It has been a while since we’ve spotlighted Futuro, and a video on that will be our featured focus tonight. You’ll see that beyond our standard fare, today’s graphics, the left-right headline bullets, plus manufactured housing and broader market snapshots.
Longtime 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.

Talk about a flashback. It was August 18, 2011 when MHProNews first published a report about Futuro.
On August 23, 2017 MHProNews published this report.
Utopie Plastic Showcases Futuristic French Designed PreFab Micro-Homes
This week, CNN Business filed this video report.
Per CNN, “Fifty years ago, the Futuro embodied the promise of a futuristic way of living. Here’s a look at the space age tiny home that’s reminiscent of a flying saucer and fiercely sought after by collectors.”
As the hours count down to the start of Hanukah, Advent draws to a close, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day loom, it is often a time to reflect. While people gather with family and friends, it is worth thinking about what is, what was and what could be.
As this afternoon’s massive report by our publisher reflects, the industry is underperforming for specific reasons. There have been decades of various efforts in prefab housing.
Its through the lens of history that much becomes clear.
Sears began precut prefab homes.
Later came trailer houses, then mobile homes in the 1950s and finally manufactured homes starting on June 15, 1976.
One reason we lead is our breadth of coverage. We know how to mix the heavy with the light. Futuro reminds us that the future did and still belongs to factory built housing.
We’ll see you tomorrow with more.
On that note, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
