Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Full Money.

Welcome to Motley Full Money. Thanks for being here.

I'm your host, Chris Helen. I'm joined by Motley Full,

Senior Analyst, Seth Jason, James Early, and Ron Gross.

Guys, could see you as always.

Good to see you, Chris. We've got earnings from Disney and Cisco.

We've got a new notebook computer from Google,

and we've got the biggest insider trading investigation in US history.

Coincidentally, our guest this week is Diana Henriquez, author of a new book

about the inside story of Bernie Madoff and his $65 billion Ponzi scheme.

Plus, as always, we'll give you a look at the stocks on our radar.

But we begin today with the big deal of the week.

Microsoft is buying Skype, the internet telephone service,

for eight and a half billion. This gives Microsoft access to Skype's user base

of 170 million people. Microsoft has said it will integrate Skype's functions

to its Xbox game system, Windows smartphones, et cetera.

Seth Jason, I'll start with you. This is a Motley Full recommended stock.

I'm a shareholder, and I cannot shake the feeling that Microsoft just paid way too much money for Skype.

I might be the only one who thinks this deal makes some sense,

but then I don't own Microsoft's stock, so it wasn't my money if they blew on it.

What do you care? What do I care if they spend your money?
