sector is in the dumps. According
to PWC, deal volume in the first half of 2013 declined 31% as compared

recent Bloomberg
article noted that the volume of acquisitions valued at less than $1 billion

These days, monetary policy moves stock prices more than economic data releases, says Mike Niehuser, founder of Beacon Rock Research.
