Your point that "Bashers aren't longs" is something I could never disagree with. Without the two major PRs we have seen and studied, however, I think that most of the previously negative people would be posting differently now. The "handyman" who lost his license is a case apart. There are some people who are what they are, and the only response possible is to sharpen our skills by taking the arguments and the realities to them, to dissipate the irrational side of fear they play on and fidget with..
All these situations evolve, but for now the enthusiasm and 'life force' are working strongly in favor Scrips. As always, my IMO sign held aloft.
Today's trading showed heavy volume and a good consolidation pattern. Thumbs up.
