Equities To Find Bids This WeekUnited States equities may decline Monday-Wednesday as investors await economic data later in the week. Equities could find bids Wednesday - Friday on economic news of continued stabilization in the housing market, purchasing manager data out of China and European Union, and signs from unemployment claims of continued improvement in labor market conditions.
Building Permits
Building permits issued have increased. Building permits for privately-owned housing units increased 19 percent between January 2011 & 2012. Building permits in the south increased 30 percent over last year and 13.5 percent in the West.
Tuesday investors will be watching for continued strength in building permits issued in the southern and western regions of the United States.
Existing-Home Sales
Existing-home sales rose in January, registering gains in three of the past four months, while inventories continued to improve. Distressed homes - foreclosures and short sales which sell at deep discounts - accounted for roughly one third of January sales; they were 37 percent in January 2011. The median existing single-family home price was $154,400 in January, down 2.6 percent from January 2011.
Existing-home sales at an annual pace of 4M or more in February is considered bullish; existing single-family home prices are expected to continue to decline moderately.
China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index
The pace of decline in manufacturing in China has moderated in recent months. Growth is slowing as domestic demand isn't expected to rebound straightaway. Exports should pick up later in the year should Europe rebound from recession as the ECB expects. China's Manufacturing PMI has increased in recent months and could come in above a reading of 50 signaling growth in manufacturing. Import prices are a key factor to watch for signs of increasing inflation as the People's Bank of China is expected to continue to ease and an increase in import prices could dampen expectations of further rate cutes.
Signs of a recovery in European demand could appear in European Union PMI figures to be released on Thursday. Look for Germany and France to remain above a reading of 50 and combined European Union PMI data to potential reach the 50 level.
Unemployment Claims
Thursday Unemployment claims will be released; watch for the claims number to remain below 400k. A strong claims number would signal a strengthening labor market and economy. As labor market conditions improve, increases in consumption, savings and investment should continue to support economy growth and asset prices.
Equities With Profit Potential
Technology continues to be an outperformer with the PowerShares QQQ (NASDAQ:QQQ) advancing. The iShares Dow Industrial Transportation Average (NYSEARCA:IYT) has lagged during the rally from the October lows and is starting to gain ground on the Dow Industrial Average (NYSEARCA:DIA). The SDPR S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) is also likely to gain this week on continued strong economic data. A decline in share price would be an opportunity to buy these names.
Disclosure: I am long DIA.
Entropic CommunicationEntropic Communications is a fabless semiconductor company, designs, develops and markets system solutions to enable connected home entertainment. Its products include integrated circuits and related software associated with home networking solutions based on the Multimedia over Coax Alliance standard; direct broadcast satellite (NYSEARCA:DBS) services; high-speed broadband access; and silicon tuners. The company's products enable the delivery of various streams of high-definition television-quality video, standard-definition television-quality video, and other multimedia content, such as movies, music, games, and photos into and throughout the connected home. It serves telecommunications carriers, cable operators, and DBS service providers, as well as the providers of over-the-top services. Entropic Communications offers its products through its direct sales force, as well as through a network of sales representatives and distributors worldwide.
Between the quarter ending March 31, 2011 and the quarter ending September 30, 2011 revenue at Entropic declined by $20 million. While revenue declined cost of goods sold remained relatively constant as a percentage of revenue. Gross income is roughly 55 percent of revenue.
Research and development spending has increased from $12.4 million or 20 percent of revenue to $15.1 million or almost 30 percent of revenue. Spending on research and development usually results in products with superior technology.
Net income at Entropic is roughly 15 percent of revenue and the company has a low debt-to-equity ratio. The low debt level makes Entropic a relatively safe investment and net income that is 15 percent of revenue makes Entropic a relatively high margin company.
Entropic is trading at a market value of $428 million and has $130 million in cash and short-term securities on the balance sheet. Entropic's enterprise value is $298 million and operating income for the twelve months trailing is $53.1 million. The enterprise value-to-operating income ratio for Entropic is 5.61 and the price-to-earnings ratio is 6.02. The price-to-book value ratio is 1.5.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
Intel: Cash Flow Statement AnalysisIntel corporation has seen cash flow from operations increase over the last five quarters. Intel has generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund financing and investing activities. Net cash flow from operations was higher than net income and indicates high quality earnings.
Cash flow from operations is a major source of cash for Intel. Funds from operations September 30, 2010 was $4.2 billion or 38 per cent of net revenue and one year later grew to $5.7 billion or roughly 40 per cent of net revenue, an increase of $1.5 billion or 2 per cent of net revenue. Funds from operations increased by 35.7 per cent ($4.2 to $5.7 billion).
Most of Intel's cash is spent on investing and financing activities. Combined the expenses account for roughly 30 to 50 per cent of net revenue in the quarters from the quarter ending September 30, 2010 to the quarter ending September 30, 2011. Dividends and share repurchases account for the uses of cash within financing activities and within investing activities capital expenditure and purchase/sale of investments account for the use of cash.
Net operating cash flow was higher than net income in every quarter. The relationship between net income and operating cash flow is an indicator of earnings quality. For a mature company it is desirable that operating cash flow exceeds net income. Between the quarter ending September 2010 and the quarter ending September 2011 the spread between net income as a percentage of net revenue and net operating cash flow as a percentage of net revenue increased from roughly 600 basis points to over 2000 basis points.
Net operating cash flow covered capital expenditure in every quarter between the quarter ending September 2010 and the quarter ending September 2011. Intel can easily fund capital expenditure from cash flow from operations. The spread between net operating cash flow as a percentage of net revenue and capital expenditure as a percentage of net revenue was between roughly 1000 and 2000 basis points during the last five quarters.
Bullish Factors
Cash flow from operations increased in every quarter and was positive. Cash flow from operations covered cash outflows for investing including capital expenditure and covered cash outflows to investors. Cash flow from operations was higher than net income.
Bearish Factors
Cash flow from operations increased at a rate of change (35.7 per cent) above Intel's sustainable growth rate of 17.31 per cent.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

