So DBC... you are finally coming around to Al Mann's conclusion regarding pumps (his last major paradigm in Diabetes treatment) and Afrezza What did Al say about pumps? I'm paraphrasing: that the pump is complicated and way more expensive, and Afrezza works so much better / costs way less, it would obviate the need for the pump (or just go with what DBC said) or best, just read Brentie's AM quote .

rockstarrick ... there is variability in absorption dynamics (such as caused by hydration level), so it really isn't even possible to just have a calibrated electro-mechanical pump system. An AP really has to adjust for end to end dynamics using the CGM. Dual hormone helps with the issue of overshooting. I haven't really tracked the research in APs to see what level of time in range they are achieving, as my basic thesis on Afrezza is that even if an AP can match the results, the cost and inconvenience of AP will prevent it from becoming mainstream. So DBC... you are finally coming around to Al Mann's conclusion regarding pumps (his last major paradigm in Diabetes treatment) and Afrezza

It's obviously in the interests of hedge fund managers and short pundits, who try to make their living by shorting stock, to spread fear and shake the tree. This time, though, because of minimal dilution and strengthening of the company financials, those who took short positions yesterday may get burned. Be nice to see a little jump in scripts tomorrow. May stop the bleeding! This isn't bleeding... more like a minor surface abrasion (recalls 'We the Black Knights' who hath suffered many minor flesh wounds of MannKind in thy past)

I would sure like to understand the rapid turn around in share price. I get the label change catalyst but this feels like manipulation just as a lot of the downward movement in the past felt like manipulation. So what's changed? The script count is still an issue although funding is not. I would like to know what's behind the meteoric rise in price. Did those that manipulated the price down finally move on? Don't get me wrong, I think this is great but I really want to know what's behind it. Who could have predicted this? I appreciate any thoughts. First, the capitalization was overwrought with the fear of bankruptcy, driving it well below a rational estimate of worth (or anyone could argue that the market cap was correct for how close we were... i'll leave that to the experts) Second, the lousy label limited the business potential. The lid is off these 2 items, allowing the value to head back up to something that more reasonably represents the value in the company. Mike put the pieces in place and orchestrated getting this animal back on it's 4 legs. It was on it's back. Now I expect the market cap to start to represent the potential in Afrezza and Technosphere.

Have him call Vdex and get a script. They will lead him through it. That’s what they do:-) He lives in Connecticut. Also he wants to talk to a type one diabetic. He wants to talk diabetic to diabetic. I can only offer him my advice as an investor. He needs to talk to an actual patient. I reached out on my Facebook page and on my Twitter not even mannkind got back to me. PM to hillsave (on this board); He is T2, and his son is T1; both on Afrezza. Both live in NY.

I have no idea what planets are aligning with aliens, golden crosses, tea cups, triangles, moving averages, it all sounds delightful so I'll buy more... don't forget that goodness to gracious diamond. joey's "box", my lucy in the sky with "diamonds."
you don't see those everyday. (should have been aligns with Mar's that is lyrics from age of Aquarius ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=06X5HYynP5E
anyone old enough to remember this? baba?
It's foggy but, I have this sketchy recollection of something about a dawning of the age of Aquarius coming next... but I think it is Jupiter that needs to align with Mars ! Read more: mnkd.proboards.com/posts/recent#ixzz4ul0elFIY

Good point let's look. I am glad you pointed this out look at the rsi. The daily, the moving averages need to catch up to price. The golden cross happening. *the weekly, the MACD going through 0. the weekly, (a double crossing will occur,) the golden cross on the daily, the titanium cross of the weekly as the 50 week crosses up through the 200 week.
So rsi, price needs to allow the 20 day simple to catch up a bit. the 50 will chase it up, and Venus will alien with Mars. Peace will guide the planets and love will rule the stars....
Weekly; 200 week will meet before this is over. Can you see it?

I caught that too... You would have thought after a year the F-Dee-lAy would get that sorted...What a wonderful bureaucracy we fund! ...and perhaps MNKD could have participated in 'sorting it out'. Contrary to what one may think, dealing with the FDA is not a very interactive process. You request a meeting with them to discuss a particular topic, wait to get scheduled onto the calendar, then have your meeting and hope everything gets addressed. These pains are taken to preserve the independence, impartiality, and avoid influence on a governing agency. There was likely a suggestion for the label, but not necessarily any company review. The FDA generates the label. If multiple of us message board weenies could pick out these 2x instances at a glance, don't you think company staff tasked with the responsibility to ensure things are clearly communicated to the FDA would not have caught this?

I forgot about the STAT study, silly me. I guess my cognitive performance was impaired from thinking about Metformin. Those bastids. (peppy is a bad influence on me) peppy is a bad influence on us all.... and that's good! 😈

babaoriley ... well, setting aside intent, I challenge anyone to point out something that was factually untrue that I've said... short of my own clear sarcasm at times. baba.... factually untrue? Don't answer him. It is a trick question that only an oxymoron would attempt! (emoji stolen from Sports)

Who knows the answer to this for certain: Can they do some type of convertible notes offering as a private placement without having to call a special shareholder meeting to authorize the shares beforehand? (my guess is... likely not) Be nice if the Investment advisor to the stars could band these quasi & wealthy actors together (once you draw in the likes of a Hanks or a Berry, $$ is no object) in a private placement; just tell them all the good that they will be doing for society with this investment. OK, Dream over
