Meaningful and accurate history are arguably as important as accurate news. Based upon corporate and market fundamentals, the markets should be doing better than they have performed in recent months. The reasons are many, but one cause is a broad lack of economic, historic, and political understanding.  Instead of whining about it, MHProNews is doing its part through routine education on topics that are timely. Nazis – National Socialists vs. Communists – will be a short but insightful video with commentary this evening. It is accompanied by our signature data, closing tickers, and headlines bullets for the closing tickers.

 

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 MH Market Spotlight Report –

 

The problem with the politics of personality and great sounding promises are simple yet profound. The appeal of a personality or a great (but false) message can lead potentially millions down a problematic path. 

·        That’s happened in Germany during the 1930s, in the person of Adolf Hitler.

·        It occurred during Cuba during the 1950s

·        It happened in China under Mao, in the late 1940s and into the 1950s.

·        It happened in Iran, as the mullahs toppled the Shaw of Iran, in the 1970s.

·        It happened in Venezuela, as the video further below reflects.

Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia arguably had as more in common than millions realize.  In a snippet from author and film maker Dinesh D’Souza, is a pithy Q&A on why Germany and the Soviet Union went to war, when they both shared so many points in common.

 

The video above is only 3 days old, and already has many times more – about 6x more – video views that the MHI or Clayton ‘image changing’ videos achieved in over a year. Why?  Because many are hungry for information. Our MHProNews website – which was already #1 in MH Industry trade media – more than doubled traffic in less than a year, in part by tackling controversial topics, often using educational approaches in the mix.

 

Most independent investors and business owners that encourage their team members to read reports and view videos like the ones posted and linked will arguably be glad that they did.  Only day-by-day education on reality will overcome the widespread misinformation that often causes the markets to hiccup.
