Well Sklar, Finance is like a hydra, as Victor Niederhoffer (George Soros' right hand trader) says. You cut one head off, another one pops up. Investment Banking IPO M&A; going slow? There might be another asset class undervalued. I'm a Jim Rogers fan, so I do agree with him that the next era belongs to commodities. Which is why I'm planning a career path which is more onthe commodities/resources/energy/tangible real assets side of finace.

By run up i meant increasing no. of IPO's , tech deals and transactions not a slowdown. Just wanted to be clear.
