Guess Who’s Getting Smoked Again?

In all fairness, he could’ve dumped his entire fund into FCX puts and made a bundle. But, more likely than not, a Mr. William Albert Ackman is simply idled in his luxurious office taking hits.

Some rough math here, as the institutional holdings data in Exodus is being updated right now, it looks like Billy could be down almost 10% for the year, matching his pals from Greenlight Capital and Valueact, as well as his nemesis Carl “give me three board seats” Icahn.

According to recent filings, here are Ackman’s largest holdings and YTD returns.

QSR -15%

VRX -15.2%

PAH -31%

ZTS -7%

APD -8%

MDLZ -7%

HHC -7.5%

HLF (short) -6% (yay!)

Icahn’s holdings are simply perverse.

LNG -8%

AAPL -6%

FCX -36%

PYPL -8%

HLF  -6%

FDML -18%

HTZ -19%

Einhorn’s Greenlight looks to be off to another bad start.

AAPL -6%

MU -11%

KORS -7%

SUNE -34%

DDS -4.7%

CNX -12%

GM -11%

TWX +8%

CBI -7.5%

GRMN -10.3%

As for Valueact (I’m bored by now)

VRX -15.2%

ADBE -4.4%

HAL -7.1%

MSI -5.6%

BHI -10%

CBG -13%

You get the picture. It’s a damned bloody start to the new year.
