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 MH Market Spotlight Report –

The Washington Post, and Accounting Today reported last April the plan to settle the IRS targeting scandal case.  That settlement deal was inked on August 10th, although not all are happy with it.

To flash back to 2016, “We Shouldn’t Fear Our Government,” said True the Vote’s Catherine Engelbrecht.

Will this court ruling energize conservative groups?

Will these groups stay engaged in the 2018 contest, which is less than 3 months away?

 

 

A judge…approved a settlement between the IRS and hundreds of tea party groups, in which the federal agency agreed to pay out $3.5 million, reports the Chattanooga Free Times, and Fox News.

It shows that when a government agency desires to target citizens based on their viewpoints, a price will be paid,” said Edward Greim, a lawyer who led the class-action case in federal court in Cincinnati, according to the Washington Times.


An award-winning manufactured housing professional, Dick Moore, told MHProNews that he was targeted by the IRS for his political views, which is one of several reasons for spotlighting this topic tonight.

But another reason is the broader question, what will happen if the GOP loses the House in November?

The tea party groups received a “sincere apology” from the IRS, and the government agreed to a declaratory judgment that “it is wrong” to scrutinize a tax return because of a taxpayer’s name or political philosophy, the report said.

“I’m not frankly aware of any other class-action lawsuit against the IRS for anything where the IRS paid money,” Mark Meckler, who as president of Citizens for Self Governance funded the class-action challenge, previously told the Times when the settlement was submitted for final approval a few weeks ago.

Just as 2016 was a “jump ball,” 2018 is too. Each major party can point to their evidence as to why they believe they can win. What would happen to the economic progress made if the House flips?
