Bloomberg headline:

Jobless Claims Drop as US Consumers Gain Confidence

Economic deceleration is sure not on the front burner.  Yet the US continues to try to inflate, as does a good portion of the developed world.  Questions include… will we get rising inflation concerns and will this inflation and precious metals bounce foretell economic drudgery (or worse) to come?  In 2000 when the great stock bull blew out and the gold bull began, things were about as good as they get for the economy.

NFTRH+; Control4 (CTRL)

Within the context of a potential market blow off scenario that Fed policy seems bent on instigating, we continue to look for candidates that have not yet moved aggressively.  On that note, CTRL, which can claim some of the ‘Internet of Things’ hype (iOt, another hype flavor added to last year’s 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing?) in the home automation space.

GLD bumped above the lower end of resistance yesterday and is support for any continuing S/T rally activity.  The big test is in the 123 to 125 area and the nose of the former Symmetrical Triangle.

NFTRH+; LSCC Big Picture View
