In Wednesday's MotleyFoolery podcast, host Chris Hill was joined by analysts Bill Barker and Alex Scherer in a lively discussion on the day's top business and investing stories. The segment begins with a look at the latest in 4th-quarter earnings, zeroing in on Costco (COST -0.12%) and Yum! Brands (YUM -0.18%) which both saw a significant rise in share price following positive earnings reports. The conversation then shifts to Toyota's (TM -3.23%) recall of 7.4 million vehicles, with the guys debating how shares took only a negligible 2% hit after news of the largest recall in 16 years.
