In this episode of Industry Focus: Financials, host Jason Moser and Fool.com contributor Matt Frankel, CFP discuss why mall REITs like Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG) are soaring by more than 20% on the news and some of the biggest U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) are up by double digits as well. And let's not forget that we're still in earnings season -- we'll also discuss what investors should know about the latest results from Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B), Square (NYSE: SQ), PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL), and more.
