They took a new position yesterday! Green rows indicate new positions. I Like GREEN Vanguards name is written in green, but so are all of the others! Vanguard is NOT shaded in green. However, If I am not mistaken, it looks like Deerfield is listed as taking a new position on 8/14/17 of 2,7 plus million shares GLTA!

One would think that Mannkind will have their attorneys contact the station for a reversal of that comment. When a potential patient or physician hears that type of "side effect", it instantly kills the brand. This kind of thing seems to happen too often. GLTA

Great article! It needs to get exposure in current media. Published in November of 2009. Al addressed dosage quite clearly, "three times the amount" of injectable insulin. Interesting also to read the comments. While reading it, one can see why we longs invested in MNKD in the first place and are so very dedicated to AFREZZA'S success! Sad that Al is no longer here to see it through, but I think that we will! GLTA!

It seems insurance is one of the greatest holds on afrezza. But even insurance has improved quite a bit, but obviously, more needs to happen on that front! We really need the new drug formularies to be AFREZZA friendly! That, with a new label etc...etc... We're going to get there! IMHO, of course... GLTA!

This graph alone, should be able to convince anyone with a rational thinking brain to possibly give AFREZZA a try...Wouldn't you think?

Is this the short thread? I'm just here to thank all the shorts who were responsible for my being able to buy a ton of stock on Thursday at $1.12. I had hoped that you all would have been more efficient and could bring the pps back below a buck. Next time you should try a lot harder. Although I must admit that you all do a really great job manipulating the price down with tiny trades. ?? Will you be able to do the same thing when the stock is trending upward? Can you do tiny trades to manipulate the pps up? Wow! I hope so ... because my daughter now wants me to buy her a $20M condo in the Ala Moana shopping center area. (Hope she can afford the maintenance fee.) Ha! I'm beginning to suspect it is you that is the manipulating trader, both up and down. It is usually the one that is pointing out things and accusing others that is actually doing them. That's devious. You're new here. No track record of being a long term MNKD shareholder like many of us here. Very suspicious joining forums and attacking long term participants. I'm not getting into all of that DBC, but the talk of thanking shorts for the ability to buy on the cheap went away once we took the hit of a reverse split! There is nothing good about the current price of this stock! And I am Long MNKD for almost 8 years! Still here and not selling! GLTAL!!

Understood, but those diabetic clinics were not promoting a revolutionary treatment for the disease. AFREZZA is a game changer! And finally, the game is beginning to change! Afrezza currently has worse coverage by insurers than the non-revolutionary diabetes treatments. I'd sure want to see VDex's financials for the past year before working with them to replicate their model. Worse only because AFREZZA is "new" Being that VDex is also new and showcasing/promoting a "new" product, I would guess that their financials at this stage of their existance would certainly be less than super impressive. Especially, as you mentioned, the challenge of insurance providers support among other challenges that AFREZZA has faced. But note the changes in coverage that have transpired over the last year plus...We are going in the right direction there too! Still more work to do in that area, but it appears that the tide is finally turning. Hopefully, AFREZZA will bode well in the soon to be released updated formularies from insurance companies. Along with new label, pediatric studies, international exposure, etc, etc... My bet is that we will see a continued growth in acceptance by the medical community as well as insurance coverage. The more that one knows about AFREZZA, will help clarify that the VDex business model is certainly promising! Opening a VDex center could turn out to be a gold mine! GLTA!

It's hard to imagine a more slam-dunk business opportunity than a walk-in diabetes clinic. They're needed in every city. The clinic should be owned by a doctor who does not have to be present full-time. A nurse practitioner, who is present full-time, can see the patients and write scripts working under the doctor's supervision. If a patient has advanced diabetes complications beyond the NP's expertise, the NP can set up an appointment with the doctor who comes in one or two days a week. The majority of the profit opportunity will not come from the pocket of the walk-in customers but from VDex insurance billings. This appears to be a very big market opportunity that doesn't require a typical franchise fee and will have very limited competition if any. ...or you could open a restaurant. One might think that, but then just this past week there was thread about a chain of diabetes clinics closing down for financial reasons. And there was an article from years ago about the same thing... diabetes clinics (even ones with good patient outcomes) weren't financially sustainable because of the reimbursement problems with insurers. Understood, but those diabetic clinics were not promoting a revolutionary treatment for the disease. AFREZZA is a game changer! And finally, the game is beginning to change!

