Before diving into tonight’s feature, millions will tune in tonight to see who President Donald J. Trump will nominate to replace retiring Justice Anthony “Tony” Kennedy on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Some have speculated on a variety of supposed top contenders. An interesting op-ed by Senator Orin Hatch May provide a clue, when it uses the pronoun “she” to describe the pending nominee. 

According to the often-announced plan, sometime after 9 PM ET, the nation will know.

That said, beyond the data for today’s tracked manufactured home industry connected equities, the focus for tonight’s is what Fox Business called a “risky” trade war.

If you’re new, already hooked on our new spotlight feature – or are ready to get the MH professional fever – our headline reports are found further below, just beyond the Manufactured Housing Composite Value for today.

 

The evolving Daily Business News market report sets the manufactured home industry’s stocks in the broader context of the overall markets.

Part of this unique feature provides headlines – from both sides of the left-right media divide – that saves 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.

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 –

It may surprise some to learn that a third-party research found that Fox News is roughly a 50-50 split on coverage that is for-or-against the president and Trump Administration policies.

Seriously?

While many Fox News and Fox Business hosts are pro-POTUS Trump, not all are.

Further, many of the shows feature panel discussion, where they bring in Democratic, or so-called RINO, and “never Trump” backers.

 

The video above is an example of a report that is largely negative about the Trump trade gambit. It isn’t until the very end of the video that you get a sense of why the president is taking this tactic in the first place.

The interview with Forbes’ Steve Forbes is also tentative about the issue of trade.

But there are voices in the business world that think that this is precisely the right strategy, and it is the right time, because there is a nice cushion fueled by more jobs, rising wages, lower taxes, more common sense regulations and the like.

Time will tell.  But as Marty Lavin, or CNBC’s Cramer have observed, the time is right for this battle. If not now, when will the U.S. stand up to China’s theft of intellectual property, or other problematic trade practices?
