Actually a flipper is a short term trader or day trader that typically holds a stock up to 48 hours. But like you said everyone has their own trading style, it's just the flippers don't like it when they expect a stock to rise quickly and in this case many thought it would happen before the shareholders meeting, but unfortunately it hasn't happened so far.
My point is that they have different objectives than true longs and the company. What may be bad for a flipper/short term traders, could wind up very good for true longs and the company. Time will tell. It all depends on your perspective.