ARM's strategy is for our technology to continue to gain market share in long-term growth markets, to increase the value ARM receives from each device, and to develop new technologies that can generate additional royalty revenue. In achieving this we intend to balance increasing investment in R&D and increasing shareholder returns, whilst at the same time ensure that ARM is a great place to work.
Our strategy for long-term growth
ARM's strategy is for our technology to continue to gain market share in long-term growth markets, to increase the value ARM receives from each device, and to develop new technologies that can generate additional royalty revenue.
ARM has three major revenue growth drivers
Which will led to increased re-investment in the business and increasing shareholder returns
Increase market penetration
ARM has achieved a more than 95% penetration of mobile handsets. As other end markets require smarter processors, we expect ARM technology to increase market share in other application areas.
ARM has been at the centre of the development of smarter mobile phones and the introduction of mobile computers such as tablets. The majority of these chips are based on our technology, and ARM is already licensing processors for future generations of computers. Over the last decade, ARM has also developed processors that are suitable for digital devices outside of mobile, and more influential market leaders are making long-term commitments to use our technology in a broadening range of end-markets.
We gain share as semiconductor companies increase the use of our technology in their chips. They utilise our technology because it is cheaper for the semiconductor manufacture and their customers to use ARM technology in their chips than to develop their own proprietary processor and to maintain their own ecosystem. ARM is further developing both new technology and a richer ecosystem so that semiconductor companies will continue to adopt our technology.
To gain share in markets such as hard disk drives, digital TV and microcontrollers we are nurturing new ecosystems and developing new partnerships. It took ARM ten years to gain a high penetration of mobile phones and although the rate at which each market will adopt ARM technology may be different, the underlying market dynamics are similar.
Increase value per smart electronic device
As consumer products become smarter they often contain multiple ARM-based chips, increasing our royalty opportunity. Smarter phones and TVs can generate 5–20 times more royalty than a basic model.
As smartphones are continuing to get smarter, more connected and capable, even more functionality is being introduced to each handset. ARM is working at the forefront of this R&D to ensure that we are developing the right technology to further increase the number and value of ARM based chip per device.
As other consumer electronics products become smarter and more connected they may also contain more ARM-based chips.
Generate additional royalties from complementary technology
ARM has introduced complementary technologies which we believe are suitable for R&D outsourcing and can command an upfront licence fee and an ongoing royalty.
Over the last few years ARM has introduced two major new technologies that fit these criteria:
ARM is now licensing these technologies to leading semiconductor companies.
Re-investment and shareholder return
ARM's financial discipline balances the need for continued investment to generate long-term future growth, whilst increasing today's profitability and shareholder returns.
In the medium term, we believe that we can grow our revenues faster than our costs. This financial discipline will lead to increases in our profitability, free-cash-flow and distribution of excess cash to shareholders.

