Here are four of the topics our analysts discuss on this weekend’s Motley Fool Money radio show:

1. LinkedIn (Nasdaq: LNKD  ) had one of the biggest IPOs of any tech company in the past 10 years. Is it a sign of how strong the business is? Or are we headed for another dot-com bubble?

2. Dell (Nasdaq: DELL  ) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ  ) both reported earnings this week. How are the tech giants faring, and how have things changed for the companies in less than a year? 

3. Limited Brands (NYSE: LTD  ) had another strong quarter. How is the parent company of Victoria's Secret getting it done?

4. Public-health organizations are calling on McDonald's (NYSE: MCD  ) to fire Ronald McDonald. What, fire Ronald? And leave Grimace in charge?

Plus, economist and author Todd Buchholz discusses the business of competition in his new book Rush: Why You Need and Love the Rat Race and the business of Broadway in the hit musical Jersey Boys.

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!
