Net Loss of $7.8bn (£3.9bn) for 2007

Merrill Lynch today blamed the problems in the US Mortgage market for the loss. Company chairman and chief exec John Thain called the performance, "clearly unacceptable". My guess is that he must have been on holiday during the period that the losses were generated.
