Mondays and talking about the ultra-uniqueness of the Weiss ratings were meant for each other like a pair of newlyweds, and going forward, you can expect my issues to come out every Monday, not Fridays.
Sure, some of us here at Weiss Ratings use the weekends to recharge, but our ratings never sleep. They’re churning the new data that comes in around the clock, and on Mondays, we can see some new results from over the weekend.
The markets may be closed, but our number crunching doesn’t … and that goes for all the things we rate … stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, banks, insurers and cryptocurrencies.
In all of the financial rating world, we are one of the few to offer ratings for that broad of an array. Currently, we rate 13,025 stocks, 2,780 ETFs, 24,635 mutual funds, 237 cryptocurrencies, 4,602 banks and 3,823 insurers.
That’s a lot of analyzing and number crunching, and it’s all happening systematically and most importantly, accurately with a strong history of accuracy. I strongly urge you to check out all of them on our ratings page …

Now, with a massive slew of earnings data rolling in, our system is working overtime. There are many reasons, but most notably due to our ratings’ diversity, I strongly argue that they’re the ...
Most Interesting Ratings in the World
You probably remember “the most interesting man in the world” commercials with this noble-looking man:
He was the spokesman for Dos Equis, and he was the face of one of the most successful advertising campaigns in modern history.
Millions of people loved this guy, including myself. I hate advertisements in general, but this was one of the few that glued me to my TV. When you can get me to watch an advertisement and actually enjoy it, that’s a testament to a great ad. And no, I don’t watch much television, but I do love watching sporting events in my rare free time.
He was the image of a person who was mature, interesting and smart — someone who had it all. Some of the commercials he was in had punchlines like, “He once ran a marathon because it was on his way,” “Mosquitos refuse to bite him purely out of respect” and “Once, a rattlesnake bit him. After five days of excruciating pain, the snake finally died.”
His name in real life is Jonathan Goldsmith, and ironically, he was homeless at one point in his life.
But who he portrayed in those incredible advertisements was a man with immense knowledge, wisdom, humility and curiosity … and all of these important qualities can be found within the Weiss Ratings and its incredible history.
Recent Major Weiss Ratings Events
Weiss Ratings has a rich 50+ year history. But in just the past few years, our ratings have encountered some incredible milestones:
2020: When the pandemic wreaked havoc on the entire economy, the company tried to do its part by helping the financial community; we made our entire ratings free to everyone who wanted them. It was a very crazy time for the market, and we wanted to help provide financial clarity to all.
2021: The organization celebrated its 50th anniversary with three major service upgrades … and the launch of high-powered data tools to help investors research, rank and choose more than 53,000 rated investments with a “watch list feature” to give investors an alert whenever there was a ratings downgrade or upgrade. And yes, we still have this amazing feature.
2023: Weiss Ratings warned that 4,243 U.S. depositary institutions could be vulnerable to failure. 1,210 (12.8%) got a red warning flag and 3,043 got a yellow warning flag. In total, 45% of all banks and credit unions were deemed vulnerable, and this was very crucial in a year with lots of banking chaos.
And just in recent weeks, we have released a new product that incorporates our incredible stock ratings system with an added AI performance-boosting feature that systematically finds stocks with a chance (many around 99%) to outperform the S&P 500 over the next 90 days.
Based on our “Buy” ratings, a total of 12,557 stock trades were possible over the past 20 years, and the average return was 296% per trade.
Don’t just take my word for it. Weiss Ratings was rated No. 1 for profit performance in The Wall Street Journal, ahead of every Wall Street firm.
I’m the editor of the Weiss Intelligence Portfolio, and spots are filling up very quickly. I urge you to click here now for more information.
You may not always look at investment ratings … but when you do, you should prefer the Weiss Ratings.
Cheers!
