Could the end of quantitative easing make the moat for these tech giants even more vast?

The following video is from Wednesday's MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill, along with analysts Jason Moser and Joe Tenebruso, discuss the top business and investing stories of the day.

Notes from the most recent meeting of the Federal Reserve were released early. The Fed is thinking about ending its quantitative-easing policy this summer. The meeting was held before the release of weaker-than-expected jobs numbers. In this installment of MarketFoolery, our analysts discuss the investing implications for Apple (AAPL 0.17%), Google (GOOGL -1.34%), and Amazon.com (AMZN 0.25%).

The relevant video segment can be found between 0:20 and 7:36.
