>>What do you call someone who posts on a message board who claims to be long a stock but bashes any and every development, inference, or nuance that might possibly be seen as bullish? Help…we need a word for this.<<
My selection (until something better comes along) is:
flong
which is a contraction of faux long. flong may optionally be written as f’long, although in this form it may connote something that was not intended .
