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

In today's edition, Brendan and Andrew discuss GM and its recent January sales numbers. GM was the only major automaker to report a decrease in sales versus last January. Brendan discusses how these numbers compare to GM's peers, and why, despite this, GM is still a buy.

Brendan likes GM's potential heading into 2012, but our chief investment officer has picked out a different company that he believes is poised for tremendous growth. This stock has so much promise that we've dubbed it: "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2012." We've created a special free report for investors to uncover this soon-to-be rock star. The report highlights a company that is revolutionizing commerce in Latin America, and you can get instant access to the name of this company by clicking here to download it now.