3 Billion & Counting: The Cost Of Banning DDT
CHURCHVILLE, VA — 3 Billion and Counting is a new documentary film on the awful human cost of banning DDT. The film's producer, medical doctor Rutledge Taylor, circled the tropical world, finding that malaria has claimed some three billion human lives throughout history–and the toll of needless deaths is continuing to mount by perhaps 1.5 million per year. Moreover, it permanently debilitates millions more. Taylor says malaria treatment is a "tangle of red tape, misguided prevention policies and treatment that is ineffective in the face of continual re-infection." Above all, he found "willful deafness to the pleas of local populations to help them eradicate the mosquitoes that deliver the deadly cargo."
Steve Milloy at Junkscience.com has called DDT "a weapon of mass survival."
Rachel Carson ignited the environmental movement when her book Silent Spring warned the world in 1962 that "DDT would be proven to be a [human] carcinogen." In fact, no peer-reviewed evidence ever indicted DDT as a carcinogen–or a human health risk of any sort.
What about DDT thinning the eggshells of raptor birds? Audubon counted virtually no eagles in its annual "lower-48 states" Christmas bird counts from 1900 until after 1940. The birds were shot and poisoned for "stealing" fish, lambs, and poultry. The public thought eagles were just big, aggressive predators. Finally, in 1940, Congress passed the Bald Eagle Protection Act. The eagles began a long, initially-slow comeback. Today, Audubon typically records more than 15,000 eagles every Christmas–and the DDT ban had no role in their comeback.
But Rachel Carson struck a public nerve. DDT and window screens had eradicated malaria in America and Europe. Well and good. But then DDT started radically reducing the death rates of the brown, black, and yellow people in the tropics. Paul Ehrlich wrote his incendiary screed The Population Bomb in 1968, and the American public recoiled in horror at "overpopulation."
Rutledge Taylor traces the horrific DDT mistake back to one man: William Ruckelshaus, the Nixon-appointed lawyer who headed the EPA in 1972. An EPA judge heard more than 100 expert witnesses, and ruled that DDT was not a carcinogen, nor did it pose a threat to mammals, fish or birds. Ruckelshaus overruled his own judge, and banned DDT. He had attended none of the hearing, and admitted later he'd never read any of the transcript. Dr. Taylor concludes he did it to please his friends in the Environmental Defense Fund.
The American DDT ban triggered similar bans across the First World–and with it, their refusal to fund its use in poor countries. Malaria resurged all over the tropics. Rachel Carson, and Ruckelshaus were the indirect cause of more deaths than Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Genghis Khan combined. You can even throw in the Black Plague and still not match the numbers.
DDT is not only the most cost-effective mosquito killer, it is also a powerful mosquito repellent. If tropic homes get a mild interior DDT whitewash, the insects don't come in, bite somebody, and then die two hours later. They just don't come in! DDT is, by itself, capable of reducing a malaria outbreak by 80 percent–quickly.
Global population is now rapidly stabilizing, and will trend slowly down after 2050. Is it time to renounce the "overpopulation" panic and use the best chemistry to suppress the awful malaria scourge? Remember, each case of malaria causes not only the victim's near-constant suffering, but the need for much nursing care from his family. Malaria may be enough, by destroying the vigorous health of its citizens, to explain the poverty of so many tropical countries
Meanwhile, Ohio's governor is trying for an EPA waiver for malathion, another persistent pesticide, to control the bedbugs that were once eradicated by DDT and are making a vigorous comeback. We wish him good luck.
Conflict of interest note: I was proud to be interviewed in this film, and received no remuneration. My deepest thanks go to Dr. Taylor for his constructive dedication to correcting our society's massive, tragic malaria mistake.

