Managing Mueller Russia Probe Outcome? NBC, Other Mainstream Media Reports Soften, Investor Impacts? Plus, MH Market Updates

CNNmone2.14.2019ManufacturedHomeStocksMarketsReportsMHProNewsManufactured housing tracked stocks closed mixed, as did the broader markets today.  Retail and other headline news found further below drove some declines. Among the more interesting topics in recent days has been the managing of expectations by mainstream news sources – such as NBC News – that for much of the past 2 years has touted so-called “Russian Collusion” with the Trump campaign.  Apparently, that’s not likely – as MHProNews advised readers 2 years ago, based upon the legal insights of Democratic backer and Harvard Law Professor Emeritus, Alan Dershowitz. What does that mean for investors? That and the quiet tamping down of expectations about Mueller is our featured topic for 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 belowafter 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 MH Market Spotlight Report –

ManagingMuellerRussiaProbeExpectationNBCOtherMainstreamMediaReportsSoftenInvestorImpactsPlusMHMarketUpdates600

 

CNN and others are saying that investigations of the Trump campaign and the president himself will go on, but NBC is now saying that “Millions of Americans may be sorely disappointed,” who have “been waiting for Robert Mueller to give them the final word on whether the Trump campaign conspired with the 2016 Russian election interference effort — and whether their president is under the influence of a foreign adversary.”

NBC and others drone on with the technical reasons why the public may or may not hear all of the dirt, or the lack thereof.  But that begs the question.  Didn’t they know that those same restrictions existed on the special counsel’s report 2 years ago?  Why were so many in media – many of whom were giddy with the prospects of removing a duly elected president via the Mueller Mechanism – negligent in saying these same things 2 years ago?

Here’s an example of the walk-back.

Expectations that we will see a comprehensive report from the special counsel are high. But the written regulations that govern the special counsel’s reporting requirements should arguably dampen those expectations,” said Chuck Rosenberg, a former federal prosecutor and NBC News analyst.

Translation?  There is no evidence that the president of his campaign actually colluded with the Russians.  Whatever the Russians attempted, it didn’t actively involve the Trump campaign, per several sources.

Recall that Project Veritas said in 2017 that a CNN producer said on hidden camera that the Russia collusion story was a big “nothing burger.”  MHProNews brought you that report, and others that logically laid out the reasons why the odds were miniscule that anything campaign connected was going to arise.

Adam Schiff and other Democratic leaders have made it clear that they will do their own investigations, regardless of whatever the Mueller probe decides. So, don’t expect this to end any time soon.  It may take a GOP recapture of the House to stop politically motivated investigations.

 

The Impact?

MHProNews reported earlier this week that trust in media has sunk to new lows.  President Trump’s approval was rising to a new high.

Once the news becomes official that this was – as the President Donald J. Trump has often said – “a witch hunt” – a possible outcome is that investors will feel more confidence in the Trump Administration.  That could be good for stocks, since investors like maximum certainty.
