The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which research analyst Lyons George and industrials editor/analyst Isaac Pino discuss topics around the investing world.
With Facebook's initial public offering less than two weeks away, it's more important than ever for potential shareholders to understand what kind of business they're getting into -- and if they should get in at all. Lyons and Isaac discuss signs of fatigue in Facebook's growth trajectory, and the shortcomings of an advertising-heavy business model on a platform that emphasizes socializing over selling. Not to mention: Why are so many early investors planning to sell off their stakes in the Zuckerberg empire -- including Mark Zuckerberg himself?
Every now and again, we come across a stock that has us so excited we can hardly contain our investing enthusiasm. We've uncovered one such pick with so much promise that we've dubbed it "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2012." The report highlights a soon-to-be rock-star company that's revolutionizing commerce in Latin America, and you can get instant access to the name of this company by clicking here to download it now.
