>>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.<<
I also had the idea of a combination/contraction word to describe a Short posing as a Long.
The 2 words to mash together are Short and Long, the result being: ShLong.
Resemblance to another word (slang or otherwise) is completely accidental, but surprisingly accurate. :^)
