Sharp as tack, a great memory, rich, and a dog lover! Thanks, Sports. I'm currently far from rich, but the MNKD trend looks good. Revenue for the week ending 11/18/2016: $189,000 Revenue for the week ending 11/17/2017: $572,000

After the vote ... BUT, before they announce insurance coverage is a done deal. if you double the shares, you dilute the stock by half so $1.50. Why am I wrong. Now anything can happen but we've got two weeks.

Exactly what Al Mann age 90 was thinking when he made the Sanofi Deal. kc Al made a deal with a Sanofi CEO that was fully committed to Afrezza's success. That CEO was replaced, and his replacement had no intention of ever supporting Afrezza. Al's mistake may have been putting too much trust in that individual.

An international executive mentor once told me, "Always remember that TRUST is good, but CONTROL is better!" I agree it's possible Al may have put too much trust in Viehbacher but the contract terms should have provided control conditions if Viehbacher left or if Sanofi slowed promotion. Maybe they did and that's why Sanofi settled the termination agreement for a larger amount than many expected. Oh well. Lesson learned. Mike C won't make that mistake. Onward and upward!

Now anything can happen but we've got two weeks. The vote is NOT to "double the shares." The vote is to authorize the company to issue more shares if they're needed. We think we're doing the prudent thing by asking for more than we need. Over the next three to five years, we should put those shares to good use." - Michael Castagna

Though the track record of the board has not been good with regard to use of authorized shares. They are asking for a huge new authorization after burning through essentially all previously authorized shares and seeing the share price collapse by 95% from IPO. Whether you believe Mike will only use a small portion of the authorized shares, I think those shorting MNKD will assume history repeats itself and most or all of these shares eventually enter the market to push price down further and/or allow them to exit their positions gracefully.

I'm getting the sense that DBC is not in favor of the authorization of this many shares, but I'm still not really sure, cuz it says so much of what he thinks of Mike that how could he still be invested in MNKD? Apparently, he and stinkypete think somewhat alike - bedfellows? Not exactly alike, mind you, but enough alike that I worry about DBC, being akin to stinkypete, and I really have enough to worry about already. DBC, if Mike does as you fear, well, okay, but there are so many other ways he can sink the share price, that he does not need this in his arsenal. And if you're concerned that he just wants to raise money to make sure he has a good paying job for as long as possible, well, he could raise money privately, or sell the company for a sweetheart price in exchange for some financial assurances, etc.

baba said "I really have enough to worry about already". Who would have guessed? You look like you've lost weight, having a beverage and wearing new glasses. Who would have guessed that a man in stripes like you worries at all! I suppose knowing how a person is doing comes from knowing only what one knows for himself/herself." Maybe it's that caterpillar under your nose making you want to sneeze? "Don't worry be happy!" is a great mantra suggested in song and music. Worry has little positive effect unless anxiety has an upside. ;-)

If that were good corporate governance, states and SEC would simply allow BoD to have full control of companies without any need for shareholder approval. I urge other shareholders to use their own judgement and exercise the control they have over corporate actions through the power of their vote. I'll leave you guessing which way I plan to vote I don't think I've shared a bed with anyone named stinkypete recently.

Now anything can happen but we've got two weeks. stinkypete - my response was to someone that asked when would the stock price be the lowest and the best time to buy in. So your saying that the share price will be cut in half ... is the same as my response. Not exactly, but close enough.
