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

In today's edition, they discuss the airline industry and its struggles. Every major airline has entered bankruptcy in the past decade, with American Airlines parent AMR (NYSE: AMR  ) continuing that trend recently.  Brendan and Andrew analyze the one stock that you should take a look at if you're bullish on this industry. 

If investing in the airline industry makes you nervous, fear not. We've uncovered a stock in another sector that we think you'll love. If you'd like to take a look at the one company that our chief investment officer has picked out for tremendous growth in 2012, check out The Motley Fool's brand new report, "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2012." It highlights a company that 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!
