bankers bit couple deal enthusiasm hardly investment market optimistic putting terms weeks
Investment bankers were being a bit too optimistic in terms of deal flow. The market has stabilized but I don't think there is a lot of enthusiasm yet. We are not yet in a strong, up market. Putting in 30 deals, when a couple of weeks ago there was hardly any, may have been too much to bear.

Handspring is popular, but there are execution risks.
