Abandon Apple Ship? Ken Heebner Dumps Almost Entire Apple Stake
Is the game theory defection dump of the world's biggest hedge fund hotel starting? In a just released 13F filing, Ken Heebner's Capital Growth Management has disclosed that he has reduced his holdings in Apple almost to zero. After holding 1.15 million AAPL shares as of June 30 (which made him holder #100 in the name sorted by size), Ken Heebner who is a regular guest on CNBC courtesy of his bullish tendencies, sold virtually his entire stake, leaving him with just 111,000 shares. One can only speculate about the causes, although it is notable that the last time Heebner did a comparable dump was in late 2008, when after the Lehman bankruptcy he liquidated half his million share stake. Is Heebner sensing something comparable to what happened in late 2008 on the horizon? Or was he satisfying margin calls? Or, most innocently, did he just sell what is probably his most profitable position, "just because" - inquiring minds want to know. We will keep an eye out on who else dumped Apple as the barrage of Q3 13F issuance begins today and ends on Monday.

This is excerpted from a post I just made on the Apple topic, but I thought I throw some pics here to pretty the place up a bit...
I’m not going to got through a whole bunch of “I told you so’s”, but Heebner knows how to count, and probably sees the margin writing on the wall: A Quick Peek Into the REAL WORLD Logic That Went Into Building the BoomBustBlog Apple Model: It’s Called Compression!!! Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
Add to that the fact that he probably realizes How Google is Looking to Cut Apple’s Margin and How the Sell Side of Wall Street Will Enable This Without Sheeple Investor’s Having a Clue. Of course, like me he may have seen Empirical Evidence of Android Eating Apple! After all, Reggie Middleton Wasn’t the ONLY Openly Apple Bear in the Blogoshpere, Was He?
Heebner is not the only one reading BoomBustBlog and/or deciding to leave the Apple cult, as excerpted from the “Peek Into the REAL WORLD Logic” link above:
“The rising popularity of devices using Google’s Android software may hurt Apple in the long term, said Michael Obuchowski, chief investment officer of First Empire Asset Management, which holds Apple shares. “Everyone is closing in and it’s a huge question of how they are going to respond,” said Obuchowski, whose firm oversees $4 billion. “I’m really worried about Apple; I’m not convinced that I’m going to hold Apple two years from now.””
“‘Commodity’ Experience
Jobs dismissed the threat of rivals. Apple’s approach of designing the software and hardware for its devices results in a better user experience, he said. By contrast, Google gives Android free to handset makers including Motorola Inc. and HTC Corp., creating a “commodity” experience, he said. “We are very committed to the integrated approach, no matter how many times Google tries to characterize it as closed,” Jobs said. He said Apple is outselling BlackBerry-maker RIM and he doesn’t “see them catching up with us in the foreseeable future.””
Notice how he failed to say Apple was outselling Android. This is material, because they were materially outselling Android 2 and 3 quarters ago. Androids growth rate is simply phenomenal, and its business model may prove unassailable unless Apple makes some drastic changes (ex. allowing cloning) – changes that I doubt management will be willing to make. Jobs also (understandably) failed to mention that the “commodity’ Androids materially outperform the iOS products in terms of features and functionality. This is pretty much in direct contravention to the concept of the term “commodity”, isn’t it???? I don’t think many Samsung Galaxy S, Droid X or HTC Evo owners will characterize their devices as “commodities”.
“Munster, who estimated Apple would sell 11 million iPhones, said last week that supply shortages likely held back sales of both the smartphone and iPad. The cost of making the iPhone may be increasing, said Andy Hargreaves, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities in Portland, Oregon. The device accounts for 43 percent of Apple’s revenue [and much more of their profit!!!]. ‘‘We saw what we think is a pretty remarkable increase in iPhone costs,” and that’s fueled concern over margins, Hargreaves said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.”
Good to know he’s been reading BoomBustBlog. Remember, supply shortages can very well stem from competition for suppliers and supplier’s attention. Is it Android again??? Here’s a hint… Does the sole patent holder and sole manufacturer of Apple’s branded IPS Retina Screen plan to become one of the most prolific Android phone vendor’s in the world? If so, where does that leave Apple? Margin compression!!! Or worse. Read up on your proprietary Apple content BoombBustBlog subscribers!
“Verizon Phone – Even so, competition is increasing. The Android operating system was the most popular smartphone software in the U.S. in the second quarter, according to Gartner Inc. Samsung, HTC, Motorola and Dell Inc. are among the companies using Android in tablet computers to rival the iPad. Hewlett-Packard Co., the largest computer maker, is developing a tablet computer.
Apple may get a sales boost by expanding the availability of the iPhone in the U.S. Verizon Wireless may begin selling it in January, two people familiar with the matter said in June.”
You can bet your left nostril hairs that the deal Verizon cut is NO WHERE near as sweet as the one AT&T gave Apple. What does this spell? Margin COMPRESSION in the quest for wider distribution to prevent Android (to late) from gaining critical mass and taking over.
There’s just so many reasons for the big Apple dumpt. Of course, there is no reason to liquidate nearly all of such a large position for liquidity reasons unless you feel it has run its course, or worse. Then again… What do I know?
Below is a graph showing the longer term trend of Apple market share in the smart phone space. It illustrates the explosive growth Apple has had through its iPhone series, and it also shows some seasonality (ex. lull before hardware upgrade season, etc.). As you can see, the growth trend, viewed either directly or as a moving average, shows marked downward momentum. Of course, it is highly unreasonable to expect a company to continue to grow at the pace that Apple has, but that is exactly what many Apple valuation models that I have come across have – literally hard-coded in. This is folly, in my opinion – particularly considering the effect of the Android competition that is already showing up. If you look closely, Apple’s smart phone market share is already showing NEGATIVE growth!
Since I know that the chart may be a little difficult to read at the tail end encompassing several years of data, I have taken the liberty to drill down to the past year to get a closer look. Remember, Android sales didn’t really get started until 8 months ago, and the big surge didn’t occur until the Evo/Droid X/Samsung Galaxy series were launched in June, July and August – most of which is not captured here. The same is to be said for Apple and the iPhone 4.

