The 2026 stock pick game (best and worst)
Discussion
Anyone interested in playing?
Stock 1 - your pick for best performer for 2026
Stock 2 - your pick for worst performer for 2026
Rules.
Pick 2 stocks from any of the major markets.
Post their tickers and full names before midnight on 31st December. Pick 1 is best, pick 2 is worst.
Try to avoid picking a stocks that have already been picked by someone else.
No pinks / basics / commodities / etfs please.
At the end of 2026 I will compose a list of the results, assuming there are any players other than me.
I will aim to get results done for first week of Jan.
Edit - scores will be on the basis of bps gain or loss. In the event someone picks the same stock the first to post will be counted.
If we get enough entries - lets say >30 people I will do a prize for best in each category. Prizes will be posted.
No refunds...

I don't think you have mention any prizes. -
I start every year looking at a list of 25 companies.
The initial valuation report is in alphabetical order, with 0.00% all the way down the change column.
I never have any idea at all, which companies will end 12 months later, at the top and bottom of the league table.
Shows how difficult your competition will be, but there should be some interesting guess work.
Unless there is a huge upset during the next 8 days, the 2025 winner for me will be Banco Santander at + 136.2% (plus dividends received).
That reveals one possible suggestion. SAN.MC must have no chance of winning next year.
