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

In honor of March Madness, The Motley Fool is running its own bracket, only it has nothing to do with basketball. We created a bracket based on performance over the next 12 months for the components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEX: ^DJI). Today, Brendan and Austin pit huge multinationals Boeing and McDonald's head to head to see which one is expected to perform the best over the next 12 months. Brendan loves Boeing's exposure to the huge commercial aviation space, which is expected to be a $4 trillion market through 2030. Austin loves McDonald's international strength, solid same-store sales, and reliable streams of revenue.

Both Boeing and McDonalds look like solid long-term bets, but our analysts have picked out three other all-star stocks that will help you retire rich. Unfortunately, we tend to underestimate how much we'll need for retirement and overestimate how much we'll make in later years. Don't be stuck putting off your retirement dreams just because you didn't read our special free report: "3 Stocks that Will Help You Retire Rich." The report won't be available forever, so we invite you to enjoy a free copy today. You can access it by clicking here.
