If you’re new, already hooked on our new spotlight feature – or are ready to get the MH professional fever – our headline report is found further below, after the newsmaker bullets and major indexes closing tickers.
The evolving Daily Business News market report sets the manufactured home industry’s stocks in the broader context of the overall markets. Headlines – at home and abroad – often move the markets. So, this is an example of “News through the lens of manufactured homes, and factory-built housing.” ©
Part of this unique evening feature provides headlines – from both sides of the left-right media divide – which saves busy readers time, while underscoring topics that may be moving investors, which in turn move the markets.
Readers say this is also a useful quick-review tool that saves researchers time in getting a handle of the manufactured housing industry, through the lens of publicly-traded stocks connected with the manufactured home industry.
This is an exclusive evening or nightly example of MH “Industry News, Tips and Views, Pros Can Use.” © It is fascinating to see just how similar, and different, these two lists of headlines can be.

Does Google Harm Manufactured Housing? Other Forms of Free Speech?
Ask anyone who is involved in manufactured housing marketing if Google influences their business, and they will tell you, ” yes.” So, does the influence and power of Google help or harm our industry? Can it confuse or mislead people about the reality of manufactured homes?
MHProNews has noted that while change is often feared, the history of breaking up a trust like AT&T in the 1980s resulted in more growth. There are good reasons that a growing number of experts and advocates on either side of the left-right divide want to see the FAANGs broken up. Onto the list, should be Berkshire Hathaway too.

The following are not the only purported purveyors of monopolistic moats, manipulating misinformation, or harmful policies and practices. But they are a good start. The companies listed ought to broken up under federal antitrust laws. Not regulated. Broken up. Don’t worry, the world didn’t stop when the AT&T monopoly was broken up in the 1980s, America benefited.
Want more growth and less volatility? Break up the power of those that are able to manipulate and move politics and the markets so readily.
