Good times flowing?

It seems there's a couple of new multibillion dollar deals in the headlines everyday recently. Today I just read the Diamond Foods and Pringles are merging in a $2B+ deal and TI is buying National Semi for $6.5b.

So, are IBs going to have a banner year this year?

2010 was a helluva year for Canadian M&A....first quarter is showing a pretty scorching start to the year up north again.