Hey madog! You may want to occasionally add an emoticon to help others understand your satire.
I understand where you're coming from Holdem, but having to alert the masses to one's satire or sarcasm feels so, so, oh, I don't know, unfulfilling. And if "they" don't understand, maybe they do not need or deserve to!

Maybe someone or Mannkind could create a goFundMe.com page to raise the $10 million to pay off the near term debt. Hypothetical: $10,000,000 / 10,000 (longs who want to save their investment) = $1000. This would create a possible short squeeze and we would easily get our $1000 back. or We could just sit back and wait for dilution or a possible buyout. What do you guys think? I believe that Mike C and his team have their own plan to handle the debt. The recent hiring of top executives in the MNKD arena lends me to feel this way. Hopefully their plan does not beat up the stock price any more than it already is. Maybe a go fund me account will help... I don't have the answers, but I'm sure as hell not going anywhere at this point! The tide seems to be turning... Albeit slowly, we are going in the correct direction. GLTA!

Only mentions inhaled, at mealtime. The rest was all of the side effects and legal jargon. Yes, it seemed that the possible side effects were more pronounced than the product itself. Not to sound cynical, but it was not that impressive, even the resolution of the video was not very sharp. But, I'll take it! It is the best commercial that I have seen for AFREZZA on television thus far. Unfortunately, it is the only commercial as well! But it's a start!!

The exercise price. Technically, as the form says, the "Proposed maximum offering price per share". I agree $7.50 is unrealistic, but they need a number for the form. I expect the true exercise price will be below the maximum price that was filed. I went to the SEC filing instead of SA which is usually just a bunch of nonsense anyway. Can they lower the price? Is that even possible if it's been filed with the SEC? There's no way we'll see $7.50 by next year unless a miracle happens. Maybe that "miracle" can be seen through the "crystal ball" that Mike C referred to. Something that we do not know... Yet! GLTA!

Any idea where you saw / heard this, about VDEX buying direct? I would think MNKD would mention this - indeed, shout it from the rooftops - if it were the case. Pfeffer did talk about this back in early 2016. They even put targeting 100 sites by the end of 2018 on the 2.0 document. It just makes sense. If I were planning to do my own Vdex I would go to Mike just like Dachis just did. The question I have had is what happened to these guys??? One site? There was something about them taking it slow, proving the protocol. It seems the protocol and afrezza work better than most ever thought, including myself. Does anyone know? Sayhey, If I am not mistaken, someone posting on this mb is affiliated with VDEX, (owner possibly?) And again, if my memory serves me correctly, this person stated that the original plan was to open a few locations slowly and ramp up as you stated in your post. Then came the Sanofi debacle, major upheval, and understandably some investors backed out, putting an end to Plan A. Hopefully, once MNKD gets AFREZZA a bit more secured n the marketplace, the investors in Vdex will revisit their original plan and start opening more Vdex locations. If/when AFREZZA becomes a success, Vdex should become a hot commodity! Wendy's started with just one location too! As investors and/or supporters of MNKD, none of this has gone according to any of our plan and definitely not in our time line. At least now, people are finally learning about the benefits and the revolutionary potential of AFREZZA! Albeit very slowly, but IMHO, we are finally headed in the right direction! Let's hope!! GLTA!

here is the thinking. I have not bought in. Mike C and two other hires from Amgen. The Dubai news. Amgen opening an office in Dubai.
(some people have thought Amgen will buy MNKD. I went to the amgen website and I missed any synergy.)
I have to admit I never had a gut feeling about Amgen. Two of my good friends, Patten and Mannontop keep telling me something was up! I'm starting to believe it:-) This is great news! Thanks Sports! I thought Amgen would be involved! Here is my post from April 7, cut and pasted... Apr 7, 2017 at 4:49pm I am predicting Amgen being involved, and with their involvement, taking AFREZZA to success and a launch overseas as well! But, then again, we could be getting our hats handed to us...This is MNKD...So...Who really knows?? But based on the terms of the continued employment, etc. of the 8k, I honestly think a very positive event is looming! It would be about time, right?? GLTA TRUE LONGS!!
