Babaoriley, you are good. How did you know that over 15,000 of my MNKD shares were purchased using the money i saved by staying at Motel 6's in the past? i have also purchased another 10,000 shares using the money earned from wiping car windows at my favorite corner in Miami.

Good reply Savzak. I believe that quite a few of us deserve some sort of bonus for being such ardent supporters of MNKD. It has been very difficult staying positive for so long. I just hope I don't get something like a section 8 in the mail. I think Babaoriley already received a section 8, because of his fear of shorts. I assure you that If I get a form 4, I will sell the entire bonus. Greed kills. BTW, because things were going so bad this week, I spent a lot of time hiding under the bed in denial. it was nice to get some fresh air on Friday.

Purge, most shorts definitely believe that MNKD will not be able to find a partner. Now, if I believed that, I would sell all my shares, taking a substantial profit and move on. BTW, it looks like that stupid Vanguard group added shares again during the last quarter. One thing is certain, Vanguard, Fidelity, and Blackrock, along with a lot of retail investors have been making a ton of money, buying and holding MNKD during the past 2 years.

Who knows? At least it' gives something new to think about. There is also an Allergan rumor out there.

Liane, don't get upset, but Babaoriley is a short.

Spiro, don't put too much store into what Al Mann said. Just look at Brentie's post above, containing a partial resume for Mr. Mann. I mean, when you get right down to it, this Mann guy really hasn't done all that much with his life. Frankly, he comes across as somewhat of a ne'er-do-well, heck, I should know, I play golf with those types all the time. And not only that, he's had 89 years to do those things! How many of us have lived 89 years? Give me a little time, that's all I need. I'm feeling my great accomplishments are right around the corner, don't write me off quite yet. I'm planning on having incredibly productive and insightful 8th and 9th decades! I'm positively flummoxed as to why everyone gets so excited over him. I mean, when he walked into the AGM, a hush went through the crowd, and then the camera flashes started going off. Made me nauseous. What, had Bruce Springsteen or Pee Wee Herman just walked in? I didn't see any Holy Water at the doorway, did I miss a kneeler in front of my seat? I felt I might get tossed if I didn't genuflect and bow my head. Heck, five'll get you ten Al was a constant source of disappointment to his parents. Probably tortured puppies and threw kerosene on cats. This Mann is a master illusionist, and he's fooled plenty of people in his day. Have any of those universities actually tried cashing those hundred million dollar checks he's written to them? Last thing a university wants is for it to be made public that they gotten taken by Al Mann. I'm thinking Al may be related to Bernie Madoff, I'm seeing the similarities, how about the rest of you, admit it now. Did he do extraordinary things when he was 8 years old? Did he lift a car off of someone? How was prom night - did he attempt to show his date his prototype inhaler? Did he do well with the ladies when he was in college? Did he even go to college? I'll bet he skipped class to go to the race track. Was higher education even invented when he was 20? Jack Bauer could take care of him, especially now. I know this post is going to hurt some of you, and I apologize, especially to Chris's young son, who really admires Al Mann. But it's time someone took him down a few pegs, and I might as well be the one to do it. I just couldn't hold it in anymore, Al Mann is not God and you all need to get over it this minute! There, whew, it's off my chest, feels good, like when I helped an elderly lady across the street and ran off with her purse, now I can go back to documenting my loan transaction...

Ashiwi, I believe Al Mann said that the artificial pancreas would be too expensive and complex

Baba, no worries here. After all, MNKD now has an approved drug and a potentially loaded pipeline. Ok, so we are not yet where we want to be with the share price, but you young guys need to develop some patience. With the share price at $9.85, I guarantee you the misery index is a lot higher with the shorts. I admit this investor fatigue can be bothersome, but it's better than the nightmares the shorts are having. It sure would be nice to know what is going on over at Greenhill these days. My guess, they are wrapping up a huge deal for some one. I just hope it's for MNKD.

Babaoriley is almost as good as Spiro at sniffing out a short, but Greeks usually have much bigger noses.

Their can be only one logical explanation for today's close. The FDA couldn't possibly have approved Afrezza on Friday.

chmith27,
I share your concerns about the possibility that MNKD has been feeding us fortune cookies. But, I am very confident that Greenhill researched MNKD with a fine tooth comb before they jumped in. Greenhill has been licking their chops after reading the Afrezza label. I think a deal will happen pretty fast, unless a huge offer comes out of nowhere from a suddenly more serious company. But, I still think that Greenhill will not give them much time to ink their offers.

Approval is not priced in yet. Monday or Tuesday's close will be the starting point and then the hype starts all over for the partner or possible buyout. I still wouldn't mind a $12 - $15 billion Afrezza sale, with MNKD keeping production and getting some milestones. But because of the good label, a total buyout of MNKD may very well be on big pharm.'s mind now. My guess, Al would sell for $30 billion. Let the bidding war begin. Who was it that thought MNKD's market cap was too high when MNKD was selling for $6.00 ? Isn't it nice not to have to worry about another CRL and we can still hate the FDA.

Congratulations to all longs, the fat lady is finally off the stage and will never get to sing on this one. Wow, what a crazy day. I am still trying to digest what happened. I turned my computer on at 3:40, just in time for the brutal last 15 minutes of trading. I didn't know anything until I saw Liane's post about FDA approval. I told my wife and we both did a little Greek dance around my desk. I went back to the computer screen and saw the price plunging. I bought 30 more Jan 2015, $7 calls for $2.30. I am anxiously awaiting more opinions from real doctors about the label. Spiro believes the label is a damn good start and will not be too difficult for MNKD and it's partner to work with.
