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.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
CNBC and Bloomberg are reporting that POTUS Donald J. Trump is mulling nominating Herman Cain for the Fed.
Bullet’s from CNBC:
- Former presidential candidate Herman Cain is under consideration for a Federal Reserve governorship.
- The former Godfather’s Pizza CEO is a former chairman of the Kansas City Fed.
Video from Bloomberg:
Keep in mind the president’s style. Is this a signal for Chairman Jerome Powell too?
Cain had his one-time front runner status as a GOP presidential hopeful derailed when sexually related allegations surfaced.
But in the era of POTUS Trump, that may not matter as much as it once did. In fairness, Democratic President Bill Clinton – while scalded by lying about his affair with a White House intern under oath – won reelection inspite of that and other scandals. Why should Democrats and Republicans be held to separate standards on that point?
Editorially, we liked Cain that year well enough – right up to the point that he floated his 9-9-9 (pizza pie lingo) tax plan. Elminate the income tax, swap it for a VAT tax if you want to – as Cain proposed – but to add a new tax and not eliminate the old would be asking for future tax creep. That said, he may be a good pick for this role. We’ll keep an eye on this for industry readers.
