The firm also noted that Merrill Lynch has some of the most significant exposure to CDO’s, mortgages, and leveraged loans. Shares closed yesterday at $26.21 and are trading south of $25.00 this Friday in pre-market trading.
Just yesterday, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) issued an SEC Filing showing trading losses in one of its hedge fund groups.
