Today’s Big Movers

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –

The Daily Business News has led the charge in manufactured housing trade publishing by periodically spotlighting for over a year issues related to problematic practices by tech giants such as Facebook, Alphabet (Google’s parent company), and Twitter, among others.

Our reports have also noted parallel concerns between the ‘monopolistic’ concerns raised about those companies, and similar concerns that have been raised in recent years about Berkshire Hathaway owned Clayton Homes.

Clayton, as regular readers know, has been under scrutiny by Democratic lawmakers, but also by Washington regulators, per previously published reports.

But the focus tonight is Facebook itself, which along with Twitter, sent the Dow down 300 plus points at the close, in spite of a several hundred point rise in the markets earlier in the day.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 344.89 points, or 1.43%, to 23,857.71. The S&P 500 retreated 45.93 points, or 1.73%, to 2,612.62. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shed 211.74 points, or 2.93%, to 7,008.81,” per right-of-center, Fox Business.

The sell-off came a day after the Dow recorded its best single-day point gain since 2008 on fading fears of a U.S.-China trade war. The blue-chip index added 669 points on Monday, its third-biggest point gain ever, on news that U.S. and Chinese officials are in talks over trade policies.

Twitter shares slipped 12% after short-seller Citron Research revealed it bet against the stock due to increased regulatory risks. Twitter pushed back against Citron Research, saying it doesn’t sell any user data. Merrill Lynch analysts lowered their price target for Facebook’s stock twice in five days.

Tim Anderson, managing director at brokerage TJM Investments, noted that investors have “lingering concerns about social media companies and the issue of [halting tests] of self-driving cars,” he said on FOX Business’ “After the Bell.”
