The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which David Williamson, health-care editor and analyst, and Brendan Byrnes, industrials editor and analyst, discuss topics around the investing world.
In today's edition, David and Brendan discuss some of the worst health-care stocks of 2011. These stocks fit relatively neatly into three categories: failure to launch, trial troubles, and home health-care scare. This video focuses on failure to launch -- i.e., companies whose drug candidates made it through the rigorous approval process only to be met with a lukewarm (or downright cold) commercial reception. They also discuss which of the downtrodden stocks are likely to get sales rolling in 2012.

5 of Last Week's Biggest Winners in 2012
What's better than momentum? Mo' momentum.
Let's take a closer look at five of this past week's biggest scorchers.
An analyst reiterated his "speculative buy" rating on MoSys after the memory specialist raised money by selling off dozens of its patents.
Investors cheered Endeavor's endeavor as the energy company is acquiring ConocoPhillips' interest in a few Central North Sea oil fields in a $330 million transaction that will boost its profile.
RAM Energy Resources continues to tack on gains after a recapitalization announced the week b! efore. T he sale of oil and natural gas acreage, as well as a $550 million stake acquired by an industry veteran, have combined to give the company brighter prospects.
Finally we have Arctic Cat proving that it's one cool cat. The maker of snowmobiles and ATVs announced that it will buy back the 33% stake in the company owned by Suzuki Motor at a healthy discount.
It was a great week for these five stocks. If you want to get an early read on some of tomorrow's major gainers, there's a special report on three hidden winners in a booming industry. The report is free -- like this article -- but it won't be around forever, so check it out now.