Hospitals Welcome Two-Midnight Rule Delay
Providers are pleased that CMS is delaying enforcement of new guidelines governing Medicare reimbursements for short-term hospital stays, but they insist the new rule is flawed and say they will continue to oppose it.
CMS's decision late Friday to delay full implementation of a new rule that reforms Medicare reimbursement for short-term hospital admissions is drawing cautious praise from providers and their allies in Washington, D.C.
In the announcement, officials at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services stated that they are extending the so-called two-midnight rule's "probe and educate" transition period to the end of the federal fiscal year on Sept. 30. Full enforcement of the policy had been slated to begin in April.
"Hopefully, the two-midnights [rule] delay is a recognition that we do need to go back to the table… and seniors will know what their costs are going to be," said Lori Prater, legislative counsel to U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach, a Pennsylvania Republican who has been pushing for delay and revision of the new rule since December.
Under the rule, which CMS issued in August 2013, hospitals that admit patients for less than two nights will receive reimbursement at Medicare B outpatient rates. The rule states that hospital admissions shorter than two midnights in length are "generally inappropriate for payment under Medicare Part A, regardless of the hours the patient came to the hospital or whether the patient used a bed."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Clunkers law to siphon $920 million from highway fund
Tom Jackson
| August 11, 2009 |
Welcome to the law of unintended consequences. The math is simple although one doubts Congress bothered. When you replace gas guzzlers with more efficient vehicles you reduce gas consumption which reduces the amount of gas tax money going into the six year highway trust fund.
The $920 million estimated here is actually chump change compared to the hit the trust fund will take in a few years when hybrids and electric cars become common place. Congress hasn't had the courage to raise the gas tax in two decades. What do you think they're going to do when receipts are cut by 25 or 30 percent?

Matthew R. Schulman, M.D. board certified plastic surgeon and Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine has introduced a new method of breast augmentation using Botulinum Toxin, or Botox. According to Dr. Schulman Botox-Assisted Breast Augmentation has two major advantages - less post-operative pain and a more rapid final cosmetic result.
"In comparing Breast Augmentation in New York City cases done with and without Botox, our before and after photos show those surgeries done with Botox reveal one month results comparable to the four month results of surgeries done without Botox."
The procedure is done as a standard Breast Augmentation where the implant is placed under the muscle. (This is the preferred position of implantation.)
"The most exciting outcome we have seen with Botox-Assisted Breast Augmentation is the rapid achievement of the final cosmetic result," says Schulman. Because the muscle is relaxed, the implant can drop into position faster. After surgery, implants will naturally appear higher on the chest as the chest muscle is contracting against the implant. With regular breast augmentation it takes about three to four MONTHS for the implants to drop into the desired position. By paralyzing the muscle with Botox-Assisted Breast Augmentation, implants can settle into position in about three to four WEEKS.
According to Dr. Schulman, with Botox-Assisted Breast Augmentation there is less pain and a more rapid return to normal activities. Additionally, patients have a better overall cosmetic appearance in a shorter amount of time - getting them into halter tops, strapless dresses and bikinis faster!!
For more information regarding Botox Assisted Breast Augmentation, to set-up an interview with Dr. Schulman or to view some dramatic before and after images, contact Amie at 212.289.1851 or email@example.com

