diamond hands

Hold through crashes

Diamond hands describes the resolve to hold an investment through dramatic price swings, especially losses, without selling.

The term emerged from online trading communities where paper hands (selling at the first sign of trouble) is the opposite vice.

Someone with diamond hands believes their position will eventually pay off: I'm not selling—diamond hands forever.

Often used with the 💎🙌 emoji combination.
