M&A to pick up? Lead Recovery?

I have been hearing a lot of people talking about how M&A is starting to pick up and it will pick up even more as the economy starts to recover. I have also heard that some analysts think the banking sector will help lead the economy out of recession.

When do you think M&A will really see a large enough pick up to stem the tide of layoffs from I-banks and start getting some kind of decent pay back (bonuses)?

Will it be by the end of this year? Next year? I'm curious to see what people think.

Yea? Well I heard from Senior Vice-President of Wealth Management of one of BB that Dow Jones will test and break resistance at 6,500 and go under 6,000. Then start slowly recovering in the fall of 2009. He is one of the best advisors and does his own research. So go figure.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.
