CNNmoney7.12.2018ManufacturedHomeStocksMarketsReportsMHProNewsThe Department of Justice’s (DOJ) anti-trust division has the slogan, “Protecting and Promoting Competition.” It sums up why this issue matters to thousands of manufactured home industry professionals, and consumers. Rephrased, this rule could impact every manufactured home industry professional, regardless of what company or organization you are working for today.  The update on the anti-trust case will be tonight’s spotlight.

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, just beyond the Manufactured Housing Composite Value for today.

 

The ever evolving Daily Business News market report sets the manufactured home industry’s stocks in the broader context of the overall markets.  It’s an example of “News through the lens of manufactured homes, and factory-built housing.” ©

It just makes sense. Because like it or not, what moves the markets effects manufactured housing too.

Part of this unique feature provides headlines – from both sides of the left-right media divide – that saves 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.

DOJFTC-AntiTrustProtectingPromotingCompetitionManufacturedHousingINdustryDailyBusinessNewsMHproNews

CNBC confirmed today the report broken last night by Fox Business and spotlighted in our topical curation for manufactured housing industry professionals.

Per CNBC:

  • Justice Department authorized the appeal of the Time Warner-AT&T merger
  • The AT&T-Time Warner merger was “won approval in June from a federal judge, who did not impose conditions on the merger.”
  • The Justice Department argues that the combined company would decrease competition and raise prices for consumers.
  • While there are legal authorities on both sides of this issue, there are those who believe that some of the concerns raised in this anti-trust deal, could apply to Clayton Homes, Berkshire Hathaway, and their associated lending units.

The updated video by Fox Business – made available to MHProNews less than an hour ago – is shown below.

The link to yesterday evening’s more detailed report – with links to several related issues and thus potential impacts Berkshire Hathaway, Clayton Homes, et al, is found in the report linked below.  Berkshire Hathaway slid a fraction today.
