Canaccord Genuity is out with the stocks they hate for next year. The list includes these big stocks: Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC).

Canaccord also recommends avoiding: Powerwave Technologies (NASDAQ:PWAV), Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC), and Intuit (NASDAQ:INTU). Intel makes the list because Canaccord projects worse than expected fallout from inventory issues. Intuit is scarred thanks to steep valuation in the face of ongoing SMB demand weakness. Lastly, Ericsson gets the frown due to margin pressure from sales and macro challenges.
