On today's edition of "MarketFoolery," the new daily podcast from The Motley Fool, we dig into the following topics.

Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL  ) and Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN  ) are set to do battle again, this time in a courtroom. Amazon opened its app store for Android smartphones. Apple claims it holds the "App Store" trademark. How strong is Apple's case? Will Amazon be forced to cave? And which stock do our analysts believe will perform better over the next five years?

Winnebago Industries (NYSE: WGO  ) says that higher oil prices are hurting sales of its recreational vehicles. With an aging customer base, how bright is Winnebago's future? And why is Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG  ) in a much better position to thrive over the next few decades?

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 owns shares of Amazon and really hopes Apple doesn't sue him for having the phrase "app stores" in the headline. Apple and Amazon are recommendations of Motley Fool Stock Advisor. The Motley Fool's disclosure policy is undefeated in battles of skill and magic.
