    Merril Lynch Posts $4.65 Billion 2nd Qtr Loss

    SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Merrill Lynch & Co. reported a $4.65 billion second-quarter net loss late Thursday as the brokerage firm continued to be hit by write-downs on large mortgage-related exposures. Merrill said it lost $4.65 billion, or $4.97 a share, during the second quarter, compared to net income of $2.14 billion, or $2.24 a share, in the same period a year earlier.

    Those idiots should have posted that on a Friday after the bell to give the market the weekend to get over the shock. Unless they want to let the short sellers have a ball Friday morning.
    In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

        I bet you it's going to bring down all the financials with it.

              Yea it's gonna piss me off if it takes FRE down with it. I bought on a low yesterday and had a nice ride today. Hoping for a bit more before I sell.

                                  No shit!!!

                                  My next door neighbor is the vice-president of a Merril Lynch brokerage. I was talking to him last week about the markets, and he was bragging about making a killing in oil. I figured they were doing great by talking to them. Maybe that explains why he lowered his head when I started talking about the housing and banking market.

                                    I wish I had enough money to experience losses that big.

                                        So where are AZ/CA/NV/FL real estate investors? I thought you guys said economic fundamentals were so great, demographics so good, demand so high, money so cheap, supply of foreign suckers so large, prices would never go down.

                                        Huh?
