Wall Street Lays Egg With Its Nest Eggs: Retirement Lessons of Dumb Moves by 'Smart Money'
The Wall Street Journal; subscription may be required 
Sept. 29, 2008
Excerpt: In the past week, Merrill Lynch's Web site still displayed an article, 'Understanding Your Entire Portfolio,' full of sensible advice. If shares in your employer's stock are 'a significant portion of your investments,' it said, 'you'll want to consider the potential impact of a falling stock price on your portfolio.' Physician, heal thyself. At the end of 2006, Merrill employees had 27% of all their retirement money in Merrill shares. In 2007, Merrill employees lost $669.8 million on their holdings of Merrill, and so far this year, probably at least $400 million.
