Why are you "nervously holding", you should be looking forward to it as there is a ton of positives relative to the last few quarterly calls....the phone calls have started "saw it's down to $3 should I pick some up here" ....my opinion to them is it's a steal, this is pretty typical right? I'd get a call, "WOW, it's close to $7 I'm kicking myself for not grabbing some while it sat before the run up" now you'll get "should I wait until it goes lower?" so so typical. I like the nervousness and negative sentiment heading into the call, actually prefer it this way than the other way around...in the end it doesn't really matter because it's going to go where it's going to go...you either believe in the science or you believe the world is flat...you know kind of like monomer vs. hexamer  The problem was never the science but the patients and the medics. Where are the endos who wait in front of the door of Danbury to get the first Afrezza like they do with bloody iPhones or Teslas? Just so you know that wasn't meant specifically to your post rather the OP of the thread, but in response to your question: about to get replaced by the VDEX clinics and the ONE DROP's along with innovators like Amazon that fill a need of speed and convenience so people don't have to wait 3 mos. to get into see them just to have their ignorant greedy lazy butts go with the status quo rather than what's best for their patients. |

Analysts....which way is the wind blowing today? It's all hot air, so a few weeks after his $7 target he has none now (target) and he cut from buy to hold? Why not just go straight from buy to sell if you are saying they don't have enough to sustain operations...jump in SO's boat and year after year keep revising your end game dates. Big yawn, stretching the arms....these stooges are a comical lot I must say, lets see what they're saying in another 12 mos., better yet if someone has the time just post what they said 18-24 mos. ago. and then think of this: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2009  |

BOOM!! This is a very nice one, combined with the STAT, and the One Drop...I will refer to this as the Afrezza hat trick knockout of the current dinosaurs. Keep 'em coming!

everyone that comments on this board is all opinion ? whats yer point Much that is posted is based on something other than rank speculation. I certainly appreciate posters that try to indicate what they are basing their comments on... I try to do that. Itell's post wasn't particularly bad in this respect, though obviously he has no info about how probable any thought is in someone else's mind. It would have been a little better if he'd started with "I wish Merck were thinking" because it would seem this is purely wishful thinking. It's my opinion that Merck is not in the picture to get involved with Afrezza, they are heavily reliant on Januvia/Janumet and it would be reminiscent of the SNY situation. I would personally prefer to see a leading biotech that believes more in innovative product like AMGN or GILD which are flush with cash and looking to replace their products that are going off patent or slowing sales with long term innovative technology like technosphere in areas that do not compete with their current pipelines. When we get the scripts traction that we believe will come within the next 6 mos. and the PAH treatment further along we may get more interest but right now its keeping our eye on prize and getting sales going again IMO. Once we have some proof (sales) in the pudding then I would love to see Mike play poker with AMGN/GILD competing with one another, here's to dreaming and with that here is my song for the weekend, have a great one!!: A little bit of Ozzy, he even mentions mankind : www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCCiwPEdEpg |

Reposting this here since it has nothing to do with the volume thread: Enter Andrea Leone Bay and the RLS connection, When Andrea was affiliated with MNKD she was involved with pain inhalation studies with Torrey Pines, there are some interesting findings from those studies I remember seeing in relation to the quick relief that resulted from inhaled technosphere meds. Years ago, at one of the annual shareholder meetings in Valencia Al mentioned how badly his wife suffered from migraines and he believed that technosphere would eventually be able to aid in the treatment of migraines and other areas of pain management in a much more efficient manner. Thus, patents.justia.com/patent/9610351 I imagine there is some deal/prior agreement with Andrea/RLS/MNKD with a prior agreement relative to the company's mission statement "your drug, our delivery" IMO. Read more: mnkd.proboards.com/thread/8702/volume-tree?page=53#ixzz4wetrz7W3Adding: (pg38 from following: www.ddtwc.com/pdf/Abstract-Book-2016.pdfSL-105 Track: Pharmaceutical Research & Development DEVELOPMENT OF HEAT-STABLE OXYTOCIN FORMULATIONS FOR ORAL INHALATION K. Fabio, K. Curley, J. Guarneri, M. Grant, A. Leone-Bay, R. Offord and K. Kraft Mannkind corporation, Danbury, CT, USA; E-mail: kfabio@mannkindcorp.com Drug delivery by oral inhalation has long been the standard of care for pulmonary diseases like asthma. Recently, however, an inhaled formulation of insulin (Afrezza® inhalation powder; MannKind Corporation) was approved by the FDA for the treatment of diabetes, opening drug delivery by oral inhalation for use in other systemic diseases. Herein, we present work toward developing an orally inhaled oxytocin dry powder formulation. Oxytocin, a peptide hormone, is the first choice among uterotonic agents to prevent post-partum hemorrhage (IV/IM 10 IU). However, access to oxytocin therapy in developing countries, is limited by the requirements for injected delivery and cold chain storage. These limitations result in a higher maternal death rate from post-partum hemorrhage in these countries. Therefore, prototype inhalable oxytocin dry powders were prepared, focusing on excipients that promote oxytocin stability and engineered particles suitable for patient self-delivery by oral inhalation. These powders were evaluated for chemical and physical stability at accelerated conditions, and for pulmonary delivery performance through an inexpensive and robust breath powered Dreamboat™ inhaler. Critical attributes required for powder performance were identified. In vivo systemic drug exposure following pulmonary insufflation was confirmed in rats. |

A little help please ! President Trump is on a campaign to fight opioid abuse , can anybody explain the science behind mnkd ability to midigate or eradicate the harmful consequences of this drug . Or such drugs with the ability to be put on the platform (API) Enter Andrea Leone Bay and the RLS connection, When Andrea was affiliated with MNKD she was involved with pain inhalation studies with Torrey Pines, there are some interesting findings from those studies I remember seeing in relation to the quick relief that resulted from inhaled technosphere meds.

