non-investment grade ... would that be Boredcom debt? :)
I would imagine these are long-term investments and can be held without marking to market. In the old days, the financial firms would just hold until things got better and prices went back up. I would think there is no reason to try to liquidate them in troubled times as there should be no need for the cash.

Merrill Lynch issued report today that was probably worse than the Barron's one. Haven't had time to read it yet. That is probably also why q was not up as much as a lot of stocks.
