Reuters reports: Wachovia 4th-quarter profit sinks 98 percent

Results reflected $1.7 billion of net market-related losses, virtually all of which related to structured products including collateralized debt obligations. This included losses of $1 billion related tied to subprime mortgages, $600 million for commercial mortgages, and $123 million for other consumer mortgages, Wachovia said.

Wachovia said it also set aside $1.5 billion for credit losses.
