I would imagine that a huge chunk of them have been short from much higher, I doubt they are feeling much pain yet - even with the interest rate. Yes, but as many MNKD longs know, (including me), those gains can disappear quickly and turn into losses. Bad thing for the shorts is the higher the sp goes, the more they lose !! They don't get the benefit of the "ZERO" safety net. Do you really believe the institutions and hedge funds that are short Mannkind are going to get caught in a short trap? |

highly doubt it. Mannkind isn't working on anything regarding this technology. |

Ho much are those dozen or so class action law suits expected to slow MNKD's recovery? Unless I am mistake, these law firms are trying to get people to sign up for the lawsuit and the due date to have enough people to start an investigation is coming up. It might end up that there aren't enough investor sign ups and that the suit will not go forward due to lack of interest. |

Difference is the majority of those shares were given to them as options on the share holders dime and were not open market purchases So what? They're still shareholders and profit when the value of those shares goes up. What is the basis for saying they have "absolutely no regard for their shareholders?" option grants do not show actual confidence in the company compared to significant open market purchases. But I am guessing you do understand that. |

Let's hear it. I have my guesses. What are your guesses? why have buyers shown up? I could run a poll, but I would rather hear..... Maybe it's because the shorts want more runway to take it back down as they have done time and time again? |

IIRC, made it clear a few years back that he would give money at last resort if his current financial mechanisms were exhausted. It also needs to be said that due to his massive loss of wealth prior to his passing that he amended his will and that Mannkind might not get the financial help it had before the crash of the stock. You say that "he amended his will," but offer no evidence that he did. And apparently you base "his massive loss of wealth" on the drop in the MNKD stock price, but even so it looks as if he had more than enough to keep MannKind in business for years. In my haste, I didn't clearly articulate that he might have and edited my original post. I obviously did not mean to convey that I know for a fact as many on here tend to do about things they do not know about like who RLS is etc. One thing that we do know for a fact that his net worth took a serious hit just like most who have been long investors in this stock. |

If Al's will provided for MannKind it certainly could "do it alone." And we know that as of 2007 the will did instruct his foundation to make sure his companies had "enough money." Why would he have later written his baby out of the will? He would not have! The question people kept asking me was, why hasn't Al stepped up with some money? My answer, because he doesn't have to yet. Maybe there is money coming from somewhere else? They would then say, but why not now? It would move the pps up? My answer, I'm not sure he cares? Now the question is, how much is enough? :-). IMO we will climb that wall of worry for sometime. But hey, it's going to be a fun ride up!

Is it just me or does this job listing seem a tad late? |

This is the location. They haven't changed the old sign from the previous occupants yet. I knocked on the door and a gentleman answered and told me the walk-in diabetic center will be open in about a month.    I love the fact it is next to a Bagel and Deli joint. What perfect way to show how well Afrezza works is when after eating a bagel with schmear and lox! |

Interesting, thanks. I wonder what their record is on Extreme Bullish predictions for non-MNKD stocks. MNKD seems to defy TA sometimes, hopefully not his time. Has TA ever really worked for Mannkind? The powers that be on Wall Street have MNKD in a death grip and there is no telling if it will ever let go. |

Great to hear that your persistence paid off. As for your Endo, hopefully he will see the light assuming you do well while using Afrezza. And as was posted earlier, please keep us informed how you are doing while using it.

Also a really good marketing slogan if they need one...which they probably do. Quote: Is that even legal to make that statement?
reply, agreed. additionally, is it even legal to see? screencast.com/t/Ae0RBKtMZD
It is not legal for Mannkind to make such a statement unless they can provide clinical data to show Afrezza does as such. You won't see any such trial completed for at least 3 years unless the company comes into enough cash to support such a trial. |

interesting that employee options were issued. That shows that there is confidence in the company and perhaps the late filing dated is tied to the employee grants. They couldn't publish with the grants in progress. Well, I wouldn't say confidence as much as legally obligated to offer them per their employment contract. |

Example 11
Oral Administration of Disodium FDKP-Insulin
Capsules containing the FDKP salt and insulin are taken before a meal. The exact dosage is patient-specific, but generally on the order of 10-150 units of insulin is administered per dose.
This oral insulin formulation is used to replace pre-meal insulin injections in patients with diabetes. Additionally, insulin absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract mimics endogenous insulin secretion. Endogenous insulin is secreted by the pancreas into the portal circulation. Thus, the oral route of insulin administration delivers insulin to the site of action in the liver, offering the potential to control glucose levels while limiting systemic exposure to insulin.
Oral insulin delivery using a combination of insulin and the diacid form of FDKP is hindered by the poor solubility of the FDKP diacid in the low PH environment of the gastrointestinal tract. The FDKP salts, however, provide a local buffering effect that facilitates their dissolution in low PH.

There is more, but this could be BIG NEWS to shareholders. Date of patent: February 16, 2016 Filed:January 8, 2014
---
Note: Andrea Leone-Bay is listed as one of three inventors.
anyone know if the company is actually pursuing this or is it just another patent that will collect dust? I see no evidence that the company is pursuing any oral route for TS. Seem like just another "nothing to actually see here" moment. |
