The bashers are bashing to bash. I 100% believe there is nothing other than that behind it. When the stock goes up even one tick they hate it. I did too on that stock I bashed. It irritated me when someone would paint the end of day or if it closed green. I know you want to think there is more there but most likely there is not.
The longs bashing are not longs...they are flippers. If they can push it to lower levels they can double their money at 8 and 9. It is worth it for them to bash. Not as much as it was at higher levels but when a stock is at 2, you can quadruple your money at 8. It is definitely worth it for them to bash.
