It is not signed by a trusted CA, hence your browser cannot tell if it
is speaking to your legitimate web server, or to some malware lurking
in between. Perhaps your web trafic is not worth being evesdropped, but
consider a malware could inject an exploit against your browser in your
web trafic. The attacker could just be an infected machine on the same
LAN.

The security level of an untrusted ceritificate is not much better than
plain text HTTP.
