When all supports have been broken, it is not easy to forecast how low a stock will go in future weeks. How could anyone have forecasted Nortel's lows from $90 to less than $1? But any aggressive trader who wants to try buying this stock would be well advised to wait for a decisive reversal pattern.

Now is not the time to try catching this falling knife.

Sipkin said that besides exposure to CDOs and monolines, Merrill should also experience deterioration of its subprime, Alt-A and leveraged loans.

He expects Merrill's retail business to report solid results for the second quarter, but doesn't think it will be enough to offset its weak banking business, given asset marks and decreased merger and acquisition activity.

Sipkin added that consideration of sales of its stakes in Blackrock Inc. and Bloomberg L.P. are a "negative" for Merrill, as they some of the "few remaining positive elements of the Merrill Lynch story amid the consecutive quarterly losses."

Merrill shares closed Monday at $30.36, and has lost 39% since the end of April. Tomi Kilgore tk1
