The following video is from Tuesday's MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill, along with analysts Joe Magyer and Matt Argersinger, discuss the top business and investing stories of the day.

Shares of Office Depot (NYSE: ODP  ) and OfficeMax (NYSE: OMX  ) were soaring this morning on reports that the two companies are discussing a merger. Would a merger help the companies fend off Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN  ) ? What would a merger mean for Staples (NASDAQ: SPLS  ) ? In this installment of MarketFoolery, our analysts discuss the merits of Google stores and the implications for investors.
