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 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 –
There are dozens of stories that get lightly covered in the mainstream media, for whatever reason.
Among them is the ticking time bomb left by the mushrooming budget deficits during the prior two administrations. Candidate and U.S. Senator Barack Obama called out President G.W. Bush for his huge deficits. Once president, POTUS Obama proceeded to double the national debt in 8 years. The vast majority of the federal debt came during the 16 years of the G.W. Bush and Barack H. Obama Administrations.
Those debts require debt service payments. As interest rates rise, the cost of debt services is rising too.
In a practical sense, the only option the federal government had – other than eventual insolvency or ‘hyper-inflation’ (more aptly, dramatically devalued monetary value) – was to fuel much faster economic growth. A look at Venezuela is a sobering reminder of what America wants to avoid.
With that backdrop, what progress is being made?
Two items will be quickly reviewed, that are interconnected.
According to the White House press room, “The American economy is continuing its longest monthly streak of positive job growth in history, with 3.9 million jobs added since President Donald J. Trump was elected.”
“Today marks just the eighth time since 1970 that unemployment has fallen below 4 percent—with three of those occasions occurring in 2018. This success is good news for everyone, but it’s crucial for communities that have struggled historically: The unemployment rate for Hispanics has reached another all-time low, and unemployment for individuals with less than a high school diploma fell to its lowest mark since the series began in 1992,” said the Oval Office’s media room to the Daily Business News.
“Just as important: Jobs are paying better. Significant wage gains had been a missing piece of the economic “recovery” since the Great Recession, CNBC reports, but that reality is changing under President Trump. “Compensation for workers rose to a nearly 10-year high in the second quarter,” Jeff Cox writes.
With that backdrop, Fox Business notes that “(SNAP) – commonly known as food stamps – since Trump’s first full month in office, the data showed. Food stamp enrollment in May 2018 was 39,329,356 versus 42,134,301 in February 2017.”
