Dump These 10 Stocks by Midnight Tonight

Happy New Year’s Eve! 

Dec. 31 is a full trading day. And your last chance to sell any losing stocks you don’t want to take with you into 2026.

That makes today’s Weissgiving gift your timeliest one yet.

Over the first six days of Weissgiving, you received gifts of growth, income, momentum, small-cap, resource and global stocks that your Weiss experts believe could do well in 2026.

But we’ve saved your best gift for last.

Your seventh and final Weissgiving gift was developed with Dr. Martin Weiss himself.

It’s 10 popular stocks you should avoid like the plague.

Here they are now:

 

Nike. Novo Nordisk. Intel. UPS. Moderna. Charter. Boeing. Estee Lauder. Snap. Diageo.

These aren’t obscure or speculative names. 

These are well-known, widely held stocks. The kind many investors trust simply because of their brand recognition. 

But their data shows clear signs of declining fundamentals, poor financial strength and growing downside risk.

If you own any of them, you may want to consider selling them today.

That way, you can take advantage of tax-loss harvesting …

And potentially keep some more money in your pocket when Uncle Sam comes knocking in April.

For our Weiss Ratings Plus members, today’s gift is one that keeps on giving. 

Ratings Plus members can generate a fresh list of “10 Popular Stocks You Should Avoid Like the Plague” on demand … with just one click!

 

Our 10+ terabyte financial database refreshes every day that the markets are open. 

So when trading reopens in 2026, and new data starts coming in …

These Weissgiving gifts, and the trends that power them, may already be well in motion.

So don’t wait to put your gifts to work in your portfolio. 

Our Weiss Rating system suggests that you … 

  • Sell these “out with the old” stocks before the clock strikes twelve tonight …
  • And consider buying any of the “in with the new” ideas of the past six days at your earliest convenience.

I hope you’ve enjoyed being part of our annual Weissgiving tradition. 

I especially hope your 2026 is filled with laughter, peace, good health and even better fortune.

Cheers,

Gavin Magor

Director
Ratings and Research

P.S. When the clock strikes twelve tonight, it will be too late to leave these 10 losing stocks behind in 2025 …

But when you accept the ultimate Weissgiving gift today … 

You can find buy and sell ideas like these at your leisure in 2026 and beyond …

Ideas that you can custom-select to fit your own personal investment style and goals.

It’s just one of many benefits available exclusively to Weiss Ratings Plus members.

You can use these tools and MORE for free in January …

AND lock in our lowest rate of $10/mo. for February and every month thereafter
