Yep Patten, the M & M's boys will get the job done this time and Sanofi is going to pay for the launch ( Wall ). Ok, Spiro couldn't resist that line. Believe Spiro here, Sanofi is going to pay for it.

Spiro believes that at this point, MNKD is focused solely on developing a business model that will jump start the second launch of Afrrezza. Let's face reality, a successful launch and strategy will propel the share price. An unsuccessful launch will result in eventual doom.
Spiro here, betting on the M & M boys ( Matt and Mike ) getting the job done.

Spiro doesn't know what the heck MNKD is up to, but Spiro would really like to know what Nate Pile thinks he knows.

bmkb24,
Welcome to the board. Now that's the type of 1st post that should set a standard for newbies. Spiro likes facts, but facts don't seem to make much difference with MNKD. But, one of these days, hopefully very soon, some big dots will get connected.

Today marks a new beginning in the history of MNKD. “Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is April 5, and you will once again be fighting against the shorts… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to financially survive, to live. to exist. And should we win the day, the Fifth of April will no longer be known as an ordinary day, but as the day the longs declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day from Sanofi!” Spiro here, just losing money again today, oh well The one constant through all the years, Spiro, has been MNKD. Afrezza has rolled by like an army of shorts. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But MNKD has marked the time. This day, April 5th, this market: it's a part of our past, Spiro. It reminds us of all that once was good and that could be again. Oh... Diabetics will buy Afrezza, Spiro. Diabetics will most definitely buy Afrezza. John here, Just trying to cheer up Spiro, the market was not kind to him today

Jerrys,
During a discussion with Matt last October, I asked Matt, since the cost to manufacture Afrezza is less than $40 per box or so, ( he interrupted and said , depending on volume, it could be less than that ) why hasn't Sanofi lowered the price? He responded, That's what we would like to know? Also, do you really need evidence, that lowering the price of Afrezza to $150 per box, would have generated more insurance coverage and increased sales?
Spiro here, listen, Afrezza is a drug, lower the price, get user's hooked on it, then gradually raise the price again in a year or so.

Bearcat, that's a tough question to answer, because IMO, there are quite a few factors that can be attributed to Afrezza's slow sales start. IMO the biggest factor was a total marketing failure by Sanofi. How can a new diabetes insulin be successful when most diabetics to this day, don't even know that it exists? Then, Sanofi's refusal to drop the price of Afrezza, after most insurance companies refused to start coverage on the drug. Sanofi, obviously knew by last April, that a price drop was necessary, so why the refusal? it is Spiro's opinion that MNKD even with limited resources will be able to prove within 4 -6 month's that Sanofi was incompetent in their handling of Afrezza sales and marketing. It is most likely that Sanofi will try their best to make some sort of settlement with MNKD before the world finds out about what a game changing drug Afrezza could be. Now, let Spiro put some blame on two more groups. First, our stubborn doctors who have become very regimented in their treatment techniques for diabetes and are unwilling to change course, even if their results are inadequate. How many times do we hear about an A1c of 8.5 and nothing is changed by the doctor? Second, let's put some blame on Diabetics, if they even know they are diabetic. Too many diabetics are unwilling to be proactive and get involved in their diabetes treatment with their doctor. Aggressive advertising will find proactive diabetics. Sanofi didn't even try to find them. Diabetes is a nasty disease, it can take away your eyesight, you toes, kill your pancreas and basically destroy your life. I could list a lot more more, but I'm done for now.
Spiro here, I'm going to eat a couple of peeps and then puff 4 units. Damn, how does Liane know everything?

Spiro is expecting news before Greek easter. That would be May 1, this year.
Spiro here, you know, it's not too bad celebrating Easter 2 times.

Spiro thinks if MNKD makes Afrezza $125 or so per month, that it will start flying off the shelves and who cares about insurance. There are millions of diabetics who will try it out of pocket at that cost. Just ask joeypotsandpans about that. At $125/month, insurance coverage will expand dramatically within 12 months. MNKD needs to just drop the price and get the word out and forget about a discount card.
Spiro here, one of the lucky Type 2 diabetics using Afrezza, or should he say, one of the self proclaimed smart enough diabetic to use Afrezza.

Spiro loves to play craps along with his good friend and fellow Afrezza user Blindhog. Most small Biotechs are basically broke and spending money like crazy, kinda like our government does. However, few, if any of these broke Biotechs have an FDA approved product, which works great with most of their potential user's not even knowing that it exists, thanks to MNKD's deliberately incompetent ex partner Sanofi. Let's see what happens after MNKD cut's the price of Afrezza by 40-50% in a few weeks. This is something that Sanofi should have done last June. When October rolls around, money may or may not be an issue for MNKD. One thing is certain, someone will be in a lot of pain in October. Spiro is betting on the shorts being in pain. Good grief, MNKD is selling for only $1.68. Now this is a good stock to roll the dice and bet on.
Spiro here, BTW, BG is 94, 1 1/2 hours after a high carb dinner. Spiro is very thankful that he is one of the maybe 10% of diabetics, who know that Afrezza can control their diabetes. It's nice to personally know that you are betting on something that works great. One day, hopefully soon, the rest of the diabetics in the world will know this also.
John here, I had to cut Spiro off, before he started pumping. You know, that Spiro always tells the truth, but sometimes he can be too damn optimistic.

Spiro believes that only the shorts are getting desperate, not MNKD. It's no fun paying 72.5% interest to borrow, as the share price went up from .67 to $1.68. The longer MNKD survives, the more painful and risky their gamble becomes. Even the Lyin Goldman is buying shares, so that they can loan them to the desperate shorts.
Spiro here, puffing his Afrezza and patiently waiting for the good times to return. It's only a matter of time.

Spiro most agree with his boss Liane. Message boards are notorious for irrational pumping. It is understood that on occasions we will have not only pumping and dumping, but also stumping and stomping. However the most clever posters have been able to disguise pumping by attempting to use cerebral analysis. it is Spiro's opinion that it is difficult to be labeled as a pumper if share price projections are left out of the post.
Spiro here, MNKD to da moon soon, Note: Spiro does not know how much the moon will be.
