The #1 stock picks for 2021

Welcome to one of Livewire's favourite times of the year, and we're not just talking about Christmas or summer, or having that well-earned after-work silly season cocktail. 

No, it's that very exciting moment when we invite some of the country's finest stock-pickers to put on their tipping caps and pitch which companies they believe will soar to fresh highs over the next 12 months. 

A quick look at the stocks our fundies have picked previously shows their choices reward attention.
