The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which industrials editor/analyst Isaac Pino and research analyst Catherine Baab-Muguira discuss topics across the investing world.
In today's edition, Isaac and Cat sound off on Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, and Caterpillar, the largest heavy equipment manufacturer.

Allegations of bribery cast a dark shadow over Wal-Mart's Mexico operation, which the company once held up as a model for international expansion. Meanwhile, Caterpillar is trying to bulldoze its way into a Chinese market that is proving tough to penetrate. Which company offers better prospects for your portfolio? Check out the video below to hear the case for each Dow stock.
