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.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –

AntiTrustDivisionDeptOfJusticeManufacturedHousingIndustryDailyBusinessNewsMHproNews

Depending on who you ask in MHVille, the AT&T/Time Warner deal ruling either has little meaning for manufactured housing companies, or it may have real significance. What is now being revealed, is that the Trump Administration DOJ is considering an appeal.  That will be our focus for this evening.

 

Obvious disclosure, we are not attorneys nor are we the even more specialized class of lawyers and legal scholars who work on anti-trust related issues.

That said, in recent years, as MHProNews has covered periodically, concerns about Berkshire Hathaway, Clayton Homes, and allegations of monopolistic practices have been brewing.  The Seattle Time revealed what MHProNews readers already knew, namely, that federal officials are looking at several issues that involve Clayton and their lending related units, Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance (VMF), and 21st Mortgage Corp. (21st).

As an FYI, there is an unrelated story about 21st and their lending that is brewing, which we plan to bring in the days ahead as the details become more clear.

Against that backdrop, the word that there is a battle within DOJ to appeal the AT&T case loss is noteworthy.  Fox Business’ Charlie Gasparino comments on the developments in this video. That said, the DOJ antitrust division is looking to appeal AT&T-Time Warner ruling, reports Charlie Gasparino.

 

 

Antitrust officials in the Justice Department (DOJ) have privately decided to appeal a federal judge’s approval of AT&T’s planned $85 billion takeover of Time Warner, but are facing resistance from the most important player in the process, the office of the U.S. Solicitor General.

 

The Fox Business Network has learned from people close to the DOJ’s antitrust division that an appeal of the landmark ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon is all but a certainty if Solicitor General Noel Francisco approves the action.

But that approval, which is being sought by antitrust chief Makan Delrahim, faces resistance from the Solicitor General’s office, which must approve any appeal made by the DOJ either in federal courts or the Supreme Court, these people said.

The view in the Solicitor General’s office is that the government has limited capabilities of successful appeals and you don’t want to squander those on cases that are borderline,” said one government official who spoke on condition of anonymity,” said the Fox report.

Gasparino makes it sound like the anti-trust attorneys involved believed their odds are good.

That said, whatever the decision in this particular case, it supports the notion that in the foreseeable future, more anti-trust cases may be heard.  Will Clayton, 21st, VMF and Berkshire Hathaway be among them?  Or what about Amazon, Facebook and Google’s parent company, Alphabet?

Time will tell, stay tuned.
