The disclosure issue is a red herring. The disclosures you are likely to see in the future will look something like this:

We received compensation for underwriting services from XYZ company within the last 12 months.

We received compensation for financial advisory services from XYZ company within the last 12 months.

Note, that existing disclosures include:

MLPF&S was a manager of the most recent public offering of securities of the company within the last three years.

The real deal here is the liability for their previous actions with regards to fiduciary duty towards the firms' client base. That will be a tough corner for Wall St firms to wiggle out of.

Especially with Merrill who orders its' brokers only to recommend stocks that are recommended by the firm. All the plaintiffs lawyers will have to do is connect the dots.

This will be yet another reason for people to move towards the discount service model.

all imho.
