We are doing great excluding the loss <BG>

PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - Money manager and financial services firm Mellon Financial Corp.(NYSE:MEL - News) on Tuesday reported a drop in quarterly profit after taking a hefty provision to cover a $100 million unsecured loan to troubled telecoms giant WorldCom.

Excluding the special provision for loan losses, earnings were in line with forecasts of analysts polled by research firm Thomson First Call, who had expected earnings ranging from 40 cents to 49 cents a share, with a mean estimate of 47 cents.

YZ, Sid Glickenhaus was talking the D word in Barron's this week. I think it's possible, but a deep recession is more likely. Not a double dip, though, as we haven't had the first dip yet, at least not officially. Richebacher is calling for much of the same.
