Thanks for shining some sunshine of truth on this ridiculous thread! You'd think some on here who pride themselves on their investigative googling would have quickly figured this out and stopped themselves from posting this ridiculous theory that you just debunked with rapid speed.

I know someone that works at Lilly in the marketing/research department. I was told that they were very excited about a pump in the near future that will read blood sugar in real time and release either insulin or glucagon to keep the blood within physiological limits. It's effectively an artificial pancreas. I'm not sure if this is similar to that or not, but thought I'd share what I'd heard. They weren't allowed to divulge too many details. That's about all that I know about it. One thing that artificial pumps can't handle is glucose spikes during eating, or that is what I have read from those who follow AP closely. We do know that Sansum has done AP testing and used Afrezza as the meal time insulin. Here's the video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGgGjtM5ipg

I've heard Vdex is trying to get slot machines and video poker into some of their locations. But, keep in mind, my sources have been wrong before. Being that these are in Jersey, has your source mentioned if a center will open up next to the BADA BING?

At least my head isn't in the sand! I hope you didn't mean her head is in the sand because she is the last person I would say that to! No, my comment wasn't at all in reference to her but I can see where some might interpret that.

For the record, I believe anyone who is a member here can post/ start a thread. You are also entitled to your opinion. My opinion is that this thread is to soon and quite honestly, don't be so dam selfish. The world lost a great man yesterday and some here only care about the dollar and cents of it. If that's your only thought at this time, fine, so be it. Dr. Mann is going to heaven. You know where you can go. I have no respect for this thread. Al was a very tough business man. He understood hard work, risk and sacrifice. His passing is sad but not unexpected. I don't believe he would want his team to take their eye off the ball even with the news of his death. Al understood business waits for no one, not even him. I realize these sentiments won't be understood by many on here but I know Al would based on people who worked with him. Same is true for Steve jobs and any other demanding and brilliant business icon.

The world lost a great inventor and philanthropist yesterday, but Al Mann's death will also have important material consequences for MannKind Corp. Some of the issues at play include: How will his massive stake in MNKD be settled? Have there been similar situations with other companies that might offer guidance? Is this the end of the 'Al Mann Backstop'? Could the Mann Group loan guarantee be in jeopardy? Is there a chance Al has 'gifted' MNKD in some way in his will? How will his death affect MNKD share price? Short term? Long term? What am I missing? Who knows. Wasn't Al difficult to deal with? Maybe this sad event makes it easier for certain deals to move forward. Time will tell.

Matt's remarks about turning this company around indicate supreme confidence. Enough that he quips that someday there may be a book or movie about this "epic story".
CEO Pfeffer certainly does not sound like a man who thinks that MannKind Corporation is on the ropes... IMHO. Be careful. He didn't say epic SUCCESS story. Not every epic story turns out well. This could most likely be an EPIC disaster as it has been trending to be and has been for many so far.

SNY fixed ratio basal- Lixilan combo NDA accepted by FDA this am. This is what they want to focus on to expand their D franchise. Isn't it going the wrong way to fix the basal to prandial ratio (and this one size all approach is being done in the name of convenience?)? Crazy, or I must be (going there) Adding insult to injury, SNY is using the RPDD voucher purchased from Shkreli's old company to expedite the FDA approval.

Sorry to pour cold water on this thread but if you do a simple search for oxytocin and mannkind you'll come up with this as the first hit. www.mintakafoundation.org/our-projects/maternal-health/If I remember correctly, Matt spoke about this several months ago. Also doing a search on here brings up an older thread that dispels Monash as the company. With all the research Lakers does, you'd think he would have figured out there is no link between Mannkind and Monash with Oxytocin especially when I just figured it out in less than 10 seconds typing it into google. The fact is it is another nonprofit that happens to have M as the first letter of its name. You miss the point. Monash uses TS for pain med. That's new. Monash has been doing research for GSK. Oxytocin was one example. I have looked over your post and see no evidence of this other than you assuming it. Monash has been using Nektar's technology starting with the Oxytocin. What that leads me to believe is they are using that same inahlation technology for other uses. Unlike Mintaka that actually states the fact they had help from Mannkind, Monash states nothing about Mannkind at all. I think you are making the wrong conclusion using absolutely no facts but relying on key words to fit your narrative. But this wouldn't be the first time you have done so.

Is this viewed as a positive or a negative? Neutral, IMO. As for the stock market? It doesn't care. The stock is stuck in the mud until possibly April.

I think the cuffs come off April 5. If Mannkind doesn't have answers to the immediate problems that plague the company, taking off the cuffs will be doing so when still locked in a 4x4 iron bar cell.
