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

In today's edition, Brendan and Austin continue their series, "The Market's Most Hated Stocks." In this series, we look at companies with significant short interest, and discuss whether we think these stocks deserve their higher short percentages. One of the companies with the highest short percentage is Coinstar, which recently signed a partnership agreement with Verizon. Do we agree with the short-sellers of these stocks, or do we think they're getting it wrong?

Our chief investment officer has found one stock that we certainly won't be shorting. That's because this company has us so excited we can hardly contain our investing enthusiasm. The 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.
