Oops, my mistake it was from 2010. I have been looking off and on numerous times today for some kind of report an didn't notice the date. I guess Al talked a little today. Spiro Mann, of course, is Mannkind's founder and CEO (and lightning rod for controversy). For those who don't follow my coverage on Twitter, Mann put on an entertaining performance Tuesday during his breakout session at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. He boldly predicted full approval "within days" of the FDA completing the inspection of the insulin manufacturing facility, which he guessed could happen within the next 2 to 4 weeks. (That guess is not based on any discussions with the FDA, he added.) Mann also said that Mannkind will sign a partner within months and that the company continues labeling discussions with the FDA. Longtime followers of Mannkind have heard Mann make these promises before. Critics bash him for not following through, and supporters believe time will prove him right. -- Reported by Adam Feuerstein, now flying at 37,439 feet above Lake Michigan investorvillage.com/mbthread.asp?mb=1492&tid=8444333&showall=1

Ashiwi said it best, No news delivered poorly. In desperation I will try to make an excuse for Al's performance. Al had to wake up at 4:30 or so, since it must take him longer to get dressed and get his act together. Therefore, he should have set the alarm for 3:30.

It seems like I've listened to over 100 of these things. Matt has presented so many times that he doesn't even need notes The main reason that I even bother to listen, is for the slight chance that an analyst might actually ask Matt a meaningful question.

Let us not forget about the !. I have no clue what that means, but listen to the conference tomorrow and stay tuned. Because so few of are expecting something to happen tomorrow, we could be wrong. This stay tuned seems to be getting some traction lately. HMMMM Where does this stay tuned come from? I want answers. Maybe tomorrow, maybe not, but there is always the next day.

I will have to go with Baba on this one, at least until someone can confirm that Al Mann has a room in the penthouse at the Westin St Francis hotel in San francisco tonight. But, I do think Matt may have some interesting material to share with us tomorrow. Hopefully regarding Greenhill progress and maybe mentioning some favorable communications with the FDA regarding the status of the NDA. I like this guy Nate with his Notes. I hope he is right.

I don't know how trustworthy I am, but I did pull back some shares yesterday for $6.62 and $6.25. But, now I have made a remarkable turnabout from my 24 hour depression. i am now singing " What a difference a Day Makes". I guess my irrational exuberance needed to take a hit, to get me thinking clearly again. The bottom line for me is simple, the world needs Afrezza, parents with kids need Afrezza, the Artificial Pancreas Project needs Afrezza and a lot of us, either need Afrezza now, or will soon need Afrezza. By reducing severe Hypoglycemia, Afrezza will save countless number of lives worldwide. The FDA and others will approve this life changing treatment for diabetes. MNKD should bring a little 5 year old diabetic to the AdCom as their consumer advocate. I guess by now you know how fast my irrational exuberance can reappear.

BTW, I do not drink alcoholic beverages or use mood changing substances

Rak,
By it's proven ability to reduce instances of severe hypoglycemic events, as compared to other insulins, Afrezza will save lives in both type 1 and type 2 patients. This will be an easy sell to an advisory committee. Bring it on.

I know of at least 3 different posters on this board who have recently dreamed of MNKD making a huge run-up after opening. Each of them claims to have awoken before selling any of their overweighted shares. I think this is clear evidence that they are suffering from investor fatigue. My recent dream of hitting a large slot machine jackpot is much better evidence of psychological stability. At least I made money before waking up.

AShiwi,
LOl, it must have been a bad day for your patients today, with you on the computer most of day checking out MNKd. One thing is certain, things are going to get explosive very soon. Let us hope that it is the shorts who are the ones sitting on the dynamite when it explodes, this time around. My butt has been blown off twice already and I am not sure I can handle another explosion.