Hi: 8° Lo:2°
By Ian Dipple Thursday 15 May 2014 Updated: 15/05 21:21
A TOTAL of £26.5million needs to be injected into Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust to ensure it can continue to pay its bills.
The money is needed as a result of the £14.2million deficit the Trust ended the last financial year with and the £9.8million of debt it is expected to run up by the end of March next year.
The Trust has already taken out a loan of £12million from the government in 2012 as it was short of cash as a result of the £18million historic deficit due to overspending in the early 2000s.
Conversations are underway with the Trust Development Authority about the amount of support required but the money is likely to come in the form of a long-term loan from the Department of Health or through Public Dividend Capital - an interest only loan and only repayable if the Trust has the money.
The Government has already approved temporary loans of £4million for April with another £5.75million set to be borrowed in May and June while a permanent solution is finalised.
The £9.8million deficit the Trust is forecasting for this year is partly because deals to pay them more money for teaching and ensuring they are fully paid for additional patients treated through A&E above contracted levels, are being phased in over three years.
Chris Tidman, the Trust's director of resources, said with that money factored in the actual deficit was £3.8million and was a result of having to continue to run paediatrics, maternity and A&E services at both Redditch and Worcester, which would be resolved through the reconfiguration project.
"We operate a number of services over a number of sites at the moment and that was one of the issues around reconfiguration, not just clinical safety," he said.
"After re-organisation I'd expect us to address that level of deficit."

If you're looking for a steal on a good home theater receiver, this is probably it. While technically it appears to be a 2010 model (hence the 2010 in the model number), it's new (not a refurb) and about $600 off the original price. Who cares that it may have been sitting in the box for a while?
Electronics Expo is selling this unit for $198. Sony's own site lists the original price as $799.
What you get for $198 is 7.1 channels/100 watts per channel, DLNA and internet music streaming, an iPod app for control, 3D pass through, a Faroudja DCDI 1080p upscaling and 4 HDMI inputs.
And here's something really unique—this model doesn't simply offer an Ethernet port for streaming music; it also includes a built-in four-port Ethernet switch. With this switch you can plug in your Playstation3, Roku box, connected Blu-ray player and smart TV without worrying about how many posts your router has.
If you don't want to shop through Electronic Expo's own web site, the retailer is offering it on Amazon for $252.

The ever-resilient Marianne Faithfull returns to Royce Hall for a concert featuring the work on her latest critically acclaimed album, "Easy Come Easy Go." A rock icon since the 1964 when she recorded the hit "As Tears Go By," Faithfull has, despite hard times, re-emerged repeatedly onto the pop music scene in the decades since, each time with something profound to offer listeners. Her latest collection of songs, carefully selected with famed record producer Hal Willner, shows how masterfully she makes any song fully her own, whether it's Dolly Parton's "Down from Dover," Billie Holiday's "Solitude" or "The Crane Wife 3" by contemporary indie band The Decemberists. For this performance, Marianne will be joined by a magical quartet of Greg Cohen on bass, Smokey Hormel on guitar, Rob Burger on keyboards and Joey Baron on drums.

ear Students and Parents,
As the demands and complexities of teaching children increase, it becomes more evident that we all need to work together to insure that our children reach their potential. We believe that all of us - the school and the community- must work together in an extended family environment to insure success for all our students. We believe it is everyone's responsibility to empower children with the creative, intellectual, and decision-making skills necessary for them to become academically, socially, physically, and emotionally successful and responsible.
If you have questions or concerns that arise at any time, please do not hesitate to give your child's teacher or me a call. I look forward to having a long and rewarding relationship with you and your family.

Obama, Jeter tee off on exclusive Vegas course
NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) -- President Barack Obama is playing golf at an exclusive Las Vegas-area course with a retired shortstop, a Democratic Party donor and a newspaper owner.
The White House says the foursome at the Shadow Creek golf course in North Las Vegas on Saturday includes retired New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, Obama campaign supporter Stephen Cloobeck and Brian Greenspun, owner of the Las Vegas Sun newspaper.
Casino mogul Steve Wynn built Shadow Creek in 1989 out of empty desert flatland. It is now owned by MGM Resorts International.
Obama flew to Las Vegas on Friday to discuss actions he's taken to lift the threat of deportation from nearly 5 million people living illegally in the U.S.
On Sunday he returns to the White House.

