Whatever the deal is, Al Mann really is a legend on this own - if you care beyond just MannKind, are aware that he has pledged all his wealth to charity and betterment of the world. Some of you might have already read this, but here is the proceedings from honoring his acheivements (as well as chastizing FDA) in Congress.

Let me also add that it is funny reading some of the recent posts on the forum. Couple of guys swearing by the efficacy of Afreeza and all kind of conspiracy theories. Lol, every biotech forum has its share of pumpers (as well as imposters claiming they are part of trial and seen miracle at work) and stupid bashers.

I believe that that if there was really a super drug - as Afreeza is to some people in this forum - there would be nothing in the world, least of all FDA, that can hold it back. By the same measure we would not be sitting here speculating on when/how/what financing would be available and neither would we be perilously close to penny stock category.

Note, I'm not trying to bash mnkd, I'm a long holder since maybe 2+ yrs (yeah, avg $6) and I'v witnessed the typical ups and downs as with any biotech firm promising the world. I truly plan to hold right through the end, be it either ways. Just a word of caution to you all to not get swayed by ridiculous posts in the forum and try to discern logic from fantasy. Good luck!
