Index Direction Change Units Last 8:20 AM
Dow Up               117 points            13,045

The   Conference Board’s confidence index was little changed in April at 69.2   compared to a revised 69.5 for March. The median forecast of economists  surveyed by Bloomberg was for 69.6. The smallest increase in employment in   five months may have raised concern that growth is not fast enough to reduce   unemployment. The report also showed households trimmed buying plans for automobiles, homes and vacations, showing that more jobs are needed to boost consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy.
Always serving the   West Side first, I am Bill Roller of BR Capital for AM 1360 KUIK.
