If the two sides fail to reach a deal by midnight on March 1, then their seven-month trade war could escalate. "People are expecting some sort of positive news on trade and tariffs with China fairly soon," said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Chao has met at least 10 times with politicians and business leaders from the state in response to requests from McConnell’s office, according to documents provided to Politico by the watchdog group American Oversight. In some cases, those people later received what they were hoping for from Chao’s department, including infrastructure grants, the designation of an interstate highway and assistance in getting state funds for a highway project — although the documents don’t indicate that the meetings led to those outcomes.

The response came in the form of a rare, succinct statement from Coats. The second of its two sentences read: “We have been clear in our assessments of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and their ongoing, pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy, and we will continue to provide unvarnished and objective intelligence in support of our national security.”

"Right now the downside risk has been not as steep, but there`s always a concern that something happens last-minute," said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial in Newark, New Jersey.

"This bill is good news for Texas small businesses and retailers who comply with sales tax regulation," Burrows said in the release. "This bill helps level the playing field by allowing the state to require remote sellers to collect and remit taxes in much the same way it requires countless businesses large and small who have a physical presence here in Texas to act as responsible partners with the state by collecting and remitting these taxes."

As part of variable supplemental dividend formula, the amount declared this quarter was a lower 50% of this quarter's net investment income in excess of the quarterly base dividend an amount that resulted in no more than $0.15 per share decline in net asset value over the current and preceding quarter. Ian will discuss the calculation mechanics in more detail later.

One such example, during the quarter we were refinanced out of our debt investment at 103 call protection by pro-lender, who despite having the benefit of the call protection was willing to reprice the facility at a spread that was 225 basis points tighter than the existing levels with greater transaction leverage. For us, we are not motivated by the desire to gather assets or to gain market share, but rather by the desire to generate the best risk-adjusted return for our shareholders.

We estimate that old phones—which are prime for replacement—represent over 12% of the smartphone installed base today. By our math, that’s a record level, and it should be enough to help smartphone makers accelerate growth of the newest technology—4G phones—in 2019 even though 5G is slated to arrive a year or two later.

OK. I mean, is there a time when we should look -- any time whether it was -- especially going forward, is there a really a larger scale turnaround in the future that we should sort of be aware of -- it might come -- it might be '21. I mean, it doesn't matter what year. I'm just trying to figure that there is sort of the normal scope of turnaround.
