CC Questions anyone?

Before you cut that charge card up ... are you sure you don't want to go with the initial plan? It seems that Tinkerbell has set the hook on the captain and it is causing the ship to turn around. Peter Pan paid Paul and it Sparks the idea in many investor minds.

?? Ahhh ... a mind on drugs. But, not drugged enough to actually use that charge card strategy.

I couldn't agree more. It certainly feels like there's a positive transition happening at the company and it feels like it is getting more respect than last summer - finally. The VDEX paper has shot an arrow across the bow regardless of who receives sees it and what they think about it. 

Still, we need to know the cash situation. Once that is known, it should translate into a better valuation for the company. I believe it will but I am just being cautious and hopeful for good news on Monday (or sooner). Honestly, I don't need to be a gazziollionaire. I'd like to be comfortable to where I can give back to causes I believe in - that would be nice - to be able to do that without going into my lunch money.  I still don't believe money provides happines per se, choices - yes. But not true happiness. That said, I'm good with my investment and the amount I own so I am not going to buy more. But, that's only my own personal perspective.     

I like your attitude Tink, I just got a charge card in the mail with 25,000 credit that says its interest free until 2019 a could take a cash withdrawal but I have to have some sense. I'd really like to but I think I will throw it into the trash. I have plenty enough riding on MNKD.

That was nice - thanks. You and me both!

Lol. Believe me I have way way to much already riding on the success of MNKD.  I've been buying with both hands for nearly 10 years now.
 I don't need to be a kazillionair either

In my business experience it would be out of the ordinary to bring in a firm like Deerfield to help finalize a deal where negotiations were already under way.  Is it possible... yes.  Is it likely... not from what I've seen. Perhaps others have encountered what you propose.  I tend to believe that things that don't usually happen in business are thus for a reason.

Not to mention, finalizing a deal goes a bit against what management has said about the purpose of Deerfield engagement... wasn't it "exploring opportunities".  Though maybe Trump helped word that to throw shareholders and the evil empire of shorts off what is really going on

Sorry... obviously Deerfield should have been Greenhill.  For some reason those names seem interchangeable to me.  Surprised I didn't say Greenfield or Deerhill.  All perfectly good names for gated subdivisions someplace with no hills, fields or deer... just append "estates" to the end.

#NoMoreNeedles - if you did a little due diligence, you would quickly discover that answers have already been made public for many of the questions you pose...i.e. a new CCO has been hired, the new corporate address has been made public, etc.

Suggestion for Mike C: Begin the marketing portion of the conference call by playing Senator Jean Shaheen's question to Paul Sparks and his reply. Set it up describing who was in the Congressional hearing at the time.

[#NoMoreNeedles]

True, but those answers were provided by Matt P. We have to hear the full truth now from our new CEO.

[#NoMoreNeedles]

Rose confirmed the questions I submitted
