“There goes the house in Maui,” a distraught Peter Lyter was overhead groaning while rubbing his head this afternoon in his Manhattan office.

Meanwhile across the country in San Francisco, broker Ed Founder wandered the halls while rubbing his head, saying repeatedly, “This is the beginning of the end.”

Industry experts are especially concerned because after an extended period of disappointing stocks news results, brokers often end up shooting themselves in the now-tenderized heads.
