Should This Company Invest in a Rival?

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which industrials editors and analysts Isaac Pino and Brendan Byrnes discuss topics across the investing world.

In today's edition, Isaac and Brendan discuss Zipcar's recent foray into the peer-to-peer car-sharing business.
