DBC, I would block you in a heartbeat EXCEPT for the fact that I might miss responses from other posters whose opinions I want to hear.
The other reason I do not block you is that you have become an excellent contrarian indicator.

What are we up to now? 50, 60, 70 posts from you railing on and on and on about how bad the increased share issuance will be? Will you ever stop? We get it already. To everyone else on the Board, this endless stream of FUD reeks of a strong desire to inhibit folks on this Board from believing in the stock. I say DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. Also, with the coming Vote we are going to see fierce, fake downward pressure on the PPS designed to free longs from their shares. DON'T FALL FOR IT. Today the PPS should be up with the news relative to the Biotech index. It's not. I wonder why?I won't be surprised to see Wall Street Crooks take it down to nearly $2.50 to scare the living hell out of people and steal their shares. The YES vote will be a GREAT thing for MNKD. Hold tight despite the continued FUD and manipulation that is going to be launched and heaped on MNKD longs. It is rather interesting that what you say above that I've bolded is basically summing up two things I have posted today. It seems we both believe that shorts will use the authorization as a way of bashing... and as I posted over on the thread about the index relisting, I believe that should have positive effect on share price due to need for ETFs to buy. I do get that you judge the same thing coming from me entirely differently because you are judging it from an emotional rather than objective perspective. BTW, you can block me and then you will not see any of my posts, and of course I would post less if people don't directly address comments to me as you often do. I respect your right to think of the extra shares as amazingly positive. I reserve the right to respectfully view it (the magnitude of shares) differently. For what it's worth I recently lodged my guess here that we'll stay above $3, so you seem to be a little more pessimistic than I on potential for short term share price movement. I'll avoid acting like you are doing something evil for stating that view. "evil"? give me a break. DBC you have expressed your opinion a couple dozen times. How much reiteration does the board need given you have made your perspective clear. It's getting old and for that reason I don't go back for a 10th helping of more of the same. Other than that I usually read your contrarian view. What I'd like to know is Where would You go on a Dream BoatCruise? GLTY

He has something negative to say about just about everyone’s post. Not once has he agreed to any of my post and I get tired of his rebuttals that I don’t post as often anymore. I’m sure and I heard other people say they won’t post anymore because of his constant rebuttals. He responds to just about everything as if he thinks we all want to hear his thoughts. To be honest I don’t read his post anymore because there are to many of them and I want to hear other people’s opinions becacause I don’t have the time to read all his so I just scan over it. It seems to me he has way to much time on his hands to post as much as he does. I’m sure he’s the number 1 most frequent poster here. What he does is post negative stuff when he wants the SP lower to buy and positive stuff when he wants it to go up so he can sell. Know that we are not alone of being annoyed with all his posting.

Perhaps the moderators will choose to lock this thread when the vote is concluded. Given that most people have likely already voted, it's relevance is certainly not what it was as a debating ground for the merits of the vote. With my comment about "evil" I was humorously pointing out that if I were the one predicting that the price might well drop to $2.50, I would have people accusing me of spreading FUD, likely with at least an implicit accusation that I am a liar... a short instead of a shareholder. promann ... I'll do something you claim I never do. I fully support your suggestion above. People should simply ignore and not read anyone whose comments they do not value. There is actually an option to "block" me and then you will not even see posts from me so that I wouldn't even be creating clutter for you. I certainly don't think less of anyone if they think my opinions lack value. I do feel the moderators, and others, may not like if this thread is taken over with the off topic exercise of attacking me, so I'll leave my response on the subject at this post.

I agree completely. Sick and tired of his negative spin on everything. I don't read much of his content - just enough to see what positive aspect of MNKD he is undercutting. And he has an opinion - almost always a negative one - on just about everything. He's going to be a very busy boy with the Vote coming and for a few days or more that follow. Going to great lengths to cast a negative spin on anything positive. IMHO Board members/readers would be well-advised to keep this in mind when "consuming" his many "contributions" to come.

DBC. Relieved you were joking about Alethea's acknowledgement of market swing as a manipulative certainty of lowering the share price as "evil" was a joke. Hard to read intent with just words. I hope the success of MNKD pays your way to fulfill your dream www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcZ0zHr4HIEAlethea. You are a seasoned mannkind investor and have been through the ringer as most of us have. My lesson in this is never underestimate short interest and that excellence doesn't always prevail due to a competitive market where keeping market share can be unethically exploited. It gets old seeing all the deliberate fud and I tire of it too. We have more in front of us but have momentum and a good reason to be content in knowing what we know and what we have invested in. When Afrezza displays itself with a larger audience (as it is now just beginning to do) the organic growth will take over and pesky fud will have no bite. Wishing You success is the same as wishing myself the same! When Afrezza opens the door for Technospere you and I are going to be very very happy.

I would leave the thread open for the next 48-72 hrs. or so and then after that I am sure there will be many new threads and it will go into the thread abyss lol

Promann,
Alethea , DBC is ruining proboards. He is a comment hog. He has something negative to say about just about everyone’s post. Not once has he agreed to any of my post and I get tired of his rebuttals that I don’t post as often anymore. I’m sure and I heard other people say they won’t post anymore because of his constant rebuttals. He responds to just about everything as if he thinks we all want to hear his thoughts.

I didn’t even check the board but once or twice today, and just texted my friends the things I found out. This is craziness! Agree

I have so many blocked when they are extremely negative yes you could miss Some respectable posters reply to these negative Nancy's but to me the pros outweigh the cons in not seeing the negative post in the first place.

I think MNKD management will use a very keen approach to utilizing the shares. As far as I can tell it only makes sense that they utilize the shares under these circumstances (can be individual or a mix of any):
1) Marketing partnership buy-in 2) After significant rise in PPS, following announcement of fundamentally positive news 3) Slow, steady sales growth - in this situation, I suspect the number of shares they sell at any one time would be relatively small, as to impact PPS minimally. This would only be to extend runway long enough for other, future developments to precipitate.
I think scenarios #2 and #3 are much more probable than #1. The company has enough cash to last until mid 2018, so I suppose within the next 6 months, we will definitely know how some of these shares will be used. Perhaps the most significant event within the next 6 months is the announcement of the new superiority clinical trial results. Are there any others that we can expect? Which ones are likely to be known within the next 6 months?
I couldn't give a projected PPS within any particular time frame, but I'd be very surprised if PPS declined significantly. I'd also be surprised if the PPS increased slowly - instead, if the PPS were to increase, it'd very likely be very quickly and dramatically.

IMHO a marketing partner buy-in is a real possibility. This is because Mike C has literally said this would be desirable. He knows that a 100-person sales force is too small to get the company where he wants it to go. Now that the label has been improved, the sales force updated and the TV commercials have begun, the timing would seem right to increase the Afrezza sales force five-fold or more with a reputable BP partner. Selling some of the new shares could raise the funds to make this happen. I've got nothing else to base this on other that what Mike's hinted at so I'm not counting on it to happen...just saying it would not be a surprise to me if it in fact happened quickly.
