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 Big Movers
For all the scores and highlights on tracked manufactured home connected stocks today, see the Bloomberg graphic, posted below.
Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
During years of dark days, Nike stood by Tiger Woods. When Tiger won the Masters, within hours, Nike had a video commercial ready to celebrate the event. On a day when the markets were largely down, Nike was up, said MarketWatch. NKE, +0.68%. ‘
“Tiger Woods, battling back from an injury- and scandal-ridden decade that almost derailed his career for good, just accomplished what many believed to be an impossibility: his fifth Masters victory,” said MarketWatch.
”In one of the greatest comeback stories in the history of sports,” MarketWatch said, “Woods earned the famed green jacket on Sunday by shooting a 13-under par 275 to finish one stroke ahead of Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka.”
The takeaway here is simple. Nike saw a headline, and they jumped on it. In their case, the headline was a positive one, and they made the most of it. It’s buzzing on social media.
Why doesn’t the trade association that says it represents “all segments of factory-built housing” – the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) use a similar principle? Why don’t they have a rapid response team that jumps on good headlines, and strikes back to correct bad ones?
MHI has a much larger staff and budget than this platform and our sister site, MHLivingNews. But by rapidly responding to the Last Week Tonight with John Oliver “Mobile Homes,” our sister site has ended up page one, near the top on that search term.
Instead, Frank Rolfe, who ironically was tagged by Oliver in that video, ended up quite correct about this prior critique of the trade association he is now a more muted member of, MHI.
ICYMI, see the two reports linked below, that point once more to reasons why manufactured housing is underperforming. Congratulations to Woods, and may more manufactured housing leaders learn the never quit, and “just do it” response lesson.
