#OpenMarkets, Monopolistic, and Other MH Industry Legal Concerns Initiative, plus Manufactured Home Investing, Stock Updates

DowJones10212019ManufacturedHomeStockUpdatesOur left-right evening market recap of bulleted headlines from CNN Business and Fox Business often reflect widely different types of reports that each believed was relevant for that day. That’s just one of numbers of reminders that perception varies on what ought to be factual issues. In such an Alice-in-Wonderland, through the looking glass darkly environment, it is not a surprise that perceptions may differ on manufactured housing connected issues.

Regular readers know that MHProNews takes a more benign view of the left-right media divide than many partisans do, precisely because there are good examples of sound reporting that come from each side of that divide that award-winning Sharyl Attkisson’s useful infographic below provides.

We often concur with those we may generally disagree with on a focused topic, using the prudent principle of separating the wheat from the chaff. When even a stopped clock is correct twice daily, it is a good reason to ponder statements, evidence, and claims on their own merits – based upon relevant fact- and reason-based evaluations.

That said, tonight’s featured focus is on an issue that draws a sharp divide among manufactured housing industry professionals. It is the latest step with respect to allegations of antitrust, market-rigging, deceptive trade and other practices impacting manufactured housing. Few topics in MHVille are hotter.

That will be our focus tonight.

Tonight’s Business/Market/Political Impact Spotlight –

DeceptiveTradePracticesRICOAntitrustLawsAffordableHousingManufacturedomeOwnersSmallBusinesses

Purging Manufactured Housing of Allegedly Corrupt Practices Harming Investors, Independents, Homeowners, Others

Antitrust is a topic that arose in the latest 2020 Democratic debates. It is a topic at the Trump DOJ and FTC. A growing number of Republican lawmakers are becoming focused on antitrust concerns too.

Which ought to beg the question. When a significant number of elected and appointed officials find consolidation to be an important topic, why is it given so little or no attention by others in the manufactured home industry trade media?

It is arguably a case of through the looking glass. Some see it, others either don’t want to see it or are buying into purported propaganda. Given the shock that came almost a year ago when investors in Cavco Industries were told about a stunning allegation against their then chairman and CEO, Joe Stegmayer (see first link below the related reports), why would this be such a surprise?

We’ve made the relevant point that 15 years ago not many would have thought that Bernie Madoff would be behind bars. Some cons have been proven to be big and can operate for years on end.

“You’re a Gutless Cheat,” The Sting, and Manufactured Housing

Every con or big swindle is predicated on ‘never admitting to the con.’ Some in MHVille could at least initially have been mere pawns in a con without even realizing it. Perhaps as few as 3 people could have rigged the system in manufactured housing in its early stages. That much is evidenced by the in-depth report linked here below, that none of the manufactured housing Berkshire brands, their attorneys, nor the Manufactured Housing Institute, their inside or outside attorneys have tried to debunk, or respond to directly and publicly.

Smoking Gun?!? In a series of direct quotes from Warren Buffett in context, a document from 21st Mortgage signed by Tim Williams, a Berkshire brand in MH Financing, and video recorded comments by Kevin Clayton, these all line up to demonstrate how independent retailers, communities, and producers – among others – where purportedly harmed by action that could be deemed an antitrust violation. https://www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com/bridging-gap-affordable-housing-solution-yields-higher-pay-more-wealth-but-corrupt-rigged-billionaires-moat-is-barrier/

Fast forward from that report to now. Today, our publisher took the next step in our efforts to expose these troubling concerns of deceptive trade practices, antitrust, RICO and other potential violations to appropriate authorities. See that report linked below.

It is worth mentioning that the Open Markets Institute specifically named Clayton Homes among the firms that they have their eyes on for antitrust and related concerns. So MHProNews isn’t alone. See the Masthead report above, and the related reports further below. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
