I have read this thread w/ interest and amusement.

"My hunch is neither the data nor the trial results or approval have anything to do w/ the reason this hasn't been partnered yet. It's all profit splits, margins, capital outlay and rights/obligations. I don't think this delay has anything to do w/ afrezza."

I totally agree w/ this statement. And, for those doubting Al's business accumen, think about it - Al/MNKD has raised a few hundred million additional capital over past couple years after receiving 2 CRL's, yet Al's ownership % has remained the same. Now answer one question: how much additional capital did Al have to contribute to maintain his ownership through these dilutive financings? It reminds me of the old saying "if you sit at a poker table and don't know who the sucker is ..................."

Al has exhausted this debt for equity swap game. NOW is the time to buy the science.
