As 2015 comes to an end,
Fortune compiled a list of the five worst investment classes and ideas that plagued investors during the year. 1. Oil/Energy: 25 of the worst 30 performing stocks within the S&P 500 index were stocks in the energy sector. 2. Micron Technology, Inc. MU: Shares of Micron fell more than 58 percent in 2015 as the company "completely whiffed on its earnings expectations." 3. Brazil: 2015 proved to be a difficult environment for emerging markets, but a slowdown of growth in China hurt countries like Brazil which depend on exporting its commodities to China. 4. Wynn Resorts, Limited WYNN: Wynn Resorts caters to "China's economic elite" which also happens to be a group that has been "wary to sped." 5. Macy's, Inc. M: Macy's sheer size isn't "enough to save it" from ongoing shifts in the retail industry. In addition, consumers have shown a willingness to "move away" from its "bread-and-butter" products - apparel.