Despite increases in both the overall mobile market and more importantly, the smart phone contingent’s penetration of said market:
I am bullish on certain tech companies, but I am bearish on the US equity markets in general, as I warned in my latest Google Quarterly opinion: Google Q3 2010 review for all paying subscribers (click here to subscribe):
I'm sure everybody here got out before Heebner. There is a lot of scrambling going on now.
You're forgetting one very important sales concept, Reggie. The Apple $89 MacBook Pro Power adapters. Just today I picked up the fourth for my 2 year old MBP. They must be a big moneymaker since everyone I know has to replace the adapter at least once a year.
Manufacturing price of this sealed shut piece of crap? $2 max. Waranty? Never. Apple simply claims you are the one responsible for breaking it. Apple sucks monkeyballs.
"Manufacturing price of this sealed shut piece of crap? $2 max. Waranty? Never. Apple simply claims you are the one responsible for breaking it. Apple sucks monkeyballs."
I though you were leading up to one of those "priceless" endings like in the Basturdcard comercials. Apple has always sucked monkeyballs.

Maybe he wanted to buy CROCS ??
Or some KKD! I hear its under priced again.
I never understood the concept of a billion dollar IPO based on shitty gardening shoes...reminds me of Dutch Tulip scams a la the 1700's.
The soft material wears out faster than regular shoes, so people need to buy Crocs more frequently. Duh! Ever heard of Diet Coke? The next great stock I am looking for is a company that makes you look better, but only until you wash. Oh wait, that is AVON.
Someone call 911 and tell the Paramedics they need to check on RobotTrader, he should be put on suicide watch!
Robo was short AAPL at earnings. Not sure of his current holdings.
Heebner probably crapped his pants when John Chambers suggested state and local (schools) governments aren't buying stuff.
He's probably buying high yield muni debt on the expectation that the Fed will by this at 100 cents on the dollar, too.
Somebody is buying Muni Etf's today after the recent cliff dive.
let's see...my math is a little rusty...is that "$300+ million dollars"? "just imagine being that holder" for a moment! hard to tell with China "playing the rare earth card." Apple still is...Apple. "They make people money therefore they have friends." If he's smart (and he's one of the best) "he's eyeballing GM while keeping an eye on the tax rates which in theory will stay the same."
Well, until the ICBM's start flying again anyway.
Thought it was a plane ;)
Yeah, with no wings, ha.
Sure wish I could short USPS...

Maybe.

