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 markets and stocks, at the closing bell…
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 –
With a:
- political cloud lifted from the White House,
- with political headwinds now less of a risk factor for investors,
- with the most energy independence in decades of U.S. history,
- with more manufacturing jobs being created than many thought possible,
- with the Fed signaling a moderating of their rate hikes,
- with significant media bias by numbers of news outlets on full display,
the artificial fears and/or real frustrations are mitigating. The reality of a much more business friendly economic climate – which sparked the surge of stocks after the election of Donald J. Trump, plus fundamentals, are back in vogue.
Fox Business says that the S&P 500 has had its best first quarter in 21 years.
All 11 sectors that make up the S&P marked gains of at least 5 percent, led by tech, real estate and industrials. The worst performing sector – healthcare – rose 6 percent. Tom Lee, Fundstrat Global Advisors Co-Founder, told FOX Business that investors were “too bearish late last year.” He sees more gains ahead in stocks for 2019 with the S&P hitting the 3,000 level.
- The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 11 percent,
- the Nasdaq Composite rose 16 percent helped by chip.
There is no predicting what the next whacky claim will occur in the D.C. swamp that could drive headlines that can blow back on investors. It is clear that Democrats are not happy with the summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s nearly 2 years of investigations that turned up crimes unrelated to the 2016 campaign. No evidence of Trump campaign-Russian collusion was found.
If reality and practicality could possibly take root in the public square, the old song, ‘happy days are here again,’ might once again be playing on radio stations.
Just as fraudulent claims have buffeted the White House, artificial headwinds have Buffetted – pun intended – manufactured housing. Now that the Trump Administration has cleared that hurdle, it will be interesting to see what might happen in terms of going after real issues, perhaps like antitrust, RICO, mail and wire fraud, etc.?
The truth has proven to be stranger than fiction.
The sadly dark glasses of Muellerville was no wilder than the oddities of manufactured housing struggling during an affordable housing crisis. How has that happened? Recent and prior reports lay that out.
Take heart. The truth can shine through.
