CNN Business in New York opened it top article with the words “A Stomach Churning Year” and led with these opening lines. “Wall Street is bidding goodbye — and good riddance — to 2022. It has been a year most investors would rather forget. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, snarled supply chains and another year of Covid turned markets on their head this year. Inflation surged around the globe and central banks hiked rates at a historic pace to keep price hikes from spiraling out of control. China, the world’s second-largest economy, periodically shut down entire cities to contain the pandemic. Energy supplies were cut off, but recession fears send demand falling in the second half of the year anyway. Intense storms and climate change upended markets, too.” Left-leaning CNN didn’t mention Biden-era policies, but did mention that: Elon Musk’s Tesla is down about 70%, making the auto tech company the third-worst performer this year. Meta, Facebook’s parent company, also makes an appearance in the bottom 10 stocks — down 65%” Compared to the biggest losers, manufactured housing connected equities in several cases fared better, but far too many ended the year down along with the bulk of the broader equities market. Specifics will follow further into this report.
Most on the center-right could agree with the bulk of that CNN summary, save the last few words about ‘climate change’ upending markets. Apparently, CNN has once more ignored the memo from those scientific and research groups that deny that climate change is manmade or that the ‘intense storms’ are new, as perhaps the strongest hurricane on record – per left-leaning PBS – predates the industrial era.
That noted, per the WND Newscenter to MHProNews is the following annual snapshot report of the major markets. A cleaned up (de-glitched) list of manufactured housing connected parent companies and manufactured home focused firms will follow with their 1-year closing bell stock track reflecting a generally down year too.
2022 in U.S. stock market was worst year since … 2008!
Bidenflation just 1 of the headaches Americans are facing
Under Joe Biden’s economy during 2022, widows lost money.
So did widowers, husbands, wives, families, cousins and the guy who pours beers at the corner bar.
At least they did if they had money in the stock market, through investments or retirement funds and the like.
Business Insider reported U.S. stocks fell on the last day of trading, ending a “tough year.”
The S&P 500 was down 20% for the year, a result that hasn’t been that bad since the 2008 year.
Meanwhile the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 9% in 2022, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq tumbled 33%.
The last trading day of the year ended “with a thud,” the report said, after consumers were confronted with high inflation, up to 9.1%, high interest rates, high costs for energy and fuel, and more.
The report said the housing market “is still gloomy as ever as mortgage rates turned higher again, and Jeff Bezos’ fortune was overtaken by Warren Buffett’s.
At CNBC a report said stocks on Friday ended “a brutal 2022 with a whimper.”
It said, “Friday marked the final day of trading in what has been a painful year for stocks. All three of the major averages suffered their worst year since 2008 and snapped a three-year win streak. The Dow fared the best of the indexes in 2022, down about 8.8%. The S&P 500 sank 19.4%, and is more than 20% below its record high, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq tumbled 33.1%.”
“We’ve had everything from COVID problems in China to the invasion of Ukraine. They’ve all been very serious. But for investors, it is what the Fed is doing,” said Art Cashin, director of floor operations for UBS.
That organization has been exploding interest rates by advances of up to three quarters of a point monthly – in its attempt to bring Biden’s inflation under control.
The CNBC report also warned it’s not over.
“As the calendar turns to a new year, some investors think the pain is far from over. They expect the bear market to persist until a recession hits or the Fed pivots. Some also project stocks will hit new lows before rebounding in the second half of 2023,” the report said.
Cashin pointed out, “I would love to tell you that it is going to be like the ‘Wizard of Oz’ and everything is going to be in glorious color in a moment or two. I think we may have a bumpy first quarter, and depending on the Fed it may last a little longer than that.”
Joe Biden’s administration, meanwhile, posted online a document boasting about how good things are.
“We end the year with clear evidence that President Biden’s economic strategy of growing the economy from the bottom up and the middle out is working…”
Biden, in fact, has orchestrated the spending of trillions of dollars that are being added to the national debt, even though his agenda has produced that high inflation, high interest, stagnant wages, mediocre job growth and more.
It brags about 10.5 million jobs added under Biden, without mentioning that many of those were restored following mandated shutdowns during the COVID pandemic.
Even that analysis, while advising it will “take time” to reach desired results, conceded there will be “setbacks along the way.”
It boasted that gas prices are down more than $1.75 per gallon, but they still remain higher than when Biden took office when they exploded to levels as high as $5 and $6 a gallon in some states. ##
II. Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary in Brief
Flashing back to the CNN reference at the top, the following 4 charts graphically depict what the drop in mainstream equities looks like.
MHProNews has kept industry readers updated on the shift from a sellers’ market in housing to the steady evidence of what the National Association of Realtors (NAR) declared the U.S. was in a “housing recession” before the end of the summer. Housing has one of the biggest impacts on the economy. According to the National Association of Home Builders Eye On Housing on 1.27.2022, “Housing Share of GDP: 16.4%.” In another report, NAHB said that “Housing’s combined contribution to GDP generally averages 15-18%.”
Manufactured homes share of new single-family construction has been in the 9 to 10 percent range for years, even though it was over double that in much of the 1990s. Manufactured homes continued to rise even as mainstream housing fell. But the most recent report logged a year-over-year decline in manufactured housing too. Time will tell if that is a trend or an anomaly.
Manufactured housing’s value proposition was documented using federal and other data in the report linked below.
Barring the unforeseen, the MHProNews’ 2022 year in review will conclude tomorrow. The review for the first 6 months of 2022 is found in the report linked below.
That noted, here is the updated manufactured home connected equities. Note that companies such as Apollo, Blackstone, BlackRock, or Berkshire Hathaway have manufactured housing connected investments. Other publicly traded firms may largely focus on manufactured home production, vertically integrated retailing, or communities, for instance. Some companies such as Sun Communities (SUI) and Equity LifeStyle Properties (ELS) have manufactured home (MH) sites, recreational vehicle (RV) sites, or even marina slips in their portfolios. In alphabetical order are the following.
Apollo Global Management (APO – corporate holdings include investments in manufactured home land lease communities)
Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A = parent company to Clayton Homes, 21st Mortgage, Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, Shaw, and other manufactured home industry connected firms).

Killam Apt REIT (KMMPF – includes manufactured home land lease communities).
LCI Industries (LCII – includes manufactured housing production supplier).
Legacy Housing (LEGH – a producer of HUD Code manufactured homes that is vertically integrated, with both captive and independent retailers, retail and wholesale financing and which is in the manufactured home development arena too. Note that LEGH is one of the rare firms that outsiders looking in (see bottom right of Yahoo graphic) are predicting short-, medium-, and longer-term increases in the stock’s performance).

Manufactured Housing Properties (MHPC – manufactured home land lease communities portfolio operator).
