So it was fun to cheer on Conor and all that, but in the end, no visibility for MannKind/Afrezza during the actual race. We're really prioritizing things like this over going full out at ADA? I watched from beginning to end. Could never get a focus on the fin. The pit stops focused on the popular names and leaders. Oh well. It was an exciting race regardless. I'm amazed how people are missing the point and opportunity...it doesn't end with the race, Conor is young and has a bright future ahead of him, just like Afrezza does...he will make an outstanding spokesperson for it going forward and "the mileage" Mannkind will get from the sponsorship will/should carry on well past the race. From what I remember Boca saying Rose told her, the cost wasn't as much as most would think and the marketing edge from this should be well worth it in the end whether with MNKD corp. or one with deeper pockets that can take advantage of it moving forward. The Andretti team taking him on was because they recognized his potential and it showed their insight very well in this race. He was in the top 5 until the crash with 20 laps to go, had already done his last pit stop and was within striking distance until the red flag...I would have loved to see where he would have finished without the crash. IMO this was a huge win for Mannkind Diabetes/Afrezza to be associated with Conor and his use of it.

Top 10 finish! bested his previous 5 Indy 500 races by 11 spots...I'd say that's a huge win...and...he was never in danger of "going low" 😉👍🏻

Agreed, but I believe Fiasp is out of the race and "never really in contention" 😉 What a great ad slogan! "Feeling a little sluggish" ditch the old and in with the new insulin on the blocks...Afrezza...it rides on "air" 👌😉👍🏻

This is almost as exciting as the days I played super Mario kart with my boys 🤣👍🏻...Go Conor! Go Air Force! Go Afrezza!....Conor most focused of all his Indy races, coincidence?....I think not 😉😁

i think liane nailed it. we have seen this from time to time and have learned not to "fall for it" in terms of it meaning anything. No volume, 284,067 shares traded real time at the half. Each selloff over the last 5 yrs. is on weaker and weaker strength which is evident via the divergence with the higher lows on relative strength (lower chart) and relative flat line in price (upper chart). Conversely, if you look at the last spike in volume (last green bar in the volume chart (middle chart) the corresponding peak in relative strength reached a higher high compared to the previous price jumps....I am expecting this to play out and be resolved with a breakout to upside as the equity is pretty washed out at this point with a higher high in relative strength. Take it fwiw, accumulation at these levels looks pretty attractive, JMHO. Enjoy the holiday weekend and good luck Conor!!

At least Conner is favored higher than Kimball. At least Conor's odds are consistent over the last three months unlike Kimbal and Fiasp. 11 Conor DALY Honda 40-1 40-1 40-1 4 Ed JONES Chevy 20-1 50-1 40-1 28 Zach VEACH Honda 40-1 40-1 40-1 21 JR HILDEBRAND Chevy 60-1 50-1 40-1 24 Matteus LEIST Chevy 80-1 60-1 60-1 5 Colton HERTA Honda 12-1 25-1 60-1 26 Jordan KING Honda 100-1 60-1 60-1 19 Oriol SERVIA Honda 80-1 60-1 60-1 3 Spencer PIGOT Chevy 12-1 25-1 60-1 DNQ Max CHILTON Chevy n/a 60-1 60-1 15 James DAVISON Honda 100-1 100-1 100-1 23 Santino FERRUCCI Honda 200-1 200-1 100-1 20 Charlie KIMBALL Chevy 100-1 200-1 100-1 I wish there was a match bet for the two of them, I'd be all over Conor to beat Kimball 👌😉👍🏻 THE INDIANAPOLIS 500 MATCHUPS @ INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY - INDIANAPOLIS, IN May 26 7551 W POWER 12:45 PM 7552 S PAGENAUD May 26 7553 A ROSSI 12:45 PM 7554 J NEWGARDEN May 26 7555 S PAGENAUD 12:45 PM 7556 E CARPENTER May 26 7557 A ROSSI 12:45 PM 7558 E CARPENTER May 26 7559 S DIXON 12:45 PM 7560 S PIGOT May 26 7561 C HERTA 12:45 PM 7562 H CASTRONEVES May 26 7563 M ANDRETTI 12:45 PM 7564 S BOURDAIS

