Interesting individual, but it's difficult for me to put much stock into what happened at the meeting yesterday regarding his statement. It was really an inappropriate venue and I question the true motive. Time will tell I suppose. Aloha

Nothing is ever mentioned about the wonders of Afrezza either. It's a long slog to come back, and we'll get no help from the "writers" et al, whose only mission is to help force MNKD into BK. That's what they want and hope for. We have few friends out there these days, but slowly the worm will turn IMO. Right now, it's a race between the cash burn and script counts. I look to Quarter 4, and really nothing else; remaining hopeful that script counts will begin to rise by then. Fingers crossed.

I suspect other senior management staff will follow Michael's lead if allowed to. Someone had to first and IMO this is a positive development; however small, and another move in the right direction. Many here have a lot of poker chips on the table. Fingers crossed for the future success of Afrezza, and for the millions of diabetics that will benefit from this. Aloha.

Call me wrong, but I'm jazzed over the hire of the CCO, Michael C. He has what it takes to oversee the entire marketing plan, as well as the NE effort. He will motivate those new reps to get out in the field later this year to sell Afrezza, dancing circles around Sanofi's paltry marketing effort. Exactly what the Dr. has ordered! And IMO, Matt will be relieved to finally have this launched. I've been very impressed with him, and feel good about new senior management now in place. Let's be patient, persevere, and give MNKD a chance to show us investors what they can do on their own. Heck, I've waited this long and what's another year? This is really huge and gutsy when you think about it. I admire that. Fingers crossed!

True, and I failed to recognize what was going on last summer, being in complete denial that the new CEO could even remotely view Afrezza as a threat, which IMO he did. I thought we had a solid partnership! What a bitter pill for me. I defended Sanofi to the end too. I suspect senior management at MNKD were shocked too. Sanofi set us back by at least 18 months, and makes it really tough going now, but I remain long and hope for future success.

My track record is very similar to yours except I don't go back to 2002. I started dancing with MNKD in 2012. If it matters to you at all, I went with my instincts yesterday and added. (again). GLTY.

Nice job by Matt; he didn't have to write this letter. IMO, shows he's sincere about transparency. Mahalo to Matt and to you for posting this!

Good points, and 2018 is fine with me. Also, IMO once sales start, and script counts begin to rebound, that in and of itself will do wonders for the SP, regardless of how the profit is divvied up in the costs. Yes, it's a long road, obstacles remain, and things might not work out, but I believe it's achievable and was encouraged by yesterday's CC. This is why I added today. Aloha.

Least we forget...100% of the profits now go to MNKD! No more 35% cut. I never did like that arrangement, even less so when it became apparent late last summer that Sanofi was sandbagging us, turning many here, (including me!), into bag holders. But hey guess what, I'm adding this morning. SP is too attractive. I believe in the long term future success of MNKD & Afrezza.

Mahalo for expressing your opinion. I don't agree with your analysis, but glad you stated how you felt. Aloha.

I don't know if this topic has been discussed much in the past, but anyone got any thoughts on why with each passing week, the script counts are dropping? The latest just posted by Liane, dated 4/29, shows a significant drop that IMO is worrisome. We seem to be heading south faster than ever. My hope was the script count would stabilize until MNKD launches Afrezza anew, and then we climb upward from there. Aloha.

Now that is funny. If you live near Boston, go hangout at his fav bar and buy the lad a drink. GLTY, Go MNKD. I look forward to Monday's CC as always.
