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 MH Market Spotlight Report –
About 15 years ago, there were millions of Iranians who were hoping that the United States would invade their country, to depose “the mullahs,” and “liberate” them from their radical regime.
Iranians were largely pro-American, and pro-Western.
There are still such Iranians today. But a younger generation has grown up that’s known years and years of propaganda. While there are not public polls for such things in Iran, for obvious reasons of their general lack of freedom. There is unrest. It very much includes the young. But is it clearly pro-American, or pro-Western? That isn’t as clear cut.
As a longtime resident of Tehran, this writer still has several contacts in Iran. As both sides of the U.S.-Iranian saber-rattling have at times amped or softened war rhetoric. But the Persian people are getting a steady diet of anti-American, and anti-Trump propaganda.
Some of that propaganda comes from CNN. True. CNN is arguably not doing our nation a favor in the coverage they provide to the Iranian people.
There were opportunities missed by the Obama Administration in 2009. The Obama era deal with Iran was arguably ludicrous from the perspective of our national interest. It was equally problematic for the Iranians who yearned to be free of the radical Islamists.
We’ve noted before that the Russians have significant influence with the Iranian regime.
The Trump Administration has announced that some 1500 soldiers – not 10,000 – will be sent to the Middle East to act as an additional deterrent to the threat of Iranian aggression.
“The mullahs” – per our sources – are engaged in back-door talks with the Trump Administration.
If so, to a degree, what we’re seeing on TV is mutual saber rattling, feeding their own bases. If it wasn’t for the challenges of Washington, this could be easier for the Trump administration, but as it stands, it is more complicated than it ought to be.
This right-of-center Fox Business clip does a good job of summing up some of the economic impacts on Iran.
The Iranian people are struggling. Will it fuel another round of Iranian unrest, aimed at replacing their Islamic regime? Will cooler heads prevail?