Just a question but have you guys thought above making a concentrate and using it after the fermentation? I hate to say this but lipton makes the concentrate and you could add a bit to bring the flavor up. You could also use a few cups of water and a bunch of tea bags. Make sure it is boilingafter the tea bags are in the water then remove from the heat and cover for about 10 minutes. Remove the bags and squeeze out the liquid. Then simmer just the liquid until it reduces half the amount. This would give a very strong concentration to play with a few ounces at a time.
thats what im gonna do next try making a concentrate myself andadding during the the secondary and im gonna try and triple up the amount of tea in the primary in another test
boiled 2 cups of water added 4 tea bags(thw amount reccomended 4 1 gal of tea) and used it to top off the rest of the gal i had made already im gonna bottle tomorrow and taste it
I finally just gave up on mine...

ididnt wanna give up yet hopefully this will work i just got some more yeast and will prob try again this weekend im gonna use 12 bags instead of 4
do you think its ok to bottle so soon after adding the concentrate. the airlock is not bubbling at all but itis a little cloudy since i added the concentrate. I think it might just be a little to much tea in 1 gal of water
It should be OK to bottle so long as you didn't add any more sugar to it, just tea...
no i didnt add any sugar but have a feeling its gonna need to be back sweetened
just tried it and its ok but def not great or even that good add somesugar but its not enough its gonna need some more im no expert by any means but i think it has a slight cider taste and 1 lemon is not enough im gonna just leave it alone for a couple months
I became a member of this site in May of this year, hoping to find someone with a twisted tea recipe. I make homemade concord grape wine every year and I thought it would be fun to experiment with new things.
I posted in May sometime hoping to find someone with a recipe but no luck. I figured I'd move on and try it on my own. Remind you, I'm an amateur homebrewer and I knew very little about it. But I did a lot of research to develop a recipe and came up with multiple experiments.
Snce it has been almost 5 months of experimentation I almost want to give up since I can't come up with any conclusions. So, as you can see I decided to go back to the homebrew forum to see if there was anything available for Twisted Tea Recipes. I came across these threads and read through each of them realizing I encountered similar problems just like you two.
The biggest problem I've encountered is the lack of tea flavor upon completion of the fermentation. To try to resolve this problem I tried 4 types of experiments:
1) increase the quantity of tea bags, before fermentation, and steep just enough before the tea becomes too tannic
2) over steep the tea bags
3) cook up some tea concentrate and apply it to the secondary fermentation
4) switch type of yeast (champagne, wine, ale); I haven't tried lager or cider yeast yet
5) The last batch aged for 2 months, longer than the other experiments, and there was very little tea flavor even after the secondary fermentation
6) changed the kind of sugar
I made sure the temperature was right for the different yeasts and I even tried the secondary fermentation both inside and outside of the refrigerator. I tried fermenting with malt and hops and followed beer recipes very carefully, but I noticed a slight difference in the tea flavor after the primary fermentation. There was a little more tea flavor than normal but it gradually reduced the longer it aged. I even continued to add more tea flavor to it.
I've been trying to research tea to see if there is something in the chemical composition of tea that doesn't work well with alcohol because I know tea is an antioxidant (if that inhibits anything). I have no idea. I wonder if there is some kind of natural preservative for flavor.
So, this is where I stand right now:
Since tea is a non-fermentable there needs to be sugar added to wort or there needs to be a natural fermentable like fruit or even a malt. I wonder if that will make a significant difference in the flavor. I am about to experiment with lager yeast since I heard that it may produce a neutral yeast flavor to help accentuate the tea flavor. I also want to experiment with sorghum, molasses, or rice malt. I am also thinking about adding tea concentrate a little bit at a time during the fermentation.
As I said before I am an amateur homebrewer and if you have any ideas or tips I'd greatly appreciate it. I also hope that my observations can help you as well. I'll update you as I go along.

