I have uploaded a photo on “To the Moon with my friends”, hopefully the price of the stocks holding by all my friends and me will go high up to the moon soon after suffering for many months in the sea of red.

To prove that I am a stock trader, I would like to share some interesting Investing Buzzwords often used by investors:

Diamond hands

Diamond hands is an expression that signifies a high risk tolerance. If you have diamond hands, it means you are the type of investor who won't panic and sell off your holdings during big price fluctuations.

Paper hands

Paper hands refers to someone who has a low-risk tolerance for high volatility stocks. Paper hands is to describe someone who sells a stock too early usually because they feel that the risk of losing money is too high.

To the moon

To the moon describes the future increase in value of a stock. It could also describe the rapidly increasing value of an asset; in such a case, we could say it was heading ‘to the moon’.

Apes together strong

In investing-speak, these ‘apes’ refer to investors who unite to outlast those who are selling a stock or asset.

Bagholder

A ‘bagholder’ is an individual who still holds onto their investments even though the price has dropped significantly and everyone else has let go of theirs.

HODL

HODL was initially a drunken typo by GameKyuubi in the Bitcointalk forum. It has since become one of the most popular terms in stocks and cryptocurrency culture to describe holding onto your coins or investments even if it means taking heavy losses due to market fluctuations. It is now also known as an acronym for ‘hold on for dear life’.

Tendies

‘Tendies’, a slang for chicken tenders, refers to financial gains made from investments. It stems from a brand of self-deprecating humour where traders, especially from WallStreetBets, imply that they lived with their parents and exist on a diet of chicken tenders.

Whale

‘Whale’, also known as a ‘market maker’, is an individual or group of individuals who hold a large amount of an asset and can therefore manipulate the market price.
