24/7 Wall St. made a prediction of the companies that will disappear in 2013. The list included some major brands like American Airlines, Research In Motion (the makers of BlackBerry smartphones), Avon cosmetics and some other high-profile brands.

However, 24/7 Wall St. admits that it has a spotty history of predictions. The article cites its 2011 predictions that just happened to finish the year with strong financials including Sears, Sony Pictures, Kellogg’s Corn Pops and Soap Opera Digest. But the predictions are still worth a glance-over. Review the list of 10 important American brands that 24/7 Wall St. predicts will disappear by next year and vote for the company you would miss the most.

247WALLST.COM reports:
Each year, 24/7 Wall St. identifies 10 important American brands that we predict will disappear within a year. This year’s list reflects the brutally competitive nature of certain industries and the reason why companies cannot afford to fall behind in efficiency, innovation or financing.

Even then, I never really liked my Blackberry. A great device for emails, texts, and phone calls, but if you're more interested in the internet or apps of any kind, you're better off with an Android or iPhone.

Who do you mean by "they"? The airline -- like any company -- can fail if it spends more than it makes in income.

Only because my neighbor is an Avon lady and has been for decades. I don't think I'd really miss any of those mentioned. I used to have a blackberry but I wouldn't go back now that I've had a droid.