Washington: A new study has identified 22 locations, including 13 that are newly discovered, that are believed to play a role in causing schizophrenia.
The genome-wide association study gives the researchers the clearest picture to date of two different pathways that might be going wrong in people with schizophrenia.
The results of the research conducted by lead author Patrick F. Sullivan- professor in the departments of Genetics and Psychiatry and director of the Center for Psychiatric Genomics at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine- are based on a multi-stage analysis that began with a Swedish national sample of 5,001 schizophrenia cases and 6,243 controls, followed by a meta analysis of previous GWAS studies, and finally by replication of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 168 genomic regions in independent samples.
Sullivan said that one of the two pathways identified by the study is a calcium channel pathway.
This pathway includes the genes CACNA1C and CACNB2, whose proteins touch each other as part of an important process in nerve cells. The other is the "micro-RNA 137" pathway. This pathway includes its namesake gene, MIR137 - which is a known regulator of neuronal development - and at least a dozen other genes regulated by MIR137.
The study was published in the journal Nature Genetics.

We've all heard the sales pitch for going freelance:
"Be your own boss!"
"Never work with another jerk!"
"Control your own deadlines!"
After working freelance for five years, I think the opposite is true: Freelancers have lots of bosses — they're called clients. Like other bosses, some of these clients can be jerky, but you put up with them because they sign your checks. And they always have deadlines, just like regular bosses.
Freelancing is hard. You have to be a self-starter every day — not just when you're job hunting. You have to keep better track of your finances and schedule than a lot of your office-going friends. And you must have a tough stomach for dry spells.
But these challenges aren't slowing a growing trend toward freelance. More than 17 million Americans identify as being self-employed — 10 percent more than in 2011, says The Wall Street Journal. And the number is only expected to rise: By 2018, it should be more like 24 million.
Granted, the trend isn't entirely self-willed. One in seven freelancers say they're now self-employed because they were laid off or lost their job for another reason beyond their control, according to a poll by the back-office services firm MBO.
But whether you're freelance by choice or force, there are benefits — beyond the ones you hear about all the time. Here are three:
You become a pro at personal finances
Freelancers don't get a steady paycheck — their checking accounts tend to rise and fall with the flow of work. The stress of these ups and downs are best mitigated with one thing: Becoming a personal finance ninja.
Out of necessity, freelancers tend to run a tight budget — and know exactly how and where to save. For example, a freelancer who works from home probably has a good idea how much they're saving each week on child care and transportation, or exactly how much they can write off for their home office.
But, if the thought of having to learn all this stuff from scratch sounds intimidating, don't worry: There are plenty of apps to help out. Check out Manilla for bills and payment reminders, Expensify to keep track of business-related expenses like travel, and Mint to centralize all your accounts and credit cards.
You learn the true benefit of working in your sweatpants
One of the most-cited reasons to go freelance is "you get to work in your sweatpants!"
This isn't always as fun as it sounds. When work is rolling in, living in your sweatpants can make you feel like a king. But after one slow month, that feeling tends to dry up, and you may find yourself jonesing for a skirt suit.
The real benefit of "working in your sweatpants," in my experience, is that office clothes are expensive, and you can save by only having a couple "business" outfits to wear to client meetings. That way, when things are going well, you can take the cash you would have spent on slacks and button-downs, and instead splurge on cool sunglasses or a weekend trip.
You'll be the first of your friends to understand ObamaCare
That's because you'll be the first of your friends to use it.
One of the scariest things about going freelance is either forgoing benefits or spending a ton on health insurance. With ObamaCare, that won't be a problem. Here's The Wall Street Journal on the topic:
A wildcard in the rising numbers of independent workers, said Zaino, is the Affordable Care Act, which will make it easier for people to purchase health insurance on their own. That law will give more Americans the freedom to tell their bosses to "take this job and shove it," as the country music song eloquently put it. [The Wall Street Journal]

We spend more money on guns, boats, decoys and other waterfowl accoutrements than any mother in-law would ever approve of, just to lather it all in December marsh slop. Our trucks are dented from sliding into obstacles backing down icy boat ramps, and their wiring is shot from the strain of trailer-light illumination. It's too hot in teal season, too darn cold by the time the mallards arrive. The wind either blows too hard, not hard enough or in the wrong direction. Or it rains. Not just a sprinkle, but the kind of downpour in which no self-respecting duck would ever fly. Unfortunately for us, old Fred believes ducks fly in the rain, and if one member of the group wants to hunt, we all hunt.
