Talking Heads Melt Down, Stocks Rise, DoJ Statement, Bannon Says Look More at China, plus MH Market Updates

CNNmoney7.17.2018ManufacturedHomeStocksMarketsReportsMHProNewsThe Dow is continuing to recover, and other markets also rose today.  But for those who tuned into much of the hypertexturing media coverage since the US-Russia Summit in Helsinki yesterday, one could be left with the impression that the world was about to come to an end.  Far from it. With geo-politics driving much of the markets this year, that will be our spotlight report this evening.

 

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.

 

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 business-daily 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.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –

DOJIndictmentsLogoDailyBusinessNewsMHproNews

Much of the mainstream media reporting, including several on both sides of the political aisle – even several on sources like Fox News – could leave one with the impression that President Donald J. Trump “committed treason.”

What?  Didn’t President Barack Obama say less than 2 years ago that there was limited value or no use to even trying to get Russian President Vladimir Putin to admit that they meddled in the 2016 election?  Who’s watch did the meddling take place on? Rephrased, hypocrisy and a lack of clear-headed analysis were on full display in roughly the last 30 hours.

The key fact being overshadowed is what Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigator’s obtained a grand jury indictment of 12 Russians revealed.

In a release to the Daily Business News on MHProNews, the DoJ headline read as follows.

Grand Jury Indicts 12 Russian Intelligence Officers for Hacking Offenses Related to the 2016 Election.”

The last 3 paragraphs of the DoJ press release begin the key point for Americans to consider.

 

There is no allegation in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant in the alleged unlawful activity or knew they were communicating with Russian intelligence officers. There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the vote count or changed the outcome of the 2016 election,” stated the DoJ release.

Rephrased, there was no collusion or allegation of a criminal tie in between the Trump campaign and these alleged Russian offenders.

The DoJ also said, “Everyone charged with a crime is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. At trial, prosecutors must introduce credible evidence that is sufficient to prove each defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, to the unanimous satisfaction of a jury of twelve citizens.

This case was investigated with the help of the FBI’s cyber teams in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and San Francisco and the National Security Division. The Special Counsel’s investigation is ongoing. There will be no comments from the Special Counsel at this time.”

With that backdrop, CNBC will be doing an interview with former Presidential adviser Steve Bannon. Readers may recall that the president distanced himself from Bannon, after some odd statements in the aftermath of one of the anti-Trump books that Bannon was commenting on at the time.

But that was then, and now Bannon is giving a full-throated defense of the president. He said that the greater threat is China, not Russia.

Per CNBC,President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon said Tuesday that Trump needs to end the Cold War on “our terms,” a day after the president appeared with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Finland.”

POTUS knows he needs to end the Cold War on our terms, and unite the West against the rise of a totalitarian China,” Bannon told CNBC’s Michelle Caruso-Cabrera.

The reality is that the Russia, China, the U.S., England, France, Israel, Iran, North Korea and on down the list of nations meddle in the internal affairs of other countries.  Each of those nations, and dozens of others, have done so for years. This is a sad display of a lack of understanding of history and political realities.

The strengthening of NATO that is being brought about by President Trump’s leadership is clearly aimed against Russia.  President Putin no doubt understands that reality. U.S. voters should too. “We Provide, You Decide.”  ©
