In the latest installment of our Motley Fool Money podcast, advisors Seth Jayson and James Early were in Fool Studio 6A while Shannon Zimmerman was piped in from his hotel room in New York City, where he was allegedly attending an investment conference. As always, the guys tackled some of the big questions of the week:

  • Warren Buffett split shares of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B) to fund the purchase of Burlington Northern Santa Fe (NYSE: BNI). Did the Oracle of Omaha overpay?
  • With unemployment going over 10% for the first time in more than 25 years, how should investors react?
  • How did Citigroup (NYSE: C) and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) get their hands on hundreds of doses of the H1N1 vaccine?
  • And of all the accommodations available in New York City, why did Shannon choose The Pod Hotel?

All that, plus hear why Aeropostale (NYSE: ARO) and Ford (NYSE: F) are the two stocks our panel is eyeing this week.
