Really, folks, the price of this stock is so manipulated lately, it's all guesswork in the short term. Scripts need to grow and deals need to be made. No question Mike and team are trying hard. Big part of scripts is insurance. The long term challenges and goals are clear. The short term price movement, anything but. A little over two months from today, Medicare will begin coverage for Afrezza. I expect Mike will mention Medicare at the 4Q17 earnings call and that he will significantly raise his 2018 guidance for Afrezza sales at the EOY earnings call in February. Also, Mike recently talked about improved commercial coverage. Most major health plan committed review and enact changes in level coverage on an annual/semi-annual basis. Again, I anticipate that shareholders will see improved coverage for Afrezza effective January 2018. I'm sorry I'm lazy, but where is there information on medicare beginning coverage? Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance We already have some Medicare Advantage coverage as well as small amount under Part D. Management stated in the first half of year that Medicare coverage would improve beginning of 2018. We don't know how much improvement there will be.

This Medicare coverage is posted here on ProBoards. I update it monthly.

In light of all recent news and price action it's time to renew my vows to MNKD: With this bid of $3.25 I promise to hold you for better or worse, for richer, for poorer, as long as it takes, till $50 do us part.

One question, why $50? In other words if/when the s/p were to get to that number there could/would most likely be a lot going on with the company....why not stay married into the "golden years" ....the funny part is that we just had multiple MA crossovers that this particular s/p hasn't seen in many many months....one other that hasn't been mentioned is the 100 day crossing over the 200 day. When someone asks me "what's your target" I couldn't tell them on my shares...no time limit on them and the potential is still unknown at this time...now my options on the other hand, that's a whole different animal

I don't want to eat ASPARAGUS the rest of my days. Inside family joke about a bad investment in the 1980's in a asparagus farm in Yuma, AZ. I have told my kids it would not be like my Dad's investment in asparagus.

Joey, I can only speak for myself but at some point I would like to quit living on a shoe string:-) Lol Lol, I understand what you're saying, but if things go as you anticipate you can still grab a few of those freshly baked chocolate chip cookies while the rest of the batch is still baking .....my better half makes the best no sugar added chocolate chip cookies btw and yes I do grab some of the first ones out of the oven, they're the best still hot and fresh....Mmmmm. Btw, this is pretty funny but I finally figured out how to get charts on this dang board...I know I could have asked a long time ago but you guys do a pretty good job so left it alone, after Peppy got grandkidnapped and people started to panic lol, I figured I better learn as a bit of a back-up so to speak....

Joey, I started following MNKD around $10 in summer of 2014. I believed that valuation was correct at the time and so I bought my first 1000 shares at $8 "on sale". The rest is history but I still believe that same valuation around 5 billion is fair given the potential of the product and future TS applications. So, when we get there that would be good enough for me and allow me to spend much more time around other good things in life ... you know, family, friends, helping others, tennis, music, travel. being able to trade SPY and GLD for a living, shopping for a nice bottle of red for dinner

If we get to 50, we are going above 100. In the meantime, we may bounce around 3.25 so get used to it. As scripts go up, market share goes up, and stock price will follow. Lots of opps for one offs coming to disturb the shorts and raise my rents...
