The following video is part of a special series in which Motley Fool analyst Brendan Byrnes and "Options Whiz" Alex Pape discuss how to make 2012 the year YOU master the market.

In this edition, Brendan and Alex analyze Boeing. Sometimes investors love a company but are hesitant to simply go long or short in the stock.

In this series, part of our Options Education Month, Alex and Brendan discuss how to benefit from Boeing's tremendous future prospects while controlling its risk.