I used to defend their computers but once they started in the iGadget biz it seems like they forgot about quality on their computers. I own a total of 7 macs for business. All purchased between 2006 and last month. Four were absolute lemons and had to be replaced and or repaired within a few months of purchase. It's a shame. Used to be a great computer maker now just a fad gadget manufacturer.
I love the apple computers ours are like tanks we have 6-7 ... 2 of them are 6 years old ... (Graphic Design/Pre-press)
http://www.jdwalt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/colorwheel.jpg
PWNED.
Funny thing is, our two oldest G5 towers are unreal. Never had a problem with them at all. Just the new stuff. We've been theorizing for a couple of years that once MacWorld started putting iPhones on every cover, it's like the Mac got no attention at Apple and quality plummeted.
The old saw was that PC's required you to learn way more about your computer than you ever wanted to know. That was the benefit of the Macs. They were easy and intuitive. Apple f'kd up when they held the reigns too tightly and snubbed the gamers. Then they had to play catchup, which they did by appealing to Gen X snobbery - "I have a Macbook so I'm on the cutting edge of hip" kindof shit.
All I want my computer to do is to work well.
The last straw for me was the iPod not having user serviceable batteries.
Fk Apple.
And this:
http://www.jdwalt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/colorwheel.jpg
Gaming on the mac is better than ever, you have old information. Valve has steam, which distributes games on the PC and Mac at the same time, and all Blizzard games are on the mac. My mac pro is two years old and is fantastic, don't know about the cheaper computers.
That's only because Blizzard writes their games in openGL. OpenGL isn't bad but there are better gfx engines.
gaming on the mac is great if you run windows on it, otherwise have fun with 'Worms'
"Better than ever" still equals "for shit" compared to any alternative.
Check your power source. Mine are dependable workhorses. Dell, now there is a POS unit!
It's a shame because they are local.
Mac, PC, Iphone, Blackberry, Nokia it's all the same shitty hardware, it is designed to burn out so that you have to go buy new ones every couple of years. They don't make this stuff to last any longer than that on purpose.
All this deflationary activity is going to prompt some folks to change their ipad for a fresh one
Yeah. Keep thinking that's all Apple produces.
Oh right, Apple also produces a very high rate of Chinese slave labor suicides too.
zing!
Apple has helped the devolution of computing. Closed-source, closed-mind, pink, idiot boxes is all they produce.
Hey, it works.
Better than marketing a box that only a highly trained supergenius can keep operational and secure to "idiots".
I just get so pissed at the fact that they control development for their devices so much. It stiffles innovation IMO, look at Android, Google understands the value of open-development. Plus all Apple does is rename products made 10 years ago with an i in front of it.
Okay, so how about an example of innovation from the Android platform.
And thus, Taco Bell doesn't need to raise the prices on their chalupas.
It's the circle of life.
I think thats more due to the quality of the meat. Hence, taco-bell = toxic-hell. Speaking of meat, a 1lb ny-strip steak is no less than 19.99 at any restaurant I can think of. I'm gonna be really upset when I can't afford meat.
Suicide?...hhhh....anyone run the numbers yet to see when China will run out of Chinese, and can date-point a drop in unemployment in the US?

