Most are here to make money, I would agree.

Some though are here to invest in a local Panama company in the hope of making money in the longhaul (multi years, whatever it takes).

When you see some reveling in the share price tanking, they are usually from the second category and are simply taking a shot at the first category who are complaining about the poor company performance and resulting share price. If you are hurting from the share price dropping, maybe you will leave if you think the share price is going even lower. The second category only wants to sheer on the local company and does not like the potshots the first category takes at the company management and the country. Simply put, the second category feels the first category is insulting their local company and country and is being disrespectful (which makes it personal for them).

The second category is willing to forgive and forget all that has happened with the share price in the name of national pride where as the first category is more objective about the lack of success of the company and willing to be critical (although probably overdone by a few of the more pedantic posters).
