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. 

  • The economy grows more than expected in the third quarter, but still gets compared to Weekend At Bernie’s II. That can't be good, can it?
  • With Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT), Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Target (NYSE: TGT) engaging in a book-selling war, which company is best positioned to win?
  • With McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) closing all of its locations in Iceland, who should be more upset: investors, or anyone looking for good food in Iceland?
  • And once and for all, what is the best Halloween candy?

All that, plus hear why Johnson & Johnson  (NYSE: JNJ), Petrobras (NYSE:  PBR), and Volcom (Nasdaq: VLCM) are the three stocks our panel is eyeing this week.

    1. The economy did NOT grow....the GOVERNMENT did.

    2. Look at the three and find the one with least debt and the most cash......enough said.

    3. Neither

    And as for as the ones you'll got your eyeball on....a one arm blind man could do better.
