In the latest installment of our Motley Fool Money podcast, advisors Seth Jayson, Charly Travers, and Shannon Zimmerman discuss some of the big questions of the week. 

  • How threatened should Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) feel about Google’s (Nasdaq: GOOG) plan to display portions of books online?
  • Why did Steve Jobs’ hiring practices at Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) make headlines this week? 
  • Will Starbucks’ (Nasdaq: SBUX) decision to both raise and lower prices on certain drinks pay off for investors?
  • And since Google went public five years ago this week, can our panel name the only six stocks in the S&P 500 that have outperformed the search giant? (Don’t bet on it.)

All that, plus hear why Volcom (Nasdaq: VLCM), Zimmer Holdings (NYSE: ZMH), and Pacific Sunwear (Nasdaq: PSUN) are the three stocks our panel is eyeing this week.

    AMZN = YAHOO = overpriced & overvalued

    AAPL = ok but somewhat fairly priced

    SBUX = garbage
