pre-split we are up 4 cents on 15 million shares traded. Blows me mind how so many shares are traded post split and so little price movement You should be used to that by now. Unfortunately, MNKD stock has been manipulated for years.

Curious to know if the founder of One Drop is an actual user of AFREZZA? To gain the personal support of AFREZZA by him and others like him in the field would be extremely beneficial to the brand. We already know that the head of the JDRF uses AFREZZA and swears by it. Imagine having these individuals stating that in all of their presentations. The tide may be changing... GLTA! Careful, I'm sure he is using Afrezza although I have no evidence of it but it would make complete sense . Given the recent news of Collaboration he must be seeing real time results using his technology with one drop One would think that he is using AFREZZA, but I will be looking forward to hearing future presentations from him stating that he is. When heads of Diabetic treatment related companies begin using AFREZZA themselves and make it public, that will move mountains. Hopefully in time so MNKD can survive! GLTA!

Wow! If you haven't seen Jeff Dachis in action check out the Milan video in this link. onedrop.today/about/press/This is a man with passion and to me someone who understands that technology is about to change the way healthcare is administered, especially for those with chronic diseases. He's right about big pharma. I can certainly see why Mannkind partnered with One Drop, they are both disruptive technologies and nothing is better for staying "in range" than Afrezza. My sentiments about Mannkind as an investment may be about to change. The question is, can the turn around happen in time to avert the coming cash crisis? Curious to know if the founder of One Drop is an actual user of AFREZZA? To gain the personal support of AFREZZA by him and others like him in the field would be extremely beneficial to the brand.

just throwing it out in the atmosphere. IF, IF, any of this is true (The sale to Dubai. www.screencast.com/t/WGgyVVcy)If "the market" at some point concludes "MNKD can survive," Where do you see the adjustment in the market cap going? MNKD share Price was at $2.50 three months ago. Not to mention, we were trading at $10 plus after approval. This shipment of AFREZZA to Abu Dhabi talk, combined with the collaboration with One Drop and MNKD, and now, the announcement of One Drops collaboration with an insurance entity that is 80 percent owned by the Abu Dhabi government, could be the foundation of something very big! My hopium pipe is burning! GLTA!

From this article... "About The National Health Insurance Company – Daman The National Health Insurance Company – Daman is the UAE's leading specialized health insurer, providing comprehensive health insurance solutions to more than 3 million members in the UAE. Over the years, the company has been the partner of choice for a number of the country's most prominent organizations and multinational companies in various industries including oil and gas, aerospace, energy, construction, investments and media. Daman is a public joint-stock company that is 80% owned by the Abu Dhabi Government with the remaining 20% owned by Munich Re. The company is backed by the reliable support of the Abu Dhabi Government and its strategic partner, Munich Re, one of the world's leading reinsurers, plays an important role as both reinsurer and a valuable source for knowledge transfer." End of quote. This could lead one to believe in the probability of the shipment of AFREZZA to Abu Dhabi being a legitimate event. Or, it could just be coincidence. Clearly, an announcement from MNKD is needed for clarification, but my hopium pipe is fired up! Tired of speculating what is going on behind the scenes. I'll be glad if/when we cross the finish line!

Thanks. Excellent post number 24. Well researched, written, and a great read. Hopefully someone with money who sees that if we can keep rolling for another 12 months - give or take a couple - we should have big buyers for Aftezza and the company coming out of the woodwork. If we're rolling ten times faster in 12 months I'd agree, but that would be a shockingly amazing turnaround. Many would refer to that as an "epic" turnaround! I welcome it! GLTA!

Here's my question, sorry if it is too long: From the embarrassment of publicly disclosing DeSisto as the new CEO only to realize he had a non-compete, to the year-long plus partnership with Sanofi where we seemingly sat on our hands and never thought to raise capital despite knowing Sanofi and you were not on the same page, to the year-long plus since we've gotten back Afrezza and have waivered from contract sales force to in house sales force etc., it seems unfortunately clear that foresight is at a premium with MNKD. Can you provide us with guidance as to what sales numbers you intend to hit this year (and next), when you are going to hit them, and what you are going to do to fund operations until this point? In the past, I've accepted the "competitive reasons to not disclose" excuse but I am all but convinced there is no plan and it is leading by reaction rather than strategically. Petech, It's not too long at all! We have been left in the dark and when spoken to, we have been fed multiple lines of sh it! All of your points have merit! It is most unfortunate that "Foresight is (definitely) at a premium with MNKD" All along, I felt that MNKD had to have something bigger in the plan! Their repeated blunders seemed impossible to be made by a company that had so much promise! But as it turns out, blunders are what they did best! MNKD hadn't a clue!! Unless they announce an iflux of $$ support from a heavy hitter in the next week or so, we are officially FUBAR!

