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 –
Congressman Doug Collins, R-GA, on the antitrust probe of tech companies and the battle over border security, is featured in an interview earlier today by Maria Bartiromo of right-of-center Fox Business.
Investors who ‘move’ have faced a daunting set of challenges in the last year or so. Political events have often overshadowed economic realities.
In recent days, the following issues have boiled to the surface in more urgent ways:
· The revelation that antitrust probes are targeting big tech companies.
· The border crisis has sparked a threat by the 45th president of tariffs on Mexico, if they don’t control the flow of migrants across their country coming to cross the U.S.-Mexican border illegally.
· Right or wrong, the Federal Reserve has been under fire for their handling of rate hikes and the unwinding of their Obama era QE buys to prop up the markets.
· The Chinese trade and tariff tussle is to a serious degree also motivated by their communist government’s calculus about U.S. domestic politics.
The mantra that investor crave certainty is as true now as before, but D.C. politics is arguably deliberately targeting the tax and regulatory policy changes in 2017, with the aim of cooling an economy that otherwise will propel the 45th president to reelection.
As this is going to press, Mexican and U.S. talks are underway. Mexico’s border with their neighboring Central American countries is less than 10 percent that of the U.S. Mexico border. Resolving that issue could be a useful step in addressing a growing backlog of international and domestic challenges in a highly partisan Washington. More will be known in the hours and days ahead.
The final point ought to be manufactured home specific. HUD Secretary Ben Carson is arguably doing more about promoting manufactured homes as an important part of the solution to the affordable housing crisis as the nation has seen in a good two decades. But there are evidence-based reasons to believe that he’s not getting all the facts about two words that if understood and enforced by HUD could make the difference. Those two words? Enhanced preemption.
In this raucous market and investment environment, what ought to be a continual bright spot is manufactured housing. Learn more why it is underperforming at the report linked below.
