Can Best Buy Bounce Back?

The following video is from Tuesday's MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill and Motley Fool analysts Mike Olsen and Taylor Muckerman take a Foolish deep dive into the biggest investing stories of the day.

To the surprise of bears everywhere, prior to its earnings release yesterday,Best Buy was the best-performing stock of the S&P 500 for 2013.
