DEAD MONEY

This is what you call a money that has been invested in a security with small hopes of appreciation or earnings in return. The stock is also referred like a dead money by experts for those investors who will purchase the shares. Funds that are not earning interest or income are known as dead money. Some investors will hold a stock despite recent price drops, hoping that it will turn around and earn back some of the lost value. However, if the investment is dead money, the likelihood of a turnaround is low, and investors should consider selling the shares before incurring additional losses.
