The capacity for greed precedes the ability to be conned.The depth of the con is proportionate to the combination of hubris,and the denial of possibility that one can be conned.Growth of denial is the attempt to shift culpability from ones greed and the source of mis-information,to the most convenient receptacle at hand.After the hook of the dream is set, the hostage to the fear of loss is created. Most often within the market,the duplicity of the company is shifted to the distributor of the product. To blame the original company,would admit complicity,would admit unwise decisions and potential fallacies in the thought process. It becomes easier to absolve the offender, blame the distributors,or market makers, and sympathize with the original offender, which then leads to usually diminishing profits. It's a beautiful thing when the Stockholm Syndrome meets the Nasdaq.

>>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 :-).
