Will a flying drone deliver your next package from Amazon?

In this video from Monday's edition of The Motley Fool's MarketFoolery podcast, host Chris Hill and Fool analysts Jason Moser and Bill Barker take a deep dive into the biggest investing stories of the day, and news from the Thanksgiving weekend.

In an interview on 60 Minutes on Sunday evening, Amazon.com (AMZN -1.72%) CEO Jeff Bezos revealed that the company is currently testing a way to use automated flying drones to deliver packages weighing less than 5 pounds to customers. The benefits could be many, but can the company overcome the numerous challenges involved? In this segment, the guys discuss the logistics of such a plan, and why they're not betting against Jeff Bezos.
