Let's get to the point. The stock price is down, scripts are down, the CEO position has changed, the company is looking for traction in overseas markets, and we are expected to see results in 12, 24, 36 months. I have a friend whose wife was diagnosed as type 1 late in life. She had a lobe taken out of her right lung, cancer free, no COPD, never smoked, but her Endo refuses to even recognize AFREZZA. A1c is 12, last month she was rushed to the hospital in a diabetic coma. If AFREZZA is the life changing therapy we all think it is, then why isn't the company reps standing in front of the doctors yelling to get their attention? For me it's no longer about my financial loss...I've accepted that. It's about a therapy for diabetes that is being strangled out of the market place.

I might be wrong, but it appears to me that the more people lend their shares out for a higher interest rate the more they make back in dividends only to reinvest in shorting the additional shares. And then they wonder why the stock price tumbles. Then there are those who say it doesn't matter because collectively the retail seller/buyer's share is minuscule in the overall scheme of things, much like the Canadian investor who stated a few weeks ago that this is his sole source of income. I continue to not understand the logic here. If I continue to undermine a stock how can I expect it to rise with good news, especially when others who profess the company is great, lend to short?

With all this good news about golden parachutes, One Drop, Brazil, etc why does the PPS continue to slide? Just saying.

Hard to hold them accountable when they hold all the cards....or votes. My guess for anything but the same old BS? Same old BS.

Nothing is happening behind the scenes. The 'quiet period' is a period that keeps shareholders in the dark, tells them nothing based on doing nothing, and issues press releases about nothing. I can pretty much guarantee that tomorrow will be no different. The 'secret plan' will not be revealed!

If history is any indicator...nothing other than 'an unusual number of no votes' for the CEO and BOD will be mentioned. It will be ' we heard you' and will continue to do our best to keep the ship steady and moving forward. 'Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all next year.'

I'm beginning to think that this is NOT a normal company. Reminds of the Great American Steamboat company years ago. Talked a great talk about expanding from riverboat cruises on the Mississippi to buying a couple of cruise ships, on to sail on the Great Lakes and the other up and down the East Coast, all without turning a profit on the riverboat cruises, all with golden parachutes during their last ASM. They filed for bankruptcy two months later. I do recall listening in...the CFO had difficulty answering analyst questions and often finished with 'I'll get back to you on this," and the CEO deferring to the CFO.

I'm afraid those who are planning to attend Thursday's sham might well find a padlock on the door and a note from the CEO and BOD that will say, "Thanks for the parachutes boys and girls," with a little postscript in the lower right corner...see you next year.

Am I missing something? Did someone with actual knowledge and facts state for sure that 10.5 tons of AFREZZA is either at, in transit, be loaded and bound for, thought of posting on a message board that it's heading to UAE or some other small Middle East nation? When will it show up as account due? When does it count as a sale? Facts only! Please get your heads out of the clouds and look for what you know, not what you hope.

I've learned over the years not to get my hopes up or believe anything this management says until it is engrave in stone and supported by facts. With that in mind I suspect we will be below $1.00/sh going into the ASM. I personally voted NO on all items.

...of seeing sp over a buck is exhilarating until one realizes it is still .21cents per share pre-split. A lot of hype usually found just before the ASM. My brother read an article mentioning Amazon and Mannkind in the same breath...but we've all heard this before...a link to Google etc. now One Drop...a company I've never heard of before, and now a speculative shipment to the UAE. Scripts count! No sales, no revenue,nothing to see hear. I suspect if we pull out the transcript from last years ASM we'll see the same tap dance. Just a dose of cold water on hype.

First: This would be more credible if it came out of Mannkind that they just shipped a boatload of AFREZZA to the UAE...why would they not issue a news release?. Second: I did not notice any mention of Mannkind or AFREZZA in the attached link. Third: The timing of all this "good news" and speculation, just before earnings and the ASM is suspicious. I believe in facts not speculation. It still comes down to this, No sales of AFREZZA=No revenue....you all know the rest.

But here's the bottom line: No AFREZZA sales=No revenue=No increase in PPS=No company...poof! If they can't sell AFREZZA they can't stay in business, it makes little difference who they collaborate with. A MOU, and I think most of have had experience in these, is not an action plan that leads to an increase in sales.

Don't get to excited....back down to .72c last I looked. This appears to me to be a bone thrown to the shareholders just before the ASM in hopes the pitchforks will be left at the door. How long has it been before we've heard anything from the company? And all of a sudden a tid-bit of news? Maybe I'm just cynical in my old age but I've see this rodeo before.
