A slang term for an investor who holds their position through volatility and refuses to sell despite losses or pressure. Someone with diamond hands is committed to their investment and doesn't panic during downturns. The term comes from the idea that their hands are so strong they won't break.
You buy a stock at $50. It drops to $25 over three months, and everyone tells you to sell. But you believe in the company and hold anyway. Your diamond hands decision pays off when the stock rises back to $75.
