I could not disagree more. For one thing, the SEC is widely known to be ineffectual. For another, the TASE ETF event was an event of high significance to investors who have good reasons to be concerned about the company's survival. A patently false but very believable story was published in the morning of the event and caused massive selling. The company has an obligation to its stockholders; we are part-owners of the company and our spending has a direct impact on their compensation from stock. MannKind was negligent in not quickly setting the record straight. I sold part of my position and I am outraged that I was left to twist in the wind for hours before the truth came out. This was a flat-out failure on the part of management; indeed, it was a betrayal. I empathize and sympathize with your plight. But the wrong was not committed by the article. The wrong was committed by a shady character with an agenda. To expect that management divert resources to counteract deeds of shady characters is unrealistic, unproductive, and lends power to shady characters. It is parallel to negotiating with terrorists Ya, but we shoot missiles and drop bombs on terrorists... Why not prosecute him and set a GOOD precedent? Fry him so badly that no one else dare mess with us...

It does seem weird that they handled the debt by paying cash... But, I really always do fallback on what we don't know. Look at it this way, my companies don't have billion dollar market caps, but I also don't telegraph our moves to anyone, whether it be the competition, the market etc. Its not hard to see why MNKD doesn't announce every single thing they are doing. They have a huge target on their backs. I love how they didn't respond yesterday to AF. Yeah it shook the market, but by not responding to that piece of garbage they set a precedent that they're not going to get involved in this garbage. We don't know whats going on behind the scenes. I'm totally cool with that. I am confident that everyone involved in this company, whether it be SFY, Matt, Hakan, etc aren't f'ing around and trying to waste money and time. Sanofi partnered for a reason. The slow rollout doesn't seem strange to me, in fact, it seems smart for all the reasons that have been beat to death on here. That hasn't changed for me, as the paranoia of the market changes. Its what keeps me calm when everyone else is selling. We still have plenty of time for this to work out. Al is not going to let this company go BK. Let Fuckstein and his friends suck each other off and spin BS. sucks if you get caught up in it, but if you do your DD, like the a lot of others on this board have, then you can be confident. Science is great, diabetes still exists, ask a diabetic you know if they would rather use a needle or a faster acting inhaler. lets let the companies that have made multi billions for themselves marketing pharmaceuticals figure out when to release an ad and how to educate doctors. you know, their job. There are strong cards both MNKD and SFY are holding close to their chest. Because we don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. But the dips. breathe. Have a great day! Thanks for replying, Jefferson. Most must have me on ignore lol. Oh well...

We've not receive any confirmation that the 9M shares that BofA borrowed have been returned to the treasury. Those can also be sold without dilution, since they are already outstanding shares. I suspect that they'll wait until pps is higher and might even return them to the treasury until later when, or if, needed.
It's as if management has no immediate worries about cash. Is a deal in the works?
The share price is not plummeting, there is still a battle going on in the trading action. I suspect the bears are attempting to pull it down, but now the buying pressure may become insurmountable. As someone else stated, it seemed bizarre at the time that they'd pay so much debt with cash if money was an issue. Just wish things weren't so unnecessarily secretive. Maybe we'll find out, but how does it benefit them to keep a deal quiet? They probably can't name the partner or perhaps don't want to give false hope if it ends up dissolving but why not even throw out a bone and tell us "there is a potential deal that, if it closes, will be announced soon." What would be the harm in that? Is that against the rules, or would that be considered pumping the stock?

Congrats to all who've stayed patient. Hope this trend continues and I'm proven wrong ?

I am a new poster to this board but have been an admirer/reader for a little over a year and I am sunk at this price point which has compelled me to make an account and get more in depth with the member only data. I hate to see you stoop to these levels Harryx1, you have been one of the most substantive posters I have read and I have always looked forward to your detective work, but this is a whole new level of the personal attack shenanigans that has been throwing the board off topic during this volatile time. The man pictured in this link which holds the closest resemblance to the poster in question is in fact not him after closer scrutiny, this whole thing is ridiculous. Thanks for coming to my defense Jeremg.wish everyone here had as much class as you. I don't mind all the personal attacks on here. It just feeds my ego that I'm the talk of the town now. I'll get mine one way or another. Right Popeye?

The man in that photo is at least 15 years my senior but ya. I can see how you'd make that mistake.
It's weird that I feel loved by all the attention you guys give me. I'm finally understanding why trolls get such a kick out of doing this.
Don't you know you're not supposed to feed the trolls? And find an uglier picture next time. Harry I've seen better researching skills from you than that before. I know you can do better

If I was going to pose as someone why would I choose a medical student? Why not an endocrinologist? You guys remind me of Farva in dukes of hazard. Conspiracy theorists abound. Don't run out of tin foil. You might get cancer!

