NEW YORK -

Investment bank Merrill Lynch & Co. said Friday credit and mortgage woes will lead to it post a third-quarter loss of up to 50 cents per share, after taking roughly $5 billion in writedowns.

The bulk of the losses will come from marking down the value of collateralized debt obligations and subprime mortgages - loans given to customers with poor credit history.
