Personal disclosure, just to let you guys know. Spiro is probably the most boring guy on this board. Spiro doesn't do anything that would be of interest to most people on this board. He doesn't drink, smoke, hot tub, skinny dip, tell dirty jokes, or eat strange foods. . If a conversation doesn't involve MNKD, fishing, sports, chess or conservative politics, he is probably not paying attention. He has a very benign personality and the last person he got mad at, was probably the innocent Coco. I guess Spiro needs to also apologize to Baba for accusing him of being OPC. I guess because of the fact that close to 50 different people have been accused of being OPC, that it would insulting to be accused of being OPC. Therefore, Spiro is offering his most insincere apology to the Baba man for his having such low expectations and extremely cautious optimism towards MNKD's future prospects, which resulted in the OPC accusation. Damn, these apologies are getting tougher.

OK, I'm back from my Alaska cruise and I am now offering my most humble apology to Coco. At the time of that now, rather embarrassing attack on the innocent Coco, I was obviously suffering from Yahoo board paranoia. At that time, I was attacking anyone in sight, heck I even think I accused Baba of being OPC. Now, as for this Hot Tub thing you guys are starting to talk about, I don't do Hot tubs, but I might consider being the official Hot Tub event photographer. Heck, i don't think, I would even participate in a pool party event at the Wynn Resort pool in Vegas. I haven't worn a bathing suit in over 30 years. My varicose veins would frighten the hell out of some the younger folks on this board. I was very pleased to see MNKD's share price going up during the cruise. Every time the stock went up a nickel, I would donate $5 more to the penny bandits. When my wife told me that MNKD had broken $8. everyone in the casino thought I had hit a big slot jackpot. The lady next to me wanted to know, why I was cheering after losing 500 times in a row to the Bandito. I told her, I was happy, because I might not be going to Siberia. Some people just don't understand.

Being honest, I think I've watched Cramer one time for about 5 minutes. IMO opinion he is an entertainer will a 3 word vocabulary. He looks at a chart for 5 seconds and then yells out Buy or Sell and loves to say Booyah. Heck, I could do the same thing on Fox Business News. It would be called the Spiro Show. I would look at a chart for 5 seconds and then yell out Buy or Sell and scream Yassou a couple of dozen times during the show and dance to a little Greek music at times after my favorite stock touts. I would serve Ouzo and Greek pastries to my guests and of course I would talk about MNKD at some time during every show.

I only retired young after teaching 7th graders for 34 years. The little son's of a bitches almost killed me. I do like casino's, but refuse to risk much money in them. But, craps is my game. I will know in a couple of months, if I will be going to Las Vegas or Siberia.

Doc, what do you friends at Vanguard know, that is making them so confident? Do the think Al would have dinner with his biggest shareholder? Babaoriley may have to back off from his pessimistic optimism and turn a little more positive very soon.

Good question Baba, today's conference call was certainly very interesting to say the least. My optimism was reinforced for the most part. IMO, Al Mann basically told us that the FDA is probably leaning towards an approval within weeks. I also believe that MNKD has a partner lined up contingent upon FDA approval and label. Some sort of announcement regarding a partnership could happen soon. I believe the shorts are now in an extremely risky position. After FDA approval, the shorts could be faced with a barrage of favorable press that could drive the stock price well over $20. Just to list a few:
A. Immediate partner announcement or maybe a $20 billion plus buyout. B. Foreign country order C. Technosphere contracts, how about a $500 million partnership to develop a pain product. D. European NDA E. Analyst upgrades F. Strong institutional buying.

Biotec, I thought you knew that the minimum bid is $20 billion. $10 billion would only get a BP rights to market Afrezza, while MNKD keeps production of Afrezza. It seems that you don't understand or want to accept the potential value of MNKD's pipeline. Hopefully, we will get a few hints next week about how things are progressing.

Things may have gotten worse for me today, after I told my wife that maybe that guy thought her hair was wet and he was only trying to help her dry it. But JPG is absolutely right, you do not go to a gunfight without a weapon. I have decided to start packing the most powerful leaf blower known to man, the HUSQVARNA 580BTS. This is the leaf blower equivalent of an AR 15. That guy will regret the day that he messed with me, I am going to blow him away. But Liane is also right, I need to start looking for some warm clothing, because I live in Miami and only have a few light jackets. You know, it's amazing how much good advice you can get from this message board. Spiro, Live long and prosper www.husqvarna.com/us/products/blowers/580bts/

i had a very serious incident at a local Walgreens today. I dropped my wife off and waited in the car getting stock quotes on my cell, as she picked up a few things. When she was walking back to the car, there was a guy blowing leaves. He pointed his air blower at the back of my wife's head and started blowing her hair around. Meanwhile, I am oblivious to all of this happening right behind my car, my wife is yelling at the guy threatening to call the police etc. My wife gets in the car steaming mad and tells me what happened. Then the guy walks over to the car and starts apologizing to her again. So, I started shaking my fist at him and told him that he is lucky that he is bigger than me or I would have punched him right in the nose. I don't know who was laughing harder, my wife or the other guy. Geez, sometimes I get no respect. My wife then says, you make me feel sooo safe. She is now saying, Siberia is definitely too good for me.

Here is another question for you guys to consider. Mr. Mann, in the past you mentioned that foreign countries were ready to order Afrezza, do you still anticipate a foreign country order soon after approval.

If representatives from Greenhill are present, you might not want to ask this question. This question needs to be answered by Al Mann.
Because of Greenhill''s apparent failure to secure an adequate partner, can your share with us any contingency plans that MNKD has developed to move forward after the FDA approval is received.

BD is very wise and since I am a firm believer in posting when nothing is going on, I am going to make some bold predictions now.
75% chance of an FDA Afrezza approval before June 15
75% chance of a partnership before July 1
50% chance of Afrezza being acquired within 2 weeks after FDA approval
25% chance of MNKD being bought within 2 weeks of Afrezza approval
10% chance that I will be in Siberia before August 1
99% chance that I will still be posting when nothing is going on