I really like the MACD crossing above the zero line on the weekly charts, very telling IMO which goes hand in hand with the 20 week crossing the 50 week, also the breakout above the 100 week and the recent pullback to test that average, again notice the lower volume on the pullback and how it has waned each week on the pullback...even the daily which was overbought is settling in, fundamentally and technically common sense says we've entered a new era IMO. for some it may seem like more of the same but these pictures tell a very refreshing story again IMO. So glad to hear it. You have so much more experience in these things. So is this telling us that they are accumulating on the pullbacks and will let it run soon? It’s seems to me that this is the case. More than just consolidating? So I checked this am on the borrow rate, not as high as it was (approx. 70%) but still very hard to borrow....the 5 billion dollar question is as someone else put it are or better yet were we sleeping with the enemy and are they finally willing to take off the chastity belt. I normally hate seeing convertible debt deals because that ensures "the out" when one is shorting, however, I believe that the restructuring would not have taken place if 1) Mike wasn't comfortable making that deal and is very confident about the future from what he's gathered with all the events surrounding the recent studies and label change. 2) Deerfield ends up in a no lose situation as they have all the upside down the road as a friendlier bedroom partner along with not giving up much in the way of risk. So longer term hopefully we will look back as this was strategically well done by both parties bearing much fruit. Regarding accumulation, those who understand the science and what is taking place are accumulating in between the day to day trading games. The momentum day traders are playing into the volume as well, as volatility settles down so does the volume so there is a direct correlation between the two. So what is exciting to me as mentioned regarding the MACD crossing of the zero line on the weekly charts is you have to go back to Mar '13 and then again Jan '14 when it (MACD) crossed positive (in '13 after a long period of having waned below it) with very nice price correlation. So the investors that were way ahead of themselves (myself included) were victims of correctly thinking it was the greatest thing since sliced bread yet were naive in believing that the science would immediately cause an INSTANT unblocked path to success...we all know how that went...and now here we are crossing that line again, hopefully it will be the Rubicon ( www.google.com/search?q=crossing+the+rubicon+definition&rlz=1C1VFKB_enUS603US605&oq=crossing+the+rubicon&aqs=chrome.5.69i57j0l5.16219j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 ) and we never look back similar to Caesar...Hail to the start of the Mannkind Empire (sorry Orlon for the uber analogy couldn't resist). So hopefully this third crossing of the zero line is the charm In the end, how the short web was weaved and who the parties/counter parties involved are I'm confident would only be exposed with a fair amount of forensic investigating/accounting....perhaps we can get the guy that ended up exposing the Madoff ponzie scheme. On the naked shorting side of the things for those that are stuck on that side of the equation here's a little bit of hope. The CEO of Overstock, Patrick Byrne, has been a strong advocate against naked shorting, here is a great article on his thoughts and possible remedy that looks more real with the offering of tzero using blockchain to circumvent the shenanigans : www.coindesk.com/overstocks-blockchain-war-naked-shorting/tzero.com/There is still hope for "man(n)kind" with individuals like Al and Patrick Byrne  |

So I've got a limit order for $3.50 in through today. Anyone think it will get filled or will I need to change it to a market order about 15 minutes before the end of the day? I am still in the process of accumulating and averaging down. When I read these I always think of penny-wise/pound foolish....if it gets close to where you are comfortable entering and it's for the long term, why would you risk not securing your desired position over a penny or two? If you were trading tens of thousands of shares sure that would make a huge difference but if you're investing for the longer term and you're already thinking that you would just put a market order in prior to the close why sweat a penny or two...in the end if you believe the market will efficiently price/value the company at some point down the road then is the saving of .01-.05 really going to make a difference? Just my ".02" |

Joey, I can only speak for myself but at some point I would like to quit living on a shoe string:-) Lol Lol, I understand what you're saying, but if things go as you anticipate you can still grab a few of those freshly baked chocolate chip cookies while the rest of the batch is still baking .....my better half makes the best no sugar added chocolate chip cookies btw and yes I do grab some of the first ones out of the oven, they're the best still hot and fresh....Mmmmm. Btw, this is pretty funny but I finally figured out how to get charts on this dang board...I know I could have asked a long time ago but you guys do a pretty good job so left it alone, after Peppy got grandkidnapped and people started to panic lol, I figured I better learn as a bit of a back-up so to speak.... |

In light of all recent news and price action it's time to renew my vows to MNKD: With this bid of $3.25 I promise to hold you for better or worse, for richer, for poorer, as long as it takes, till $50 do us part. One question, why $50? In other words if/when the s/p were to get to that number there could/would most likely be a lot going on with the company....why not stay married into the "golden years" ....the funny part is that we just had multiple MA crossovers that this particular s/p hasn't seen in many many months....one other that hasn't been mentioned is the 100 day crossing over the 200 day. When someone asks me "what's your target" I couldn't tell them on my shares...no time limit on them and the potential is still unknown at this time...now my options on the other hand, that's a whole different animal  |
