A "newbie or uninformed investor" in the context of trading stocks on a forum refers to someone who reacts emotionally, often with complaints or excuses, when their trades go poorly, instead of owning their decisions. They might blame external factors—like market manipulation, bad advice, or platform issues—rather than acknowledging their own misjudgments, lack of research, or poor risk management. For example, they could post rants about losses, accuse others of "pumping and dumping," or whine about volatility without reflecting on their strategy or preparation.
This behavior typically includes:
Refusing to accept losses as part of trading.
Pointing fingers at brokers, influencers, or market conditions.
Seeking sympathy or validation on the forum instead of learning from mistakes.
Ignoring their own role in entering or exiting trades at inopportune times.
Such traders often lack accountability, fail to analyze their errors, and may repeat the same mistakes, expecting different outcomes