First...I wish to thank the commenter who provided the audio of the meeting as it was very helpful and a clear example of tech-awareness that I now have in my kit. Having now listened carefully to the recent meeting, I felt Mike and others were neither defensive nor nervous in their replies to the questions asked. Rather, I feel they were quite candid about their frustrations, the issues before them, and the paths being walked. In my own life I have made dozens of presentations before very large audiences (200+) where a great deal of hostile testimony was made in reply to the information being presented. It was not fun and takes extreme patience and understanding to listen to people who are angry and "in your face" as they vent their anger. I've never quite understood how people expect others to listen well when they are so angry in their presentations. Perhaps they among those who feel screaming at their children works. I found Mike's replies to these angry questions to be painfully patient and professional, and I reject any notion he was defensive or nervous. Rather, he clearly accepted many of the points offered as ones he shared, explained what is being done to address those points, and was not the least bit evasive. In fact, I found him quite honest about what is not working and the frustration he feels. I get it that folks are angry and frustrated and burning our management team at the stake is very unproductive. Let us recall, this is the same team that has done a great deal to get MNKD up and rolling again after Sanofi tried its best to plant MNKD deep in the earth. As for this board, rather than rant before your fellow investors, if you have good ideas, e-mail them to Mike. If you feel the need to air out ideas with others, Proboards is a great forum for that. But...simply ranking and raving here is of little value to anyone and fails to accommodate the reality we all share, most notably that MNKD does not have the deep pockets enjoyed by big pharma. Such deep pockets afford big phama many options for penetrating the market. It also affords them the ability to withstand the cost of options tried and failed. MNKD, on the other hand, must face each incremental decision with careful consideration of its very limited funds, then make each decision based on what appears best at the time. When things work, they press on as we have seen. When things don't work, as we should expect them to retool their thinking and make better decisions. I believe Mike heard a lot about this at the meeting, though I doubt anything was a surprise as the issues are clear. Given the obvious benefits of Afrezza, the issue is: How does MNKD penetrate the market and increase the number of prescriptions, despite the frustrating laziness of those relied upon to do the prescribing. This is a very difficult task, given doctor complacency, thus unwillingness to stay better informed. Perhaps the long-term spiral that is diabetes has left them believing all new treatments are just another shade of gray. Mike and others clearly accept this as a top priority and are working to better engage/inform prescribers. While they are at that, we should give daily thanks to UTHR. for the financial lifeline. Excellent take, read and post!

Could we drop this thread? Spending so much time and effort for a dumb way to spend money that will never pay off. Typical MNKD useless attempt to play with the big boys. "That's my take on it" Sorry I used your handle. The Indianapolis 500 is a big deal. I understand if you are not a racing fan. What many people who are unfamiliar with Indy haven't seen is the behind the seens coverage of the drivers and teams it takes to compete there. The fact that Connor Daly is a PWD and gets behind the wheel for a gruling 500 mile race at straightaway speeds of over 230 MPH gets a lot of attention in the way of special interest spots around the race. There is a tremendous amount of media ceverage from today, which is the first day of practice through qualifying over the weekend and then of course the race. Connor is racing for Andretti Motorsports so he has an excellent ride and that alone will get a lot of on air time. The Indy 500 is watched by a huge audience from around the world. Last year's US viewership was 5.9 million US only. The average attendance at the track is in excess of 350,000. It is the largest attended single day event on the planet. So you may not be a race fan, but this is a good place to get attention. After all it is in Lilly's home town. I suggest you tune in and enjoy "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.I didn't realize that Lilly was Conor's sponsor until they made a major FUBAR and opened the door for the new kid on the block....Mannkind Diabetes. They actually pulled their sponsorship for something Conor's dad said 35yrs. ago (before Conor was even born). Well, as they say out with the old and in with the new!!! I believe Kendall knew what he was doing when he left Lilly www.ibj.com/articles/70252-conor-daly-loses-lilly-diabetes-sponsorship-over-fathers-35-year-old-slurI love that Mike swooped in and took advantage of Lilly's FUBAR....their loss is Mannkind's and PWD gain....I love it more that Conor will be a spokesperson for Afrezza going forward. Looking forward to the race...GO CONOR!!!

Sure gathers a decent amount of interest in a run of the mill 24hr. period.....so when you read comments like "I doubt a few posters can really make a difference on this stocks s/p" between here and stocktwits etc. think of average daily volume and think again. Think about certain posters/members that have chimed in with comments from time to time and why they spend time daily reading/surveying the board and putting in their two cents, etc. Sure there are members that have come and gone over the years but it's the amount/number of "guests" so to speak that stop by on a daily basis that fascinates me....today was a pretty avg. day, unless of course there are a lot of people that were checking in on scripts Users Online in the Last 24 Hours 5 Staff, 359 Members, 1,136 Guests.

You the man Harry! Saying what Mannkind can't via social media! Maybe they're hoping for grass roots marketing to take hold. Better than what they have going at the moment....
If I wasn't already "enlisted" in Afrezza, I would say "sign me up" , ironically younger son just finished his last semester of Pharmacy school, graduates mid June, I suggested he look into going into the Air Force as an O3 as Pharmacist. He does crossfit everyday now so it's a natural fit. Go Conor!!!!!

At least they don't carry another insulin product or other drug like that is prescribed for diabetes so no competition from within. The V-GO is an interesting product, however, it uses humalog/novolog as bolus through out the day so it just eliminates the multiple sticks but it is still using the archaic insulins. The rep that I had in Vegas and transferred to Pasadena is now working for that company. She was most likely let go during the sales rep purge and landed there. I tried texting her but no response. She originally was with Dexcom prior to MNKD, she is now with a penny company (VLRX) trading currently at .28 so thinking she is not a happy camper these days.

Five percent of the market is still 60K scripts (not including renewals each year.) Higher than what I would have thought. They also handle New Zealand, add another 10K

Interesting 5 year chart. Bounced off of lower boundary. It will be interesting if we test the upper boundary. We keep heading towards the middle. www.tradingview.com/x/ir6I7dkX/Take the same chart with Relative Strength and you will see a series of higher lows on the successive selloffs, this is a very washed out stock, thus the influx of armchair qb's and closet cowboys
