the "merger-friendly" situation and its immense capital needs... a quick note - it might be worth to look at a couple of outstanding unclosed mergers and do some chinese betting there. I hear that even for some bigger deals soft loans are in place but we all know that many are for "financial buyers". They bought because of an exit strategy in their minds but they possibly overpaid their targets. So... they walk away, and there are plenty of reasons to abandon a merger - adverse development clauses everywhere. This is why some of the acquisition targets drift lower as time passes.
