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 markets and stocks, at the closing bell…
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 –
OPIS Global Head of Energy Analysis Tom Kloza talks to Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo on the outlook for oil prices.
As noted in the teaser at top, rising fuel prices produces very few smiles in MHVille.
That said, those with a long-term view might bite their lip, grin and bear it if – if – the following details are kept in mind.
Iran’s regime has long fomented unrest in the Middle East, per several federal and international sources. The U.S. missed a chance in 2009, during the Obama Administration, to take steps like this one during Iran’s so-called Green Revolution. Without any noteworthy support or nod from America, the protests by the people of Iran against their regime faded.
That in turn has resulted in more U.S. military deaths and injuries, from IEDs, and other Iranian supplied attacks on our nation’s soldiers serving in the Middle East. It doesn’t just hurt the U.S., but to our regional allies. There are obvious human as well as military costs to that tragic cycle.
Fast-forward to the present.
Iranian unrest has grown since President Donald J. Trump has taken office. Popular protests have resulted in periodic clashes between government and protesters. While no one is predicting that the government there will be toppled anytime soon, it won’t happen at all if there are no pressures on the regime.
That said, there’s a clear double-standard. The U.S. understandably protests China or Russian spies and other activities in the U.S., but our nation’s espionage agencies are also engaged in similar efforts in lands around the world.
The world is what it is. It makes little sense to hide reality from “We, the People” when spy services around the world already know what the score is. While we won’t fisk some of the details in the video below, it does note the influence that Iran has been deadly for Americans and others in the region for years.
Straight talk to citizens is useful. If pressure on the Iranian regime causes it to topple, that could arguably be good for the Iranian people, and it could be good for the United States and our allies in the Middle East.
As this writer is someone who was born in Tehran, with internal insights from Iran, we bring a perspective to this topic that few in manufactured housing could.
Short term pain could be longer term gain. Many of the Iranian people want to see regime change. See related reports, further below.
