bag holders

Left with losses

Bag holders are investors left holding assets that have dropped dramatically in value—stuck with the bag while others sold in time.

The term is common in cryptocurrency and stock trading communities, often used mockingly: Don't be a bag holder—set your stop losses.

Someone who bought at the peak and watched prices crash is a bag holder, waiting and hoping for a recovery that may never come.
