The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which Fool analysts John Reeves and Jason Moser discuss topics across the investing world.

This year's holiday season was mostly positive for retailers. John and Jason talk about the winners and losers. Jason highlights two winners and two losers, and explores what differentiates them. The video concludes with a consideration of the future of one of this year's big losers.

Amazon.com is just one of the success stories of the retail industry. To learn about a few more, I invite you to take a look at The Motley Fool's special free report: "The Death of Wal-Mart: The Real Cash Kings Changing the Face of Retail." In it you'll see which retailers are able to consistently outperform, and how two cash kings are planning to ride the waves of retail's changing tide. You can access it by clicking here.

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!
