paper hands
Sells at loss
Paper hands describes an investor who sells at the first sign of trouble, lacking the nerve to hold through volatility.
The term emerged from online trading communities, contrasting with diamond hands—those who hold regardless of price swings.
Someone with paper hands panics easily: He sold at the first dip—total paper hands.
The image suggests hands too weak or fragile to grip an asset through turbulence.
