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…
Manufactured Housing Composite Value (MHCV)
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 –
“You don’t try to reason with abject ignorance,” said Rush Limbaugh on his show today. “You can’t. You must defeat it.” While one could debate the pro, con or application to this topic, it’s a fun segue from conservative talk radio flagship of the golden EIB microphone back to Washington, D.C. based comments on this progressive-leaning Boston Globe column.
“The left loses when its exposed, conservatives lose when they are silent,” said a caller on Limbaugh’s show today. “If we show [conservatives, Republicans] show up [at the polls], we will win every single time.”
Does that reasoning apply to this evening’s spotlight?
Rasmussen, which was one of the most accurate polls in 2016, said that President Donald J. Trump’s approval with African Americans stands at 36 percent.
For those who don’t track this closely, historically, the black vote for decades has been over 90 percent Democrat. Candidate Trump told blacks in 2016, “What have you got to lose?” in his ask for their vote.
With record low black unemployment, less than 2 years after his election, and the president mentioning that record at every one of his rallies, his popularity with blacks has steadily risen.
Part of the reason are black Christian leaders, along with pundits like those in the photo collage, below, who in many cases have come out for President Donald J. Trump.
MHProNews has tracked this trend since before the 2016 voting, using it as part of our basis for projecting the path to victory for POTUS Trump over candidate Hillary Clinton.
There are certainly more celebrities that tend to support Democrats, and it has been that way for years. Taylor Swift’s recent announcement of support for anti-Trump candidates is nothing new on the political or media scene.
Another recent survey of mainstream media (MSM) coverage of the president says that their reports are some 92 percent tilted against POTUS #45. But trust in media is also dropping. Millions realize or are discovering the reality of media bias to a degree that per reports may be near historic levels. The Columbia Center for Journalism says only Congress is less trusted than mainstream media.
In that environment, photo and video ops like the one at the White House today could well sway some traditionally Democratic voters to pull the lever for pro-Trump GOP candidates. We will know in less than 4 weeks.
