There are also those whose sole goal is long term dividend payout, who are seeking the highest yields for their longer term investment. Those people prefer to keep the stock price down so they can buy more at the lowest price. And of course every colour in between the two opposites.
Whatever floats your boat
You will find very little (I would say NO) hyping ( or bashing ) of stocks on these Canadian Split Stock forums. Just good old honest exchange of reasoned opinion.
