CNNmoney1.28.2019ManufacturedHomeStocksMarketsReportsMHProNews-2While broader markets slid, today was a symbolic throw back on manufactured housing connected tracked stocks. Most of them rose.  That’s how it should be for the affordable housing industry.  But our featured report tonight is about lifelong Democrat, former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz.  He’s announced his interest in running for president as an independent in 2020.  Who does that help or harm?  That will be our focus for this evening’s report.

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.

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 –

FormerStarbucksCEOHowardSchultsHiresExObamaAideForCommunicationsIndeendentMHProNEws

 

President Donald J. Trump has all but dared former Starbucks CEO and chairman Howard Schultz to run as an independent for 2020.  Of course, that’s not uncommon for the president.

·        Former Starbucks CEO and chairman Howard Schultz hired former Obama aide Bill Burton as a communications advisor while he mulls running for president in 2020, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter, said CNBC.

·        Schultz’s team has been speaking with potential staffers as the former Starbucks chairman debates whether to run for president as an independent, this source added.

 

Here’s a short video report above, and a longer one below, per CBS News.

 

Here’s a view from CNN, which features a Washington Democrat blasting the move, as potentially harmful to Democratic hopes. 

 

Why does this matter to MHVille?

Clearly, whomever gets elected – or re-elected – in 2020 will impact the industry through regulatory and other mechanisms.  It was a tough call tonight to spotlight Shultz, or the announcement of Senator Kamala Harris (CA-D).  We went with the Shultz potential run for several reasons, including the notion that a run as an independent could indeed upend the political math for both major parties.

If Schultz runs, don’t be surprised if another independent pops up, one that is more likely to draw support away from POTUS Trump loyalists.
