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 Big Movers

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
It’s an interconnected economy.
Duh, right? But trade deals impact manufactured housing directly and indirectly.
Some plants that produce manufactured homes import, for example, products from China that go into U.S. based factories that build HUD Code homes.
That said, while sharing the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) video without specific comment – we’d look at some of the WSJ claims differently, but that’s another topic for another time – let’s make a comment that will be controversial to some that’s manufactured home specific.
What is controversial to some others in MHVille it at all controversial to us. It’s this.
If specific aspects of manufactured home markets were not arguably being artificially manipulated – see examples in reports linked here, here, here, and here – or manufactured housing would be far more resilient. Why?
Affordable housing is almost always needed. There is no more proven form of affordable housing than manufactured homes. Look at the historic trends, until the last 15 years. What changed? Start with two words, Warren Buffett.
Step by step, MHProNews and our sister site have been ‘building the case’ for why the industry is underperforming. This is done to both inform, but also to set the stage for what’s to follow.
There’s a method to the madness. In the meantime, those that we’ve fact checked and critiqued, given the opportunity to respond, have stayed mute directly. Indirectly, there have been over-the-target reactions.
Stay tuned.
The opposition has their plan, so do we.
Re: Trade? President Trump was talking tough on trade for decades, as a private citizen. It is arguably one of the signature topics that brought blue collar workers from counties that went Democratic during the Obama presidential contest era twice to go for POTUS Trump. So, while some clearly hate the state of trade, there are those who cheer the developments, even if it means short term pain.
If you ponder your investments in MHVille, see the related reports, linked below. It may get you wondering the same things that caused us to dig deeper and bring our readers the reports that no one else in manufactured housing trade media dares to cover.
Starting with the speech by Secretary Carson, the first link below, why isn’t that posted on the Manufactured Housing Institute website? Why is it found – at this time in manufactured housing industry trade media – only on our sister site?
As political independents and keen MHVille observers, there are a few phrases that both Bernie Bros and MAGA Trump supporters agree upon. One is this. The “system is rigged.” Ponder that as you ponder the links above and below.
