The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which Motley Fool technology editor Andrew Tonner and consumer goods editor Austin Smith discuss their favorite stocks.

In today's edition, Andrew and Austin talk about the one dividend stock they'd buy, and one they'd sell going into the New Year. As many people make resolutions to get in shape, eat healthier, and be nicer, they often forget that their portfolios could probably use a similar realignment. Don't overlook this company to buy, or fool yourself into thinking the one company to sell has a secretly bright future.

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!

    The videos are waste of time in my opinion. Takes forever to get the point across. Write articles. Highlight the important points so people who can get the right information quickly will do so.