Ya, I don't really think he's going to sell it. Think about how much he invested in Afrezza. Maybe I don't give him enough credit, but I know if I were him and believed so strongly in the product to dump as much time and money as he did into it, I don't think I could let it go for cheap... he clearly believes in TS AND Afrezza. Let's just hope it works out for all of us and we get enough time and the right partners to show off all our potential

You two bashers are falling all over yourselves with adulation. Not surprised. G Patryn, as far as I can tell, you've been a long term supporter of MNKD, albeit one who points out many of its flaws. Stevil seems to be very respectful and informative while perhaps owning a short position. I don't mind shorts, we can learn from them as well. The ones that grey under my skin are the obvious FUzd spreading sort.. Keep it informative and respectful and I'll happily read everyone's position. Suebee, Truth be told, I would have been short back in August after Matt's "we're not there yet" comments. But I won't ever short this stock. I want it to succeed. I just don't see it doing so in the near future. It's gonna take a hail mary to get this company back on the right track. Hopefully it's not 4th down so we'll have a couple tries at it... But no, I am still a stock owner with no plans of selling. My shares are 60% underwater but I've got time and risk to give MNKD a chance to make things better. edit- I just won't be adding to my position until that hail mary gets completed

That's assuming Al will agree to sell at their price though. I'm not sure Al is going to let go of this company while he's still alive. Unless he has another 5+ years.

Yes, I have a big heart. I care about people. How is that egotistical or pedantic in any/way/shape/form?
And I was being real with people. Asking for grace if I'm stepping out of bounds. I'm sure it doesn't make sense to people why I would care about them if I've never met them. But I do. It's just my character. Again, why I chose to go into medicine. Before you throw stones, let me assure you, you have no idea the sacrifice needed to be a physician. Because you wouldn't berate one if you did.
I don't need your respect or your acknowledgement of who I am. I know who I am. I'm not here to stroke my ego on a freaking message board ha. How pathetic is that?
Self admiration? Where? haha...
You are a strange person...
Please forgive me for ignoring you and your posts. I don't think we're ever going to get along and I'd rather not get into it with you in every thread.

I have a very long investing horizon ahead of me and my stocks are all in cash so I don't have any margin calls or expiring options to keep me up at night. As for CEO of MNKD, no thank you - I have my own company to run and my own employees to worry about without the additional need to placate disgruntled share holders and disinterested analysts. I exited Wall St. because as lucrative as it was living in NYC, it was not the sort of life I wanted to live long term. I do admire Hakan and Matt's ability to weather the hail of criticism from all corners. If I were in that role, I am sure I would have told the analysts that their baseless speculation was not worthy of a reply. Just out of curiosity, it sounds like you think Matt/Hakan are doing a good job managing? I'm not a CEO, and it's really easy to be critical like an armchair quarterback, but if they were better public speakers, you'd find them fully competent and qualified? Can you provide examples for why you think favorably of them? It'd be helpful for all of us "bashers".

If you had the credentials for it, you'd have my vote. You tend to think like a CEO from what I can see. You stay very balanced and seem to be objective, thoughtful and thorough. Wish more posters were like you!

Self described med "student" Stevil. You say you see the world as black and white. Get your eyes checked out and your philosophy for living as there are many shades of gray as well as variables of colors. Additionally, you said that you were gone... but unfortunately I see you have returned to boast about your knowledge and intelligence while referring to the investors here who treat Alfred Mann like a "god". What have you invested. How many successful corporations do you have. Are there articles you can refer us to that speaks to your superlative genius that speaks without consideration blundering in to this forum telling it's investors how stupid we are. Nevermind. There is nothing you say; that I can get behind. When are you going to be a real doctor? Are you going to be a pediatrist? a proctologist? You've already claimed to be a psychiatrist. I personally think you are foolishly a wannabe in need of affirmation. I'd really like to tell you where you are imho on the evolutionary scale; but then you would attempt to tell us again how much you care about investors here and what a great messiah you think you are. LOL Not interested. You are simply unbelievable. Good luck in your next examinations. It's a shame that Alfred Mann isn't as smart as you think you are. I don't know why you have such a hard on for me. You're free to point me to any of my posts where I have called people stupid for investing in this company. I kind of don't want to save you the time because it'd be fun to let you try, but you won't find it. You have this really bizarre obsession that everyone is out to get you if they disagree with you. Perhaps I'm not the one living in a black and white world. There is more than one opinion, friend. And yours doesn't appear to be the right one right now so chill out ha. I'm not a genius. Sure, you could say that I'm in the 1% of the world. But I'm surrounded by truly brilliant people that keep me humble. I've been blessed with intelligence, but I work hard and am a student of learning. Wisdom is being able to see both sides and then having proper discernment to know which is more correct. And I will be gone soon, ha, don't worry. If you really want to know, I have invested in VLO, TSO, MSFT, MNKD, and I had VDSI at 24 and sold at 33. It's currently at 19.5. It's well-priced. And, believe it or not, I really like Nintendo. So check all those out and see how my portfolio is doing. I have a roth and a 403b from my time working at the hospital. My roth is my fun money because I'm saving it for my future house but only get to use 10k from it. So I'm a little more risky with it. And dude you have some serious issues ha. I never claimed to be a psychiatrist. On one of your schizophrenic diatribes, you asked me if I could diagnose you and I said I had a few credits of psychiatry under my belt and that that should count for something. I was being a smart ass back to you because that's the only reply that was warranted. Maybe I should take the high road but you're so ridiculous ha. And why in the world would I pretend to be someone I'm not? That's... again... insane. You live in a very strange world... You must always think you're the victim. Liane and other moderators- I tried to resolve things with popeye in a pm but he keeps calling me out on here. I'll try not to respond to his further attacks so topics don't spiral out of control.
