Clayton's latest buying spree

[robert]

How is Clayton Homes purchases of Fleetwood and Karsten gonna effect the industry? In the short-term I'm sure it will be business as usual, but what about
the next 2 to 5 years gonna bring? Is less competition going to effect pricing? Any other comments?

Good point..probably will effect pricing in the future..Theyt did NOT buy the Fleetwood plants only the Fleetwood owned retail lots...

I would not be surprised to guess if you buy in 5 years..Clayton might well be the only one left in the business...
