When will the deal market recover

[Moderator 1]

U.S. deal volume has declined 57% this year. Is this the bottom? Are there any hot sectors? Will there be any geographic or industry sectors that will rebound first? And finally, when can we expect some concrete evidence of a recovery?

[Marco95]

We are nowhere close to the bottom and getting further away every day. As the government continues to stiffle innovation, tax the productive members of society and move closer to socialism, we are moving our country in the wrong direction. Everything that government is doing to us today will come back to haunt us in the years to come requiring an ever greater burden from the productive members of society and thereby reducing our ability to add value to the economy. You asked for it, you got it, CHANGE.
