The MHCV closed down, and only Sun Communities rose while other tracked stocks slid or stayed even. The Dow and other exchanges continued their modest retreat. The U.S. markets normally rise in December, but so far this year, that’s not so, says CNN Money.  Oil is one factor, and it means a lot to the MH industry, as the article linked here reveals.

Motley Fool’s  warnings about Caesar’s Entertainment in October are picking up steam. Penchenga  and Bloomberg  have mentioned signs of motion of Caesar’s toward bankruptcy, which would leave open to question what impact, if any, that might have on MH events such as the MHI Congress and Expo often held at a Caesar’s property.
