The Best-Performing Food and Beverage Stocks of 2011

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

In today's edition, they discuss the top food and beverage stocks of 2011 and look at whether they'll repeat in 2012. Many of these stocks have interesting stories, but not all of them are winners. Austin is thumbs-up on Smart Balance and still uncertain about Green Mountain. Watch to see how the rest of the companies stack up for the next year.

A lot of investors may look at these returns and feel dismayed at what could have been. The good news is we're calling out "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2012" in a special free report. We believe that one broad-line retailer has the potential to be on the "best-performing list of 2012" a year from now. It has huge emerging-market opportunities and is revolutionizing commerce in Latin America. You can get instant access to the name of this company by clicking here -- it's free.

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!
