Periodic readers of this business-nightly feature should note there are new tweaks to some of the standard portions of our evening market/investing report. Read carefully as some changes of the ‘standard text’ that follows before our left-right headlines and also in other features near the end of tonight’s reports.
Every evening our headlines that follow provide snapshots from two major media outlets on each side of the left-right news spectrum that reflect topics that influence or move investor sentiment. In moments on this business evening report, you can get ‘insights-at-a-glance.’
This report also sets the broader context for manufactured housing markets, in keeping with our mantra, “News through the lens of manufactured homes and factory-built housing” ©.
We begin with headlines left-of-center CNN followed by right-of-center Fox Business. We share closing tickers and other related data courtesy of Yahoo Finance, and more. 5 to 10 minutes reading this MHProNews market report every business night could save you 30 minutes to an hour of similar reading or fact-gathering elsewhere.
Perhaps more important, you will get insights about the industry from experts that care, but also dare to challenge the routine narrative that arguably keeps manufactured housing underperforming during an affordable housing crisis.

10 Market Indicator Closing Summaries – Yahoo Finance Closing Tickers on MHProNews…
Featured Focus – Where Business, Politics and Investing Meet
In an interview with Blackstone Group Inc. chief executive officer Steve Schwarzman with Bloomberg TV, the private equity giant leader said President Donald J. Trump was seeking to defend his economic record in Davos. This was occurring at the same time the 45th president’s legal team was engaged in the start of his impeachment trial.
“This was a speech to basically say ‘I think we need some perspective and let’s look at what’s happened under this administration. That is not just for domestic consumption, it’s meant to be heard in the broader context,” Schwarzman said.
The president used his keynote speech at the World Economic Forum at Davos to tout the success of the U.S. economy. He said the nation was witnessing “an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen before,” which were creating a “geyser of opportunity.”
Schwarzman is the billionaire co-founder of New York-based private equity firm Blackstone, which is one of the firm’s that MHProNews tracks here in our nightly business report. Blackstone ‘bet big’ on manufactured housing with a move into the manufactured home community sector that was reported in the link below.
Schwarzman has previously advised President Trump and was present in the White House when he announced the first part of the China-U.S. trade deal.
Schwarzman was one of at least 119 billionaires in attendance at the annual conference in the Swiss mountains. A prior report that touched upon Davos is linked below.
Davos, Oxfam, 2020 Politics, Investing, Affordable Housing, Wealth and Manufactured Homes
Blackstone has more than $550 billion in assets under management. Per Bloomberg, it is expanding into “almost all areas of finance.”
Schwarzman was optimistic on the economy and future. “This has been an amazing run. Usually you expect some kind of adjustment,” he said. As long as U.S. politics is stable and “we avoid the kinds of major international geopolitical risks, I think we will go on with variability up and down over today’s levels.”
Blackstone has been protested by MHAction and other similar activist groups, which Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA-D) and 2020 presidential hopeful has addressed. Blackstone was recently a target of Warren‘s pointed attention. She also took aim at Colony Capital Inc. and Cerberus Capital Management. Warren has herself come under fire from not only other Democrats and private capital, but is a key figure scrutinized in Peter Schweizer’s new book “Profiles in Corruption.” MHProNews has previously signaled that such attention was likely coming toward the Warren Campaign in the prior report below.
Another target of Schweizer’s book is the former Vice President Joe Biden, who yesterday was caught on camera once more saying that China was nothing for the U.S. to worry about. Biden is accused by several sources as having ‘corruptly’ used his office to enrich family members.
Listen to the House Democratic prosecutors of the president and they claim to have a solid case. By contrast, the president’s legal team says there is no law that has been allegedly violated, so the case is constitutionally void on its face. That’s a viewpoint that Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz has taken.
The mudslinging and countercharges are well underway. Stay tuned for more of the drama on the 2020 campaign trail, here where politics, business, economic and related issues meet. See more in the related reports, below.
