I think the user Av's answer (using Liouville's theorem) is correct, and a very simple argument, though it does use the fairly hefty machinery that goes into "a bounded analytic function is constant".

EDIT: as tome kindly points out, e^x f(x) need not remain bounded as x goes to -infinity, or indeed any other direction of infinity on the complex plane.

Why? It's not bounded towards negative infinity.

Hah, you're right. This is what I get for trying this five minutes after waking up.
