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.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Yes, jobs came in lower than expectation. But it was more political news that several of the bullets above suggest send stocks tumbling again. That volatility has caused most of our tracked stocks to tumble once more.
Marko Kolanovic, Ph.D. with J.P. Morgan Chase has a perspective that will help thinkers to sort out what’s going on.
Per CNBC this evening,
- Despite a positive fundamental backdrop, markets have been pummeled in wild trading this quarter.
- “To some extent, we trace the disconnect between negative sentiment and macroeconomic reality to the reinforcing feedback loop of real and fake negative news,” wrote J.P. Morgan Chase top quant Marko Kolanovic.
- One recent example, according to Kolanovic, was the media treatment of the arrest of an executive from Chinese hardware manufacturer Huawei.
“Positive GDP and earnings are ‘reality,’ which is currently starkly disconnected from equity sentiment, valuation, and positioning,” Kolanovic said in the note.
“While higher volatility that comes with less monetary support warrants somewhat lower equity valuations, lower risk positioning, higher equity volatility and higher credit spreads, we think that the current divergence is simply too large,” Kolanovic said in the note. “To some extent, we trace the disconnect between negative sentiment and macroeconomic reality to the reinforcing feedback loop of real and fake negative news.”
China-U.S. trade tensions, and Federal Reserve policies are among the factors often cited.
MHProNews would note that at some time the issues with China, among others, had to be dealt with sooner or later. In fact, the can has been kicked down the road for some 20 years. The time to deal with these issues is now, and broadly speaking, the Trump Administration is arguably on the right path.
