4 Stocks Making Moves

The following video is from Wednesday's Investor Beat, in which host Alison Southwick and Motley Fool analysts Jason Moser and Matt Argersinger dissect the hardest-hitting investing stories of the day.

Not all retail is created equal as quarterly earnings reports continue to show. Target and Staples missed analyst expectations and the stocks took a hit.

In this segment from Investor Beat, Jason and Matt discuss four stocks making moves on Wednesday.
