Even Though the Economic Crisis Has Not Yet "Bottomed-Out," the "Bottom Fishing" Has Started

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - April 9, 2009) - Alexander Mirtchev, president of Krull Corp., discusses the signs of revival of investment activity, in particular targeting assets that appear undervalued, irrespective of the continuing global economic downturn. Sporadic indications that growth in certain sectors may be on the rebound are far from reliable precursors of the end of the economic crisis.

However, the continued uncertainty about the probable onset of recovery has not deterred select market participants, including private equity and sovereign wealth funds, from becoming more active in seeking investment targets among distressed assets that are perceived to have upside potential, in particular in areas aligned with their new agendas.

The targets for such "bottom fishing" are also determined by the consideration that market recovery would be quite uneven, with some industrial sectors pulling ahead, while others would remain on the downward slope for longer periods, making the prospects of recovery dependent on the depth and length of the slump in each specific industry.
