The Brief: The emoji combo 🧻🤲 and phrase paper hands are used by online investors to refer to someone who is quick to sell their stocks.
DEEP DIVE
A combination of the toilet paper of “roll of paper” and “palms facing upwards” emoji, 🧻🤲 is commonly used on the Wall Street Bets subreddit to characterize investors who sell their stock too early. It’s the opposite of diamond hands 💎 🤲.

The unofficial Wall Street Bets Shop website defines 🧻🤲 as “when a trader sells their stocks and securities way too early before they were able to reach max profits. Paper Hands and “Weak Hands” mean the same thing as one another on r/wallstreetbets. ”
