Avoid following the bag holders on X.
A bag holder is an investor who buys a stock near its peak or as it enters a stage 4 and continues to hold it as the price declines significantly.
Bag holdering frequently results from common cognitive biases, particularly the reluctance to acknowledge mistakes. In behavioural finance, the disposition effect describes the tendency to sell winning positions prematurely while retaining losing ones, a pattern associated with loss aversion and the expectation of eventual recovery.
Bag holders keep adding to the position mainly to “lower their average”, throwing good money after bad.
Own leaders, not laggards!
