Clarify how emotional conviction has anything to do with making money in the stock market.

The presence of cheerleaders means that there are people who wouldn't sell. Plus some of the cheerleaders themselves and a few of the gullible ones that follow them would buy the stock. This will set the stage for a rally.

Once the price gets beyond what it was when the downleg started, it will be viewed as "proof" that everything is fine and dandy. And from then on, the next downleg to a lower low will begin, maybe after a few late stragglers have pushed it to slightly higher levels for a day or two.

Remember this is still very much a story stock. If you closely watched the cheerleaders and made independent decisions, without believing what they said, you can make pretty good trading gains here. At least that is the idea. But if you believed them, then you are doomed too, along with them.
