The following video is part of our daily MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill and analysts Jason Moser, Jeff Fischer, and Joe Magyer discuss the day's business and investing news. Shares of Amazon.com fell 12% after less-than-awesome earnings. The guys share their thoughts on the company's competitors, from Apple to Wal-Mart, and what they think investors should be focusing on when it comes to Amazon's business.

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?

    Quadruple Internet Traffic by 2015 sounds awesome until you look at the Eurozone...

    Or America's 9.1% unemployment rate and anemic GDP growth...

    Where will this quadruple of people on the internet find money to buy Amazon Goods?

    Perhaps Amazon will enter into the Food Insurance business.
