In U.S. financial slang, a bagholder is a shareholder left holding shares of worthless stocks. The shareholders could be caught up in a corporate bankruptcy and accounting scandal, as was the case with Enron and Worldcom, or the victims of a pump and dump scheme, in which naive and unsophisticated investors fall victim to e-mail spam, rigged stock tip forums, or other tricks used by stock touts to drive up the shares of worthless penny stocks. The term has also been applied as a term of derision to real estate investors.〔("Still More Housing Bull," by Seth Jayson, The Motley Fool, Aug. 8, 2007 )〕 The word is derived by combining shareholder with the expression "left holding the bag." ==Real estate investment== If property is bought with the idea to sell it for a higher price, the person who is stuck owning the property is the bagholder. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bagholder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
