To help pick out the signal from the noise, Business Insider decided to reach out to some of the best equity analysts in the US to ask a handful of key questions.

The analysts all rank as the best in their sector in Institutional Investor's 44th annual #1 All-American Equity Research Team.

The ranking is based on a questionnaire of 3,800 individuals across over 1,000 finance firms - representing about $11.3 trillion in assets under management.

We asked them four key questions: What is your top buy? What is your top sell? What is the key theme in the industry? What is it that everyone else is missing?
