Summary

The stock market is plunging, with the S&P 500 down by more than 18% from its all-time highs reached earlier this year. While this can certainly seem scary, Industry Focus: Financials host Jason Moser and Fool.com contributor Matt Frankel, CFP are here to help make sense of things. In this episode, we talk about the market turbulence, why bank stocks have been especially hard-hit, two areas of real estate that could have some good long-term investment ideas, and more.

Jason and Matt also dive into the recent news involving JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon's health scare, and why the bank will be fine no matter who is at the helm (although we certainly wish Mr. Dimon a quick and speedy recovery). Plus, we'll dive into another installment of "What's the Last Stock You Bought and Why," in which you'll hear why Matt has put some money into Tanger Factory Outlet Centers (NYSE: SKT) and Ryman Hospitality Properties (NYSE: RHP) in the midst of the market volatility.
