3 Stocks on Our Radar

In the latest installment of our Motley Fool Money podcast, advisors Seth Jayson, James Early, and Shannon Zimmerman tackle some of the big questions of the week.

One year after the market meltdown, we ask: Why did Uncle Sam bail out AIG (NYSE: AIG ) and Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) , but not Lehman Brothers?
When Steve Jobs showing up is the big headline of his company's media event, is it possible the hype around Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) is getting just a little out of control?
Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO ) CEO Carol Bartz says she would have taken last year’s offer from Microsoft. Is that straight talk or a serious distraction?
And which public company may have erred in sending a surprise package to get Seth Jayson's attention?

All that, plus hear why WellPoint (NYSE: WLP ) , Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO ) , and General Mills (NYSE: GIS ) are the three stocks our panel is eyeing this week.

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!

How is that short on YHOO treating you Fools? About as well as the short on Ford I guess. Are you guys ever right or do you pride yourselves on being wrong. If I could sum you guys up in a phrase it would be "we invest looking in the rear view mirror". As I have said before...I know I am on the right side of a trade if you guys are on the other.
Thanks for being you...

What are you talking about? There is not, to my knowledge, any "short" on either Yahoo or Ford by any Motley Fool product.

I like the comment:

Thats too Funny, it reminds me of Intel's new T.V. commercial where the guy walks in and everyone acts like their at a concert, then the announcer says something like " Our Rock Stars are a Little Different Than Yours ", not exactly, but similar.
You get the idea, or maybe Steve Job's stole the idea, or could it have been Intel? You Decide.........
