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 –
“Freddie and Fannie have been in conservatorship for going on 12 years now – that’s ridiculous,” Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo. “It puts the taxpayers at additional risks.”
Following a memo by President Donald J. Trump, Carson said HUD, the White House, and Treasury Department, would work to “preserve the American dream” while protecting taxpayers.
“We need to learn from the things that have happened before,” Carson said. “We need to understand, for instance, that putting people into a house that they can’t afford is not doing them a favor; they lose the house; they lose the credit and they lose their future options. We have to find better solutions for that. And wise people learn from mistakes.”
The report notes that housing has been a weaker spot in the U.S. economy. As usual, that’s the kind of comment that perks up the eyes and ears of the Daily Business News on MHProNews. The industry is badly underperforming. A gathering of industry professionals following the Tunica Show agreed on that point, and others. More on that meeting of industry minds in the days ahead.
