11 of Wall Street's top analysts reveal their favorite stock picks

Once in a while, it's good to step back and take stock of the state of things.

So we asked some of the best stock pickers on Wall Street to help us get a better idea of what is happening out there. Which companies are set to do well in the next year, and who wont?

We asked analysts from the Institutional Investor's All-American Research Team the same four questions about the sector they specialize in.

1. What is your top stock pick?
2. What is the stock you think will underperform?
3. What is the biggest trend in your industry?
4. What is something that everyone else is missing?

Their answers help paint a big picture of several sectors, and their advice might even help your portfolio.
