of Amgen, Apple, Abu Dabi etc. is laughable. What we need is for mannkind to sell itself (and it would be for relative pennies ) and hand over the effort to an experienced pharma co. as we have no money to make this attempt. It was an arrogant try but hasn't worked. How can over 100 reps, nurse educators who have now been trying since January only, collectively, sell 1 prescription a week? You know someone is those 100 or so is actually successfully selling Afrezza due to amicable docs etc. What are the rest of them doing?
Hope springs eternal but the share price/market cap is telling you otherwise.

If there is a major announcement, it would have to appear 1st as a PR, say on the morning of the meeting. That happened to me 6 years ago, going to the Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR) ASM meeting. At 6:30 AM, a PR announcing a deal with Starbucks.

i highly doubt they announce anything negative prior to the shareholders meeting then open up the door to a bunch of angry investors. If there is an announcement it will be a positive one.

I am repeating myself on this. I used to work for a small but public company. We always pre-announce if the news was the opposite direction of the earnings. Good news will be announced after good earnings, bad news were announced WITH bad earnings. If this pattern holds, then OneDrop was our pre-announcement, there isn't any more good news, and earnings will be not good.

You may have been under a rock so i'm not sure if you heard, but earnings call already happened.

I would be really happy if these dots connected to something that shoots the stock price up. That said, I, and I think many others, have been burned trying to connect dots in the past. Each of the dots also seem to have logical explanations that don't point to any back room dealings that will benefit MNKD.

Agree DG1111. So many speculate google, medtronic, RLS, Paul Allen, Apple, IBM, Dexcom, etc. etc. So much hope put in pain, cancer and the 8 other "targets". Yet, here we are years later. Nothing and nothing w/ Afrezza after 3 sales forces attempts (Sanofi, Contract, Now in-house). Do we need deep pockets ..YES! but mannkind's arrogance and go it alone strategy has absolutely backfired. We have NO negotiating leverage at this time and no capital. While I'm sure they do not want to sell or partner for pennies what is the option at this time?
Also, anytime Matt has opened his mouth the stock price FALLS. It most likely will be no different Thurs. I hope they clarify and get financing but most likely not/not shared. Matt clips his paycheck regardless of mannkind success. He will go down as one of the most failing CEO's ever if mannkind ultimately files.

If history is any indicator...nothing other than 'an unusual number of no votes' for the CEO and BOD will be mentioned. It will be ' we heard you' and will continue to do our best to keep the ship steady and moving forward. 'Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all next year.'

A great announcement in time for the AGM would be fantastic, but, who knows (deals have at least two parties involved, so MNKD does not control timing). The share price action in the last little while is saying there is anticipation, but we've seen that before. I'm sure at the least they will reiterate that they are in the late stages of some deals. Let's hope those deal(s) get done and soon. What a shot in the arm such an announcement would be.
