We reported Friday that it was the best first quarter in years. If stocks kept up this pace, before the end of this week, the leading markets would have recaptured – and surpassed – all time highs. Left-of-center CNBC interviewed 5 analysts which will be our focus this evening on a good day for most manufactured home tracked stocks.
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 –
“Stocks jumped on Monday as strong manufacturing data out of the U.S. and China eased worries of a possible global economic slowdown,” said CNBC.
- The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 329.74 points to 26,258.42…Monday’s session also marked the Dow’s first close above 26,000 since Feb. 26.
- The S&P 500 climbed 1.2 percent to 2,867.19 as the financials sector outperformed.
- The Nasdaq Composite closed 1.3 percent higher at 7,828.91 on gains from Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Alphabet.
“The momentum is still positive and we’re constantly drifting higher,” said Michael Katz, partner at Seven Points Capital. “Barring any bad news, that’s going to be the case until we do get some sort of bigger piece of macro news.”
While the economy may not have quite the steam it did in 2018, following the tax cuts, there are still plenty of positive indicators that the market is performing significantly better during this administration than the prior one, when much of the markets were arguably being propped up by Fed policies, QEs, and other artificial stimulus, like the cash for clunkers, etc.
