But according to HSBC, we may well return to the world of deflation in 2017, which bodes well for dividend stocks. "Deflationary pressures have been a long time in the making, are largely structural in nature and will not disappear quickly. Aging populations, low productivity growth and high levels of debt are at the very root of this issue, which continues to linger," wrote strategist Herald van der Linde.

While U.S. government bond yields are currently rising, they could fall later in 2017, making utilities, consumer staples and dividend plays popular again. Tencent (700.Hong Kong/TCEHY), NetEase (NTES) and Largan Precision (3008.Taiwan) could all surprise with higher dividend payments, predicts HSBC.
Generally, if you have an NOL for a tax year ending in 2017, you must carry back the entire amount of the NOL to the 2 tax years before the NOL year (the carryback period), and then carry forward any remaining NOL. (2017 Pub 536 page 3, 2nd column) If your NOL is more than the taxable income of the year you carry it to (figured before deducting the NOL), you generally will have an NOL carryover to the next year.

Bonus depreciation for equipment, computer software, and certain improvements to nonresidential real property allows an immediate deduction of 50% for equipment placed in service in 2017, 40% in 2018, and 30% in 2019.
The TCJA allows small business taxpayers with average annual gross receipts of $25 million or less in the prior three-year period to use the cash method of accounting. The law expands the number of small business taxpayers eligible to use the cash method of accounting and exempts these small businesses from certain accounting rules for inventories, cost capitalization and long-term contracts. As a result, more small business taxpayers can change to cash method accounting starting after Dec. 31, 2017.
The TCJA makes two modifications to existing law for a C corporation that (1) was an S corporation on Dec. 21, 2017 and revokes its S corporation election after Dec. 21, 2017, but before Dec. 22, 2019, and (2) has the same owners of stock in identical proportions on the date of revocation and on Dec. 22, 2017.
The main idea with IRA investing is that you want stocks that will grow steadily over the years, so you can take advantage of the tax-free compounding power of retirement accounts. Stocks with a long history of dividend growth are a good place to start.
These are just a couple of examples, but you can apply the principles mentioned here to other stocks. Look for consistently growing revenue and dividends, and business models that work no matter what the economy is doing. If you do this, you can build an IRA that has the potential to grow a big retirement nest egg for you.

Beginning in 2017, elevated mortalities in North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) were documented in Canada and the United States and necessitated an Unusual Mortality Event (UME) be declared. The whales impacted by the UME include dead, injured, and sick individuals, who represent more than 20 percent of the population, which is a significant impact on an endangered species where deaths are outpacing births. Additionally, research demonstrates that only about 1/3 of right whale deaths are documented. The preliminary cause of mortality, serious injury, and morbidity (sublethal injury and illness) in most of these whales is from entanglements or vessel strikes. Given that the latest preliminary estimate suggests there are fewer than 350 North Atlantic right whales remaining, the many individual whales involved in the UME are a significant setback to the recovery of this endangered species.
The distribution of cumulative emissions around the world is shown in the treemap. Treemaps are used to compare entities (such as countries or regions) in relation to others, and relative to the total. Here countries are presented as rectangles and colored by region. The size of each rectangle corresponds to the sum of CO2 emissions from a country between 1751 and 2017. Combined, all rectangles represent the global total.
The map for 2017 shows the large inequalities of contribution across the world that the first treemap visualization has shown. The USA has emitted most to date: more than a quarter of all historical CO2: twice that of China which is the second largest contributor. In contrast, most countries across Africa have been responsible for less than 0.01% of all emissions over the last 266 years.
Strengths: Highly productive SEC player with exceptional hand skills and pass-rushing techniques. Barnett is the most pro-ready guy on this list. The Tennessee product possesses karate-like hand skills and superb snap-count anticipation. As one of the few pass rushers in the 2017 class with the capacity to win with finesse or power off the edge, Barnett is a problem for offensive tackles incapable of handling his martial-arts assault. Not to mention, he displays a non-stop motor that allows him to rack up sacks on "hustle and flow" plays from the back side. While some skeptics will question his athleticism, it is hard to knock his consistent dominance and production in a conference viewed as the hotbed for NFL talent.

As to the third quarter of 2017 specifically, Matador estimates that its oil production will increase by 5 to 7% and that its natural gas production will increase by 2 to 4%, resulting in sequential total oil equivalent production (BOE basis) growth of 4 to 6% from the second quarter of 2017.
As in previous quarters, we continued to strategically add to and improve our acreage position in the Delaware Basin at attractive prices during the second quarter of 2017. This additional acreage was acquired primarily in and near our existing asset areas in the Delaware Basin in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico and Loving County, Texas. We also executed several key acreage trades with other operators during the second quarter of 2017, which improved our ability to operate in certain areas while actually increasing our operated well locations in others.
Total realized revenues, including realized hedging gains and losses and third-party midstream services revenues, increased 2% sequentially from $114.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 to $116.4 million in the second quarter of 2017, and increased 60% year-over-year from $72.7 million in the second quarter of 2016. Realized hedging gains from oil and natural gas hedges were $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to realized hedging losses of $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 and realized hedging gains of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2016.
For the second quarter of 2017, Matador reported net income attributable to Matador Resources Company shareholders of approximately $28.5 million, or earnings of $0.28 per diluted common share on a GAAP basis, a decrease of 35% sequentially, as compared to net income attributable to Matador Resources Company shareholders of approximately $44.0 million, or earnings of $0.44 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2017, and as compared to a net loss attributable to Matador Resources Company shareholders of $105.9 million, or a loss of $1.15 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in net income in the second quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to a decline in realized oil and natural gas prices of 9% and 14%, respectively, as well as changes in certain non-cash items, including a decrease in unrealized hedging gains, an increase in depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses and an increase in stock-based compensation expenses in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to the first quarter of 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Matador Resources Company shareholders, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 4% sequentially from $70.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 to $72.7 million in the second quarter of 2017, and increased 87% year-over-year from $38.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. The sequential increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to the increases in both oil and natural gas production, which offset declines in realized oil and natural gas prices during the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to both the increases in oil and natural gas production and the increases in realized oil and natural gas prices between the second quarters of 2017 and 2016. 041b061a72
