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.

Focus/Featured Report – Markets/Political/Big Picture/Stock
Tom Brokaw’s Surprising Word for Democrats
Joe Concha, writing on the modestly left-of-center The Hill was one of a range of media that underscored former “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Brokaw on-air statement that Capitol Hill Democrats still don’t have “the goods” on President Trump with “the same kind of clarity” that the party did in the 1970s with Richard Nixon and that impeach probe.
Brokaw isn’t the first to say something like that, as there are a host of voices on the political right that say that the impeach probe is just another partisan hatchet job.
But when Brokaw said that to left-of-center MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Tuesday afternoon, it must have sent a shock wave through that studio, and beyond.
“The big difference [between the Nixon and Trump scenarios] is … they [the Democrats] still don’t have what you would have the goods on this president in terms of breaking the law and being an impeachable target for them,” Brokaw told MSNBC’s Mitchell.
“They’re going to start the process but they don’t have the same kind of clarity that the people who were opposed to Richard Nixon had because it was so clear that these were criminal acts he was involved in,” Brokaw said.
“The smoking gun tape, the Oval Office tapes, that kind of hard evidence of criminality to bring down a president who was successful in the Middle East, who was successful with the breakthrough to China, Vietnam is a whole other issue,” Mitchell noted in reply.
“And don’t forget about the first Russian SALT talks, you know, ones he opened up and got them going,” Brokaw said, adding, “There are no more taping systems in the Oval Office.”
“That we know of,” Mitchell replied. “That we know of,” Brokaw echoed. Indeed, would anyone be surprised if there was a recording system in place in the Oval Office?
House Democrats announced Tuesday they were moving into the next phase of their impeachment inquiry by establishing a process that at least appears more balanced, although Republicans deny that it provides President Trump the same rights as Presidents Nixon or Bill Clinton enjoyed.
But what Concha didn’t mention is this. Even if there was a quid pro quo, its likely irrelevant in a legal sense. Every foreign aid deal is tied to conditions. Conditions – one party giving this in exchange for another party doing that – are by definition a quid pro quo.
It’s another round of Russia collusion, with this similarity. It is dependent on partisans blindly following the allegations, and those who are under-informed being gaslighted.
Is it any wonder, with this political climate, that the GDP numbers have slipped, and consumer confidence is modestly dipping too? That may well be the point, along with the goal of making President Trump a one term holder of his office.
The president and his supporters are pushing back. Stay tuned for more D.C. kabuki theater.
