Might happen before the shareholders meeting. I am sure they are very close to getting it launched.
Perhaps even before the conference call May 10. You can bet they want to toss some red meat out to investors.

I'm going to make a prediction that sometime next week we will see something good coming from the management team. Let's go with 2 weeks kc. 😊 I can live with two weeks. Let's say before May 10. My best guess is it hurdles are being overcome. Enough said!

People will come and go. If you look at them most of them are young and they're always looking for their next opportunity.

Just noticed that Fidelity rate on lending is now 31.5% so there is mounting pressure. But today its not worth being in that program. I don't think retail investors move the needle but at this time why even play the game.

Serious question? Have they had U.S. Commercialization of Afrezza

It bugs me that management keeps silence and not defending the PPS. Musk, would puts the fire out of Tesla..... Good or bad the silence maybe ending with the filing today of the CTO order at the SEC.

Seems a CTO order has been filed with the SEC in addition Amphstar has one filed today at the same time too.
www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/899460/999999999717005733/filename1.pdf
Strange that they both filed in the middle of the trading day. Maybe it means nothing or maybe some kind of news at 4:00PM eastern time when the market closes. Its been a very long and downward ride into the Abyss. Maybe our day is coming SHORTLY for better or worse we are prepared for whatever happens.
Since the reaction by the ticker is going down today it must not be positive for the shareholder unless MannKind has a can of whoop ass up their sleeve.

Only thing saving company will be sales. I wish we didn't have these daily patents threads. Means nothing to have when you don't have sales to save the company. I ask the moderators to move these threads or combine them.

Hopefully Flynn works as an activist and help the board and management sell the company. you can't keep string along the need to sell the company. I am sure since he is NY based that he was at the meeting last year in CT. You can bet he will be there this year. The product is a winner if it is marketed correctly. The Worldwide need for an insulin that does not need Refrigeration is huge. Perhaps Afrezza should have been proven out in another market before being introduced in the USA. It might already have been a blockbuster drug by now.
I think there was a movie about him in 1967 --- In Like Flint! www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1Bxoar17FY Ok I know its Flynn and not Flint. But we need a hero to come to our rescue.

Exactly! It's not Deerfield's history or MO to negotiate takeovers or bankruptcies. Their specialty is structuring and re-structuring companies to help them become successful. I was ecstatic to see that Deerfield chose to convert debt to equity. There's a good chapter coming soon...IMHO Have you any evidence of this? I don't know what Deerfield's overall record is, but it certainly has a history of also taking stakes in companies and running them into the ground: thefly.com/landingPageNews.php?id=2432522&headline=ADPT-Adeptus-Health-rallies-after-Deerfield-takes-activist-stakeSept 22/16: "Adeptus Health rallies after Deerfield takes activist stake James Flynn of Deerfield Management disclosed a 9.79% stake in Adeptus Health and said he has determined to communicate with the company regarding various matters relating to the board composition, business, operations, management and strategic plans. Deerfield believes that "recent developments" present an "opportune inflection point" to evaluate "various matters." Shares of Adeptus are up 4% to $41.74 in morning trading." Today: ADPT trades at 0.26. (From $41.74 to $0.26 in 7 months!) www.fiercepharma.com/drug-delivery/deerfield-management-buys-8-stake-manufacturer-of-custom-hydrogels-and-woundMay 5/15: "Healthcare financier Deerfield Management took an 8% stake in wound care company Alliqua Biomedical, buying 1.875 million shares in response to the company's offering of 6.6 million additional shares on the Nasdaq for $4.55 apiece." Today: ALQA trades at 0.40. Did Adeptus & Alliqua have an FDA approved product? I am sure that Flynn went into both of these companies planning to make money but it didn't happen just like our situation at MannKind. He didn't invest to lose his investment. My guess is that his batting avg is 50% at best. But he knows that out of every ten companies. There is going to be 1 or 2 big big winners and 8 losers. Hopefully MannKind is not at that loser. At this time we are that big loser. Maybe we can turn it around or perhaps we are too far into the Abyss.

According to this link 95.8 million outstanding shares 46.2 million owned by Institutions add them up 48.2% right ?? NASDAQ says 177 Institutional Holders 18,471,435 Total Shares Held Are you saying their addition is incorrect? TD AMERITRADE says 21.56% institutional ownership. FIDELITY does not even have a number on the graph.

How many times have each of us said....."This just doesn't make any sense"?.....When it comes to some of Management's decisions. I understand when Mike originally convinced most of us here that DTC marketing had to wait until Doctors became educated and insurance coverage improved etc....but COME ON! NOT ONE COMMERCIAL and we are on the verge of BK! We are on the verge of running out of money, but they keep on hiring and hiring more employees. I know they have streamlined employees in the past supposedly .(Haken) but what benefits or results are we actually seeing for a burn rate of 10 million per month? Like others here said many times.....Matt doesn't appear to be worried about the finances needed to continue on going forward and have this company survive.
So the question I pose because I have no f-ing clue.....Is there benefits to a company....at least to those who have GOLDEN PARACHUTES to purposefully steer their company into Bankruptcy, so as to get rid of all the retail shareholders and then restructure with a new partner It seems to be me that Matt and Mike are just now finally getting all the infrastructure necessary for a successful TRUE launch of a product but not for US MNKD shareholders....for whoever acquires them and their wonderful golden parachutes. Am I mistaken? Convince me please that with the cash on hand and monthly burn rate we have enough to see this through barring EPI, RLS or any other yet to be effective partner or product. So go back and listen to Matt on the past recent CC's....does he appear concerned or as concerned as he should be given his companies current state of affairs?
I will tell you I have been invested since 2009 and I have put everything in this like many of you, because I believed in the science and the platform and maybe it's my fault for also believing in Matt's ...."Epic Turnaround" and RLS having what??? ....."a nice pedigree" and "deep pockets"......RIGHT.
Posters talk about the "TALK" behind the scenes and we want to believe it's something positive and about to turn this company around.....but the way this has all been going down...pun intended, I am starting to think the talk if it is going on, behind the scenes with all the big players is POST BK Strategy and not PRE and it is not in our best interests.....only theirs and their pockets!
Sorry for the tirade, I am usually very positive and quiet but this is a tragedy for us shareholders and especially and more importantly for PWD and their families!
Scroll down and look at who else would be getting what ever it is you are worrying about. The shares that these Institutions own are no different than yours, right ?? data.cnbc.com/quotes/MNKD/tab/8Rick the sad think is that we hardly have any institutional investors. Most public companies have about 75% of their shares held by Institutional investors. MannKind is between 15%and 21% based on NASDAQ reporting. At its prime it was about 27%. So the company is all about the retail shareholder. That itself is troubling. Should have been a red flag to all of us. That being said they Can't really take it private without a tender offer to do so and that might then bring out an activist buyer or company if they see it being too cheap. The company once Afrezza takes off has tremoundous worldwide sales appeal. But it first has to survive. So lets say management or somebody makes an offer to take the company private they still have to estingish the existing debt. Let's hope that the board is giving consideration to engaging a Investment Banker and putting the company up for sale. 19.29% institutional holders www.nasdaq.com/symbol/mnkd/institutional-holdings

I am betting a good witch who wants a very big payday and is tired of waiting for the ship to come in. If he knows Pharma which he appears to know the industry he will be an activist. Better to make hundreds of Millions rather than pennies on the dollar in a bankruptcy. Shares are unsecured. He went from a secured position to an unsecured in order to help the company survive. Of course he still has secured debt to get paid back. Think about what he might make if they have enough cash to turn this around.
