bag holder 

An investor who is on the wrong side of a stock for an extended period of time, with the consistent belief that he or she is in fact correctly predicting its direction, despite strong evidence to the contrary. Typically, this person loses most or all of his or her money in the process.

The term comes from people in soup lines during the Great Depression, who held potato bags filled with their only possessions.
"All the retail investors who bought priceline.com in early 2000 saw their investment value shrink 99% over the following year. They were the bag holders the smart traders unloaded their shares onto."

Bagholder 

A bag holder is a trader who buys a certain stock at its peak cost. The trader believes that the stock will rebound and increase in value, so they keep on holding onto the stock. The stock will most likely never reach the price the trader bought it at so, the trader ends up losing money. This phrase became popular when some members of the subreddit r/wallstreetbets bought GME at $300 and AMC at $20. These certain members continue to talk about how their investments will rebound and even make them money even though this will never happen.
Jeff: Did you know that Jimmy bought GME at $300. He is still holding onto it. He thinks it will go to $1000
Greg: Damn, Jimmy is a bagholder.
