October 28, 2008 3:02 PM EDT
Shares of Legg Mason (NYSE: LM) have traded as low as $11.09 today, marking an 11-year low for the money-manager's stock. After hitting the new 52-week low, the stock rebounded, but is still down more than 10%, most recently trading around $12.50.

Today's move is notably as Legg Mason is scheduled to report Q2 earnings tomorrow before the market opens.
