June 27, 2008 8:01 AM EDT

CNBC's Charles Gasparino reports that Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER) is expected to write-down an additional $3-$5 billion this quarter and report a loss on the quarter.

Gasparino said there is speculation Merrill Lynch may seek a merger-of-equals with a deposit bank. Gasparino said Merrill could also sell assets (Bloomberg, BlackRock), or sell stock.

Gasparino said Merrill CEO John A. Thain has a credibility issue and its looks like he will have to do something he said in the past he wouldn't.
