Blodget leaving Merrill Lynch (MER) By Anne Stanley Analyst Henry Blodget is leaving Merrill Lynch (MER) . Blodget told The New York Times he had accepted a buyout that Merrill Lynch offered to nearly 50,000 workers. "It just seemed like a good time to pursue the next thing," Blodget, 35, told the newspaper. Blodget became notorious among investors after he predicted that shares of Amazon.com would soar to $400 in 1998. At the time, the Seattle-baed e-tailer's stock was around $240 a share, but did eventually surpass $400 a share. The Associated Press noted he took criticism about his stock picks, including Pets.com and EToys, both of which failed before they turned a profit. Shares of Merrill Lynch gained $1 on Wednesday to close at $51.90.
