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 Can Meet
Let’s begin with the obvious. As several Democratic analysts and commentators said following the last Democratic debate in Nevada, the winner of the debate was President Donald. J. Trump. USA Today said that nearly 2/3rds of surveyed voters expect the 45th president to win reelection.
The types of more moderate candidates on the Democratic side – Senator Amy Klobuchar (MN-D), Representative Tulsi Gabbard (HI-D), or former Congressman John Delaney are sliding or have dropped out. While pundits say that former Vice President Joe Biden should not be counted out, what the first three outings and each debate has proven is that he doesn’t have what it takes to cross the finish line – at least, not on the first ballot.
Pro-Democratic media outlets and personalities have been putting the thumb on the scales with respect to Senator Bernie Sanders for some weeks. Their arguments are often sound ones. But it calls into question their objectivity.
One of several examples is MSNBC’s Christ Matthews. Matthews has said that socialism “doesn’t frickin’ work” and that warned about “executions in Central Park.” Again, they are valid concerns, but as a news anchor, wouldn’t it be better to frame it as a question put to the candidate?
Socialism Doesn’t Frickin Work
Executions in Central Park
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is arguably being written off too soon, based on a weak debate performance last week. Tuesday’s South Carolina debate will shed more light on the topic. But another $1.5 billion in possible political advertising can buy a lot of forgetfulness. The Bloomberg campaign is reportedly giving out free meals to attract attendees, is buying influencers on social media and a range of tactics that could make it look like there is a groundswell of support for his candidacy. Sanders won Nevada handily, where Bloomberg was not yet on the ballot.
Per CNBC, the Bloomberg campaign is preparing media onslaught against Democratic front-runner Bernie Sanders.
- Mike Bloomberg’s presidential campaign plans to unleash its cash-flush media operation against Bernie Sanders in the wake of the Vermont senator’s resounding victory in the Nevada caucuses.
- Senior aides to Bloomberg’s campaign have been discussing how they are going to use some of their resources against Sanders, sources said.
- The campaign, which has already spent over $500 million on media ad buys, plans a multipronged attack, including the publication of opposition research on Sanders, the sources added.
The Bloomberg campaign ads above and below are examples of slick production that can frame him in glowing terms.
As the Real Clear Politics average has reflected, he has surged to 2nd or 3rd in several polls as a result of 1/2 a billion in ad buys.
With Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA-D) having dropped her pledge to avoid SuperPAC donations, and former Mayor Pete Buttigieg having a serious problem with minorities and his own track record in South Bend, barring a miracle for Klobuchar or Gabbard, so long as Bloomberg stays in, it could in a matter of weeks be a two person race for the Democratic nomination. MHProNews would editorially favor long-shots Klobuchar or Gabbard among the remaining candidates on the Democratic side. But it is increasingly looking like Bloomberg vs. Bernie.
For those who think that neither one could beat President Trump, the Trump Campaign itself would say they are confident but encourage voters to behave as if they were a few points down in a close match. Perhaps the nightmare scenario for the Trump campaign would be if Sanders wins the nomination and Bloomberg would support Sanders with his massive financial and media resources. MHProNews will continue to monitor and handicap the campaign..
