Regular readers please note there are a few tweaks to some of the standard portions of our evening market/investing report. Read carefully as some changes of the ‘standard text’ that follows before our left-right headlines and also in other features near the end of tonight’s reports.
Every evening our headlines that follow provide snapshots from two major media outlets on each side of the left-right news spectrum that reflect topics that influence or move investor sentiment. In moments on this business evening report, you can get ‘insights-at-a-glance.’
This report also sets the broader context for manufactured housing markets, in keeping with our mantra, “News through the lens of manufactured homes and factory-built housing” ©.
We begin with headlines left-of-center CNN followed by right-of-center Fox Business. We share closing tickers and other related data courtesy of Yahoo Finance, and more. 5 to 10 minutes reading this MHProNews market report every business night could save you 30 minutes to an hour of similar reading or fact-gathering elsewhere.
Perhaps more important, you will get insights about the industry from experts that care, but also dare to challenge the routine narrative that arguably keeps manufactured housing underperforming during an affordable housing crisis.

10 Market Indicator Closing Summaries – Yahoo Finance Closing Tickers on MHProNews…
Tonight’s Business/Market/Political Impact Spotlight –
It is obvious that both billionaire and former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Secretary Hillary Clinton want to be president. But wanting and doing are sometimes two different things.
Why Secretary Clinton has decided to take aim at Representative Tulsi Gabbard (HI-D) is an interesting question, but we won’t speculate on Ms. Clinton’s whims tonight.
Clinton may not yet be out of the woods regarding allegations of corruption, the email scandal, and more. Not in the mind of Trump Attorney General William Barr. How that plays out would likely be a factor for her.
Bloomberg has the money and can do what he wants.
Gabbard is one of the 2020 Democratic hopefuls that holds some more moderate positions, but so too does former Rep. John Delaney or Senator Amy Klobuchar.
Here are three right-of-center Fox interviews that cover various aspects of the topics under discussion.
FOX Business‘ Charlie Gasparino discusses Tulsi Gabbard reportedly planning to privately meet with Wall Street executives in New York City and Judge Judy’s endorsement for a Michael Bloomberg presidency.
RealClearPolitics associate editor A.B. Stoddard discusses Hillary Clinton suggesting Democratic hopeful Tulsi Gabbard is an agent of Russia.
Former Clinton adviser Philippe Reines on Hillary Clinton considering a 2020 run.
What’s interesting is that on the one hand, polling claims that almost every Democrat could beat President Donald J. Trump. If so, why are so man Democratic insiders worried? Are the thinking about how polling missed in 2016?
More on the 2020 race is found in the related reports, further below.
