Just last week, TIME had a puff piece on Carla and well she was doing.

A bit off topic for this thread, but I'm not really all that fond of Carla. She seems to be a copycat, trying to merge and downsize just like the boys. Not necessarily the wrong thing, but I doubt she's doing it for the purpose of strengthening and growing the business. Rather, she's doing it because she wants to play with the boys. (To be fair, I don't think that many of "the boys" do the downsize/merger thing for the right reasons either.) Her purpose is to draw attention to herself so she can proclaim, "see, I can downsize and merge with the best of them. Hear me roar!"

As for the market, I predict some up days and some down days. I'm neutral at this level. Note that my conclusion isn't based on a great deal of research.
