On today's edition of "MarketFoolery," the new daily podcast from The Motley Fool:

Strong earnings from retailers, including Limited Brands (NYSE: LTD ) . How are they getting it done? Is a new strategy from women shopping at Victoria's Secret at play? (It's a theory I'm pretty sure you won't be hearing on NPR.)
On Wednesday, the New York City Council banned smoking in parks, beaches, and Times Square. Will Altria Group (NYSE: MO ) be affected, or will the popularity of Mad Men cause NYC to rethink the decision?
The CEO of Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK ) predicts 2012 will be a turning point for his company. (He knows shares of Kodak are down more than 80% over the last 5 years, right?)

We put Kodak up against RadioShack (NYSE: RSH ) and The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT ) and have our panel pick which will be the first to lose its status as a stand-alone public company.

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!

Chris Hill appreciates the fine work of the good people at Victoria's Secret as much as anyone, but he doesn't own shares of any of the companies mentioned. The Motley Fool's disclosure policy has never missed an episode of Mad Men.
