On today's MarketFoolery podcast, we dig into the latest earnings. Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) continues strong international growth, but should it borrow a page from PepsiCo's (NYSE: PEP) "snackify" strategy? At the 3:30 mark, we discuss Goldman Sachs' (NYSE: GS) report of a rare loss and Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC) $6.2 billion profit.
