hey Joey, maybe I missed it, but did we ever hear exactly who the investors were at $6? Over the past 18 months I remember thinking “what if” there were some big pockets, loyal to Al, who wanted to help save MNKD and not let it chocked out by all the evil doers.... throw $100mil at it for 10%...... but of course that would value MNKD at $1B or roughly $10/sh.... hard to justify when it’s been trading at $2, give or take, for the past year,,, and how could they possibly bump the sp up that much that quickly? Well,,,,, I feel like I just saw it happen...... I really don’t care who the new investors are, I just hope it wasn’t a total charity case and that we’re not heading straight back down to depend solely on script numbers. In my mind this is another of those events in the history of Mannkind for which we will never get an answer. " and how could they possibly bump the sp up that much that quickly? " Looking at this from an "agnostic of Mannkind" point of view, how does a company suddenly boost their share price to levels not seen in a couple of years to then make a stock offering right at the time they require funding? To me, the retreat of the share price afterward lends credence to this being a manufactured move. This has never sat well with me and I would like to know the nuts and bolts about how it works. I agree that "we will never get an answer" to that and many other "events" that occur with this stock. (And most others) That's just the way that todays Wall Street works. Unfortunately, we retail investors are always left in the dark and are at the mercy of the games that the "big guys" play. It's all controlled. In some cases, it's even criminal! Once I saw how Cramer admitted to manipulating stock prices to wherever he wanted them, (And he is certainly not alone) I lost all faith in the credibility of the market! GLTA!

Itell, Is this study currently underway? I saw a date in May and "updated" in Sept. but no other dates of an actual trial. Maybe I overlooked it. Can you please clarify? Thanks in advance! GLTA!!

We need that kind of dialogue, exposure, and energy multiplied many times all over the USA to get the word out about AFREZZA. Lack of exposure is killing us! Nice find! GLTA!

Hey careful--- well, I've been with MNKD for 13+ years so I'm not selling because of this "strange coincidence". That purchase sends a crystal clear message and if you don't hear it you are deaf. BTU pal-- Mike, I know how long you've been invested in Mannkind, since IPO, right? In addition, I see Kent's purchase as nothing but a positive! I think that the maket is sure to see it that way as well. The whole, 666 and Friday the 13th story is where I do not put credence to. I am thrilled about the path that we are Finally on! Thats why I'm back to signing off with... GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT! Best of Luck to all of us longs!!

Think about it: 166,600 shares @ $6 for a total of $999 & change That's 666 and 999 = is 666 upside down Purchased on Friday the 13th Is that not weird or a coincidence or a message? Looks to me like some real thought went into that Ya, kind of freaks me out....how about you? Strange coincidence, but I personally wouldn't put any credence to it. GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

I can see multiple regional partners. 1. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, $100M upfront 2. Canada, $150M 3. Mexico, $150M 4. Australia, $150M 5. Japan with Takeda, $200M 6. India, S Africa with Cipla, $300M 7. China, $500M upfront 8. EU, $300M Mnkd uses the above funding to market A in the U.S. Mnkd's mistake with Sny was not allowing or requiring Sny investing $1B for 10% stake, $500M upfront, 30% royalty, no P/L sharing, $1B milestone bonus. This would keep Sny honest regardless of change of regime. The rumor was Sny's previous CEO wanted to invest in Mnkd. Al turned it down. Wish Al had and watched Shark Tank show where any honest partnership requires a stake. Needless to say Mnkd should have raised $1B in secondary offering when Pps is > $50. I guess There is a remote chance Mnkd could partner in U.S. with a top 10 BP in the world with a deal structured similar to the one above. Mnkd could use the cash to fund TS pipeline. Negotiate from a position of strength! What sort of timescale is this over? I ask because nothing has even been filed with EMA for the EU yet so you are probably about two years away from national approvals even if they file tomorrow. China is going to require a manufacturing plan in China so $500 + plant is rather unlikely. I think that the other locations are possible over the next year or two but there will be no deal around those values. Sanofi got the worldwide rights for $150 so that will be the benchmark. I always thought that original deal with Sanofi stunk. And I am not alone with that thought. It was weak given the potential of AFREZZA. And I don't think that Sanofi's $150 will be the benchmark now, imo, nowhere near that! AFREZZA was burdened by a non-inferior label back then when that number was established. Now AFREZZA is proven Superior over all of its competition. Fastest in, Fastest out, no skin irritation like Fiasp, no needles, lower A1C's, no hypos if no basal insulin is used, convienient, etc, etc, etc... That is when the words "game changer" come into play. Things are about to get real interesting for Mannkind and Mankind, and anyone long MNKD! GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

Those are my favorite shows as well. I know I would not survive well in Alaska but it sure is interesting to see how folks live when it's 20 below and being mostly alone. I've watched a couple of those... Looks like way too much work to me just to live. Life itself, can be hard enough without the challenges that 20 below brings. I like the creature comforts that have come along with modern technology, gas furnace, central air, full refrigerator, my heated inground pool while enjoying an occasional frosty beverage or two or sometimes more... Different strokes for different folks... GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

