We are on the same page mnkdfann; probably not many of us. Most close their minds like they do with chemtrails. It will all come out in the wash.I'm am very excited about MNKD and my long tenured investment but this "concordance" did get my attention. Do you mean it will all come out in the washINGTON state area. (RLS)

They went to the Rodman & Renshaw, Cantor Fitzgerald events in September to tell their story about how the company had been turned around and Mike is very good at telling the story. Just listen to his Biz radio clip. Does a great job talking about how the Big Pharma Giant put huge resources behind a failed marketing program and then little MannKind left for dead has worked with no resources 1/10 of what Sanofi had and now is starting to see positive things happen. It is a great story about overcoming adversity.

Ken was probably also at the investor conferences. It was well planned out and he bought at the offering rate. Nothing insider about that transaction. Just a bullish move.

Strange as this is the daily statement I get from Fidelity? does yours come in every AM? The statement you get daily is a day old. To find the rate being paid real time, log onto you account via a web browser (not a Fidelity app) and look at your “positions” view. At the bottom you should see “loaned securities” under “related links”. Click there to see the current rate being paid. It can fluctuate during the day. I believe you are paid % based on the closing % for the day. Yep this AM it shows. a whopping 63%........ I wonder what the borrow rate will be on Monday. nice hold for lenders over the weekend. I guess that one can afford a cup of Starbucks.

You can bet that chairman Kent is in contact on a daily or weekly basis with Mike and others in company.
The decisions that have to be made require board action. I am sure the board has been working harder in the last six months and they ever have going back to Al’s days.
You can bet that Kent has followed all governance rules regarding purchasing of shares.
He is a corporate professional just look at his bio. Does he possess insider information that others do not? Of course he knows what’s going on in the potential for increasing value. That is why he had to purchase the shares in the manner he did. On the flipside. It would be much more difficult for him to sell his shares.
Just remember the shares he purchased directly help the company with new equity. That was the purpose of the issuance of new stock. The other $60 million does the same thing as it avoid hitting the open market. I hope that the buyer of the equity keeps it off the open market.
Personally I hope it’s an entity that plans on hold him for a long period of time. I believe that was the goal of the offering.

Very exciting if it did go to one party. That would be a more than 5% owner of the company. The company would have strong pemancy of equity. Shorts would be toasted as the PPS would be moving to fast to stop the momentum.

I guess that Mike Castagna did a good job of presenting at the 2017 Rodman & Renshaw conference back in September. He must have told a great story in the private session Q & A.

No that was in the negotiated buy of 60 million + 1 million. I wonder who bought the shares? This will be interesting to find out.
Great resume that Chairman Kresa has.

LFD just came out with another hit piece at exactly 4:02 pm on SA with a disgusting header too. You can't tell me that phony writer isn't with BP, nor is he not embedded somewhere here too. I'm so tired of that trash talk. Someday, he will be gone forever and crawl back to the hole he slithered out of! Btw, I did not read that trash piece, just saw the header and "author" which was enough for me. I stopped reading his garbage several years back. I rarely reply to SA and especially LFD. But had to with this one. (LFD title: MannKind: The State Of Denmark Isn't The Only Place Something Is Rotten)
LFD you finally got something right! There is something ROTTON IN DENMARK........ its at the Headquarters of: Novo Nordisk A/S, Headquarters Contact info Head of Office: Mr Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen
He has a delivery problem as his products rely on using icky Needles and old school methods of treating diabetes. He should really investigate a new technology that has a patented method of delivery of Insulin its available from a company named MannKind.
But then again Writers like LFD have pronounced MannKind dead and buried with no pulse. So maybe the folks in Denmark are not aware of Afrezza and how easy it is to use. What immediate action it has for helping a Diabetic gain blood Glucose control. That it also has long term benefits as it reduces A1C. Funny, how this little pimple of a company can cause panic in the world of injected insulin companies.
I am glad your not invested as most of MannKind's investors while current bag holders are hopeful that one day if the company survives that it will make the lives of diabetics easier and more compliant towards good health and reduced complications that will = a longer life to enjoy.
The CEO of MannKind Mike Castagna is a very motivational person and seems the company heading in a better direction. Listen to some of his comments today on a radio show on the Biz Radio network. bit.ly/2ydCo4a
Perhaps his Technosphere is filled with a new product called MannKind confidence. For the Record I am a long term MannKind investor.

Consider this, Mike C was probably given 20 or 30 minutes to summarize a 27 year story, and I’d be willing to bet he did it for the most part, “freestyle” or unrehearsed. Its very difficult to decide what gets cut out and what gets attention, and for the most part, anything that does make the cut is only briefly covered. I thought he knocked it out of the park, and as time goes on, and these guest appearances happen more often, he will only get better. Imagine that, our CEO making a guest appearance on live SiriusXM Radio. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯🔝🔝🔝🎯 Agreed - my nitpick was about his need to project his voice more, not a criticism of what he said. It was a phone conversation on a Cell phone. He did just great. Now the question is what size audience was listening to it on Biz Radio. I had seen in on my XM for many years but frankly had not ever listened to it. My xm is always tuned to either Fox News (yah I know) or CNBC in the AM from 6:30 am to 9:00 AM. or to Classic rock (showing my age).
