Brokerage woes accelerate

by Tony Sagami on January 21, 2009

Investors are voting with their feet.

Merrill Lynch clients pulled out $10 billion of their dollars in Q4, more than triple the amount ($3 billion) in Q3.  Total clients assets at Merrill Lynch fell from $1.48 trillion to $1.25 trillion.

You can bet that what is happening at Merrill Lynch (MER: 11.78 0.00%) is happening at all the other brokers too. There’s more bad news coming for the brokerage group.