Let's remember that $20 now is only $4 pre split. $4 for an FDA approved, SUPERIOR, actual human insulin for mealtime Diabetes treatment? That traded over $10 pre split just after approval? Which woud be over $50 now?
$20 is not out of the question right now! The pps was coruptly taken from it's post approval high mostly by market manipulation/shorts etc... I am hoping for an honest correction sooner than later! Once the launch boasting that Afrezza is Superior is well known to all, $20 will be just a blip in where the pps of this stock will end up! This will be huge! GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

I wonder if Cramer's hedge in telling his audience that he has to research MannKind again is in any way a message to those who hold huge short positions. Who knows?! What I do know, is what comes out of his mouth cannot be trusted! But if he is on our side, and calls MNKD a buy, the minions that do trust him will jump on board, and that won't hurt the pps. I do like the idea of him having Mike C on for the turnaround story. That would truly be "epic" Maybe Matt can make an appearance too! As he finally basks in his "embarrassment of riches" GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

Im even at 7. In for 5 more years or $70 which ever comes first, hopefully the later.. Im thrilled with the label change but the work is not done. I hope Mike is really working the insurance now. We need to have all 3 areas covered, patient awareness, doctors prescribing and insurance covering and then yes afrezza will be the blockbuster we all know it should be. I agree that the work is not done, but there is a fourth area as well, patient awareness. Mike and his team are clearly on all four areas. Now, it's just a matter of time! GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

After reading how the article was titled, I just went straight to the comment section. I basically quit commenting bc my comments (infused with actual facts) were often never posted.
The bottom line is Afrezza actually works better than ANY OTHER mealtime insulin. The Pk/ graph comparing it to current injectable mealtime insulin, combined with the latest graph comparing Afrezza to Fiasp tells the story. The results of these two studies need to be in the hands of all GP's and Endo's and insurance companies, and somehow in the hands of every PWD for them to improve their lives. I believe that we will make it there, just not as fast as I would have initially hoped. GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

so I guess you don't think money influences his opinion and that he is open minded. I suppose that was why for so many years whenever there was a hit piece by a writer for seeking alpha a small photo of Cramer was on the page of that hit peace. And it isn't his editors who control Jim Cramer it's Jim Cramer who choses the stocks and controls the editors. I think Cramer is irrelevant...and soon many large pharmas will drop their pumps..and other insulins..as insurance companies and their high prices are driving them out now that Afrezza is here..72% of diabetics..only need Afrezza..type 1xs will need. basal and late stage type 2's I for one, do not value a word that comes out of Cramers mouth since I watched the video of him exposing his crooked but somehow legal way of manipulating any stock that he chooses. I have mentioned it in other posts and even provided a link in the past. I know that some of you saw the video as well and have commented on it too. I will look for it again when I have time, and post it if no one on here beats me to it. Unfortunately what Cramer does say actually does sway some investors to buy or sell, but imho, you must be a novice investor to invest based on a television show host. DD is the best, and even then, no one is perfect, right? GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

Al built, he healed, and he sold, and moved on to do it again! But it’s not time yet:-) Mike's taking this all the way down the yellow brick road! IMO......He loves his job:-) I agree, Al's pattern of developing/building a product or company and then sell it and would move onto his next venture, very clearly worked very well for him. His track record is more than exemplary! Those days are obviously over and things are very different. I see Mannkind holding onto the reigns of Afrezza and Technosphere, and developing several parnerships for various benefits such as worldwide distribution, etc... IMHO, anything else would not be as beneficial for Mannkind Corp in the long run because unfortunately, the world no longer has the brilliant mind and wonderful heart of Alfred Mann for him to lead Mankind (spelling intentional) to it's next venture. He left enough brilliance in Afrezza and Technosphere for his legacy to thrive indefinitly! And if managed properly, it will! And now that Mike C is at the helm, it looks like we are on the right path. In addition, getting back to the topic of this thread, IMHO, Sanofi would be the last company that I would want to have anything to do with AFREZZA. After what we already went through with them, we cannot possibly trust them. GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

Somebody worked very hard at the end to make certain it closed below $5. Wonder who and why? Any ideas? My guess is pinning 5 for tomorrow's weekly expiry, there were a lot of contracts closed out from last weeks big call purchases, suspect they were rolled out. Putting things in perspective, closing up 40% today is sensational and at $5 ($1.00 pre-split) think about that, how ridiculous is $1 with pretty much all sails opened and a nice steady wind at her back Yes, while this upturn is wonderful, dont get me wrong, but we are really only back to $1.00. But that certainly beats a sharp stick in the eye! This is way below where we should be and I believe will be! Remember that we were over $10 right after approval. We still have a long way to go! Long and strong! GLTA! GO MNKD! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!
