The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series in which Austin Smith, consumer goods editor and analyst, and Andrew Tonner, technology and media editor and analyst, discuss topics across the investing world.

In today's edition, Austin ranks his top four grocery stocks. Sounds boring, but that's where all the money is made.

Kroger and Whole Foods are just two of the success stories in this retail industry. To learn about a few, you're invited to take a look at The Motley Fool's special free report "The Death of Wal-Mart: The Real Cash Kings Changing the Face of Retail." In it, you'll see which retailers are able to consistently outperform, and how two cash kings are planning to ride the waves of retail's changing tide. You can access it by clicking here.

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!
