What is it about double wides? For a time, there was a campaign to banish the word trailer (as in trailer trash) and replace it with the more respectable, hi-tech- sounding manufactured home. Lord knows such a house can serve as a good home for a young couple just starting out. In fact, I'm always surprised at the amenities that are included in the modern product, even though the materials are sometimes a bit tacky.
But, except in rural areas, there remains a stigma attached to the manufactured home. My personal opinion for one reason: the dealers (obviously close cousins to auto dealers) park the pieces of homes somewhat carelessly, mismatched, suggesting to any passer-by a less than optimum finished product.Fantasy Share Trading: In case you didn't know it, shares in Walking Prescott were trading at B$1.64 last I checked on the exchange at BlogShares. A very cheap "price", tho I made it into the top 100 in the Arizona blog market. Got recommended because my "P/E ratio" was extraordinarily low. And so I came in #1 in the Prescott market, ahead of such local stalwarts as Oddball Observations and Foolsewoode. Go figure -- it doesn't make sense to me. This market is one of several on-line; the best known trade in predictions of one sort and another.
