Our focus this evening will be two firms that already have enormous economic influence, Amazon and Apple – both of which have their own initiatives involving factory building. While the Daily Business News on MHProNews periodically spotlights the hits and misses caused by Berkshire Hathaway brands in MHVille, and their oversized influence over the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI), that must be balanced by the reality that these are not the only factors that impact HUD Code manufactured home professionals daily. An insight tonight into what Google and Amazon are doing, as they seek to increase their influence over your personal and professional life will be our focus
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.

Now, let’s consider a report today from CNBC, that spotlighted Google and Amazon’s race to see ever more of what you see, and do – and they make money from all of it, of course.
In taking a step back, and looking, one sees a trend towards a small number of mega-corporations dominating the U.S. What will that do to small business, politics, and other issues that impact manufactured housing?
