The following video is part of our nationally syndicated Motley Fool Money radio show, with host Chris Hill talking with advisors Ron Gross, James Early and Charly Travers. In this segment the guys analyze the recent challenges at Diamond Foods. In the wake of a management shake-up that had shares falling 40% in a single day, the guys discuss whether Diamond can salvage a multi-billion dollar deal with Procter & Gamble.

One of the keys for companies like Procter & Gamble is being able to expand into, and eventually dominate, emerging markets.  The Motley Fool highlights companies that are doing just that in a brand-new free report, "3 American Companies Set to Dominate the World."  You can get instant access to the names of these companies simply by clicking here – it's free.

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!

    This radio spot added no new news or views toward the current situation. They must have needed to kill some time. How about talking about the chances for a deal to still come through or the likelyhood of still more bad news to come and just how bad it could get and why? Should you hold, buy or sell? Give me a bear and give me a bull....lets have some real discussion!!!

    The panic drop has created a "buy when there's blood in the street" scenario. Short-sellers will of course paint a "gloom and doom" picture, but for Heaven's sake, the only difference between today and Wednesday is that we all now have confirmed what was already known for months. So there's two payments that were recorded incorrectly ..... big deal. The net effect will be zilch and while challenges await, the bad apples are gone and the interim CEO used to be the head hancho (CEO) at Del Monte. Management has what it takes to turn this ship around. Good grief, let's give the company some credit, as they grew revenues by 42% in 2011 YOY. Pringles? Who cares if the deal falls through.

    For me, looking at the numbers, it's trading way below liquidation value at this time.

    At it's current valuation, they can afford to buy back all their stock and go private, with plenty of cash left over. Sometimes the market works in weird ways.

    What do you guys think about their credit situation? Do you think BofA, Keybanc and the rest will make DMND renegotiate at higher rates? What do you think about the walnut growers refusing to renew contracts. Do you think this will be a snowball effect with other product providers? Walnut wars? What do you think about more bad news about other payments that are discovered, if any?
