The Best Way to Maximize Your Profits From GM

The following video is part of a special series in which Motley Fool analyst Austin Smith and "Options Whiz" Nick Crow discuss how to make 2012 the year YOU master the market.

In today's edition, Austin and Nick look at how to profit creatively on GM. Austin likes GM and thinks it is very cheap right now, but is concerned that the cyclicality of the auto business could push GM lower in the short term. Nick outlines a creative way to use options to capture all of the upside on GM, mitigate risk, and still realize a large return.
