In late-April, Merrill Lynch introduced a quantitative model to provide the foundation for its country asset allocation. The model makes use of three predictive variables and two current variables.

Merrill Lynch faces huge loss due to bad mortgage write-downs
2008-01-17 22:08:00 Last time when I wrote about Merrill Lynch posting record losses in its 93 years of existence, I knew some more pain was left, what the results exceeded all imaginations.

2007-12-25 02:39:00 Investment company S’pore Temasek to pump US$4.4b into Merrill Lynch WASHINGTON : US banking and brokerage titan Merrill Lynch said on Monday that Temasek Holdings Pte.

There is a housing bailout going on?but it?s not for you
2007-12-21 18:19:00 The Federal Reserve announced another $20 billion in funds auctioned off to commercial banks today in order to help prop them up in the wake of the global mortgage meltdown. Especially telling is why the auction is working so well when previous attempts to throw cash out of helicopters inject liquidity into the market haven’t worked so well: Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues decided to try the new process because their efforts to inject funds into the banking system through the Fed’s discount window, which makes direct loans to banks, had proven less successful than Fed officials had hoped. Many banks had avoided using the Fed’s discount window out of concern that investors would see the move as an indication of underlying problems at their financial institutions. The auction process was developed as a second way to get money into the banking system with the hopes that it would not carry the stigma of the discount window. (Emphasis added.) In...
