On the Private Equity end, IMO It's more advantageous for private equity to cash out through (IPO's, private sales & taking public again)in these market conditions. Inorganic acquisition growth minded corporations being the customers. RE: B&L by Valeant and US foods by Sysco, a few examples coming to mind. If market conditions stay positive. I expect more of the same from that avenue In 2014. On the corporate side. If economic activity continues to pick up the pace with more certainty. I'd expect some more activity in the corporate side. Both bolt on, and big deals. I still think there's still a lot of Fortune 500 companies with cash burning a hole in their pockets.
