Today’s Big Movers

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –

All three corporate leaders have had business interests in the housing market.

Buffett’s Berkshire brands in manufactured housing are headlined by Clayton Homes, Vanderbilt Mortgage and 21st Mortgage.  But there’s much more that’s going on with Buffett and factory-built housing, as careful Daily Business News readers know.

With the economy moving from tame towards roar, and the markets setting record after records, as stock soar – did Buffett and Bezos – who both took strong public positions against Donald Trump and his presidency – decide to announce their health alliance today, based on a presumption that it could cause an embarrassing market slide – just before the State of the Union (SOTU) address?

Amazon’s reputation for disrupting markets shook up investors in the health care sector Tuesday,” said CNN Money today.

Shares of established health insurers such as UnitedHealth, Anthem, Aetna and Cigna were sharply lower following the announcement, as did shares of Humana, a hospital operator, drugstore retailers CVS and Walgreens and prescription service Express Script. Shares of Amazon are up 8%, while JPMorgan and Berkshire Hathaway are unchanged,” reported CNN earlier today.

Business Insider may or may not prove to be correct when they said that this doesn’t look like that strong a deal.  It may not have a long-term effect on the markets.

But either way, it did the night the 45th president takes the big stage.

The White House has been promoting pro-growth policies, that Democrats have largely opposed.

Apple, Amazon, Alphabet (Google), What Role Will Trillionaire Firms Play in Factory Built Housing?

We’ll watch the market response to President Trump’s State of the Union.

The Masthead

Former President Barack Obama recently said something relevant to the nation. But it was particularly and profoundly insightful to manufactured housing professionals. According to the Hill, ” Former President Obama said in an interview that Fox News viewers and NPR listeners are living on different planets in terms of what news they consume.

Because this is a battle of the titans.