Matt said that the commercial is with the FDA for approval. That should be enough confirmation that this is happening. When I was in the consumer products business, every commercial had to be approved by internal legal and the networks to ensure that claims were supported by data, so this is no surprise to me re mnkd. perhaps the need for fda approval is needed because it coincides with a clean label. Maybe we will get a 1-2 punch here ? Short of an infusion of cash from somewhere, this would be great news!

I was killing time on this rainy day, looking back at some old posts from various longs and going back to 2014, yes, 2014, going over discussions of when MNKD was going to start advertising. It was quite a hot topic just after approval! Not to mention the pie in the sky hopes that all of us shared. How great it was going to be... The optimism was flowing!
Some thought advertising would start right after approval, some said that by law, they "had to wait 6 months after FDA approval, then it would start", some had other ideas. But the general consensus was that once MNKD started advertising AFREZZA, the stock price would soar! And advertising would begin very soon, But it never happened!
My point is how an issue as fundamental as advertising ones new product has been so elusive when it comes to MNKD and AFREZZA, and the excuses that we have been told as to why. It just does not make sense!
How many silent periods have we suffered through? While we watch the decline in the pps... This has been the most grueling investment experience of my life, and I realize that I am not alone with that sentiment!
Finally, 3 years later, it appears that it (advertising) may be happening, hopefully it's not too late! Still hoping for success! GLTA LONGS! Have a great weekend!

Why assume the foundation isn't supportive of MNKD behind the scenes? It's possible that Matt and team are able to stay focused on the tasks at hand and are not spending time defending the company in public because they know the foundation or someone else is on standby to step in if needed. I'm not saying this is the case. I'm just saying it's likely we don't know the whole story. The frustrating thing is that we have not been privy to "the whole story" since approval. Even after a statement from MNKD promising more transparency. Here we are, still in the dark!

To my recollection, Matt has been using the $10 million a month figure since the trials were going on in 2013. And that leads to my point that the 10 mil cannot be an accurate number. If it was since 2013, so many things have transpired since then. It just does not make sense! Thanks to all of you for your responses! GLTA LONGS!

Honest question to all of you... When was the 10 million per month burn first reported. Maybe I am mistaken but it seems like we have been hearing that number for quite some time.
Was it before MNKD hired a six figure CPO, and 70 sales people as well as a few other employees? The increased overhead of all of these newly hired personnel is a nut in itself. Add to that, the production costs of making a commercial, sponsoring a television show, etc. Still 10 million?
As I type, I realize that I could go back to all of the quarterly reports, but I figured some of you knowledgable people would know off the top of your head.
Thanks to all in advance! GLTA LONGS!

sophie "I think you're making a huge mistake if you think continued bashing of this stock is grounds to hold." Words of a stealth basher. I agree! And in an almost expected soft bashing style, dreamboat chimed right there along with that same sentiment. Grain of salt with both. I found both posts not worthy of a response. And notice I no longer close with "GLTA TRUE LONGS". Simply "GLTA LONGS" The way I see it is that any long that is still holding steadfast at this point in the process is most definitely a "true long" That said, GLTA LONGS!

I realize that this has been said before, but now we find ourselves at around .20 cents/ share pre split, and if you have looked at stock twits lately, the bashers are still going non stop. So strange for a company that is trading for pennies, that "is going bankrupt", is still given so much attention from so many! There is a definite reason for it, and thats why I am holding on until the end! Well, one of the many reasons...
What will be the catalyst for the turnaround? International sales, a new label, a good word of support from Deerfield, A collaboration with Amgen, or some other entity, or the reality show? I do not know, but AFREZZA still works and works very well. That, we do know! Let's hope MNKD can turn this ship around. GLTA LONGS!! Enjoy this beautiful Sunday!!