Tinfoil hat: The late POMO glitch was due to negotiations between what stocks PD would buy. They had AAPL on the prelim list and Brian held the POMO funds because he felt AAPL was getting too hot. To release funds, the PD's had to promise to not pump AAPL to infinity and beyond.
AAPL is not the world's 2nd largest company. 2nd largest publicly traded sure.
You are correct. By market cap it's number two. Well, at least it was about 4 hours ago.
unless you believe the FED market cap and wealth are not the same. A great company yes, but the 2nd most valuable nope.
Both APPL and SPX have finally broken rising wedge from August 30.
'..margin compression..' - Reggie
Move to other buys. AAPL may not have a lot of up left. The holidays could disappoint (or fail to moon-shot, same thing) and AAPL drop 15% in a week.
If/when AAPL loses 15% in a week, it's goodbye SPX and NAZ.
NAZ for sure. If they spin it as a consumer pull-back, they can probably get away with it. The bigger problem would be institutional investors getting nuked. They are in this up to their eyeballs.
Lotta pain out there, if someone rips that Fed bandage off the wound.
EDIT: aaaaand ... they just announced iPad sales for the miss.
Nice while it lasted.
Its all good. Evil Mickey Mouse stock was up.
Gold down $40.00 Turd ?
If I recall Trud expected a pull back ~1380s, keep an eye on the 50dma.
Jessie called for 1376. We are under that now. 1361 as I type.
Could be everything is being sold off to meet some margin calls.
Goldie price down, come to Mama dear!
No. Actually, he said that gold would likely hit 1450 by end of this week (today) due to the overwhelming amount of POMO going on.
Then, once it hit about 1450, profit takers were suppose to show up - duh! Then it would retrace a little, but there was huge support supposedly at 1380-85. After a little profit taking, it would continue it's march toward 1550 by December 10th.
If I remember correctly, that was his prediction. And that was just 2-3 days ago.
Instead, it didn't come close to 1450, and it sliced through 1380 like a warm knife through butter.
Just the facts....sorry.
There is something he did get right, though. He said gold would go up, and after it goes up, it will go down as people take profits.
Tonight I'm predicting that I'll be hungry. After I eat some food, I predict that I'll be full and stop eating. Then, once I stop and sleep, I predict I'll be hungry again tomorrow.
I'm not trying to poke fun at Turd (maybe a little), but rather to the endless number of predictions around there that are consistently wrong. Another well regarded poster said the S&P would touch 1185, and then crash hard. He/she said it so convincingly, yet no one called it out when it was just utterly wrong. In fact, the exact opposite happened.
So...my point: It seems to me that one of the main objectives of ZH is to point out the lunacy of the markets and the outright manipulation that occurs on weekly, daily, hourly, and micro-second intervals. The entire market is bullshit, and Tyler has done a phenomenal job exposing it.
And while everyone praises Tyler's posts, very few of you are truly listening. You continue to make predictions based on bullshit charts that have absolutely no relevance within a corrupt system. Why would someone make a prediction that gold would hit 1450 and then pull back, or that the S&P will hit 1185, then crash hard? Someone else mentions that we should be looking at the 50 dma of this or that. There are an endless number of other erroneous predictions based on nothing but an attempt to chart a broken system. And broadly speaking, everyone has made a prediction at some point that the market would have crashed to zero by now. Why is there such a need to make specific predictions if we all agree that the market is utterly broken?
As smart as most of you are, you just don't get it.
Actually, the one person that does seem to get it is RoboTrader. He continues to point to charts that display the total lunacy of everything. And, of course, he's the one person you guys mock the most.
you got soul RNR
Damn straight.
I've got more soul than 4 brothers in a drop-top deville cruising Santa Monica on a Saturday night with a trunk full of gin and juice.
10/10
Hear hear
I also expect an answer to that!
Gold down 46$ and Silver 1.70$ ? Why???? Will this trend continue in short term?
Most of the POMO went to shorting PM's. Has to be. But what Im really looking at is the bloodbath in bonds, omfg.
I agree. With the POO going to the critical $90/bbl level, I've been expecting a market dip - and any time that happens, a short-term concurrent short-cover dip in PM's is usual. What I didn't expect was the rise in bonds - damn! I looked at the 10yr and the damn thing's up like 8%.
=O
If this trend continues there's going to be some earthquakes in the system...
Every commodity is getting crushed. The boys in the sugar pits will tell gold folks to stop bitching. Sugar is down 10+% today. Imagine the news if gold was down $140 bucks!
Buy now spend later
Along the watchtower ... I got it .
Overnight the Dec10 gold again tested support around 1380 and, again, it held. As of 9:20 EST its rebounded all the way to 1392.50. Silver did the same as it bounced right off of 26.50 once again and has a last of 27.18. As we go along today, all of the overnight fireworks will be nothing but a distant memory provided the Dec10 closes above 1372 and the Dec10 silver closes above 25.90 (recent lows).With $6-8B in POMO hitting the PDs later this morning, I would be absolutely stunned if we happened to fall below those levels. With a little POMO love, we may even put in a "upside reversal day". An upside reversal day would occur if we can close today above yesterday's high of 1417. It would take a lot of work but it's worth pulling for if only because of the damage it would do to the weekend plans of Blythe and her minions.

I hear ya and it would be foolish to simply extrapolate the #s. However, you're going to get your ass kicked if you fight the Fed this month. HellyBenny himself said last week that "rising asset prices generate a 'wealth effect' that inspires economic growth". Dow 14000 sounds crazy but 12500-13000 by 12/15 doesn't. Not when $100fuckingB is coming in. $1800 gold is hard to imagine but my oft-stated target of 1500 before 12/10/10 is a near certainty now. 1600 is realistic along with $35 silver.
Its going to be a wild, wild month.
And what do YOU invest in, Johnny B?
Hey when I see calls day after day..... Gold going to $1,600.00 by the new year.....?
I thought it was guaranteed ? Like housing.
No one forced you to think that way. Obviously it was, and still is, a prognostication by an anonymous poster who decided to put his neck on the line by stating his opinion.
You, on the other hand, are nothing but a shit stirrer. Welcome back Johnny Bravo.
I'm not a shit stirrer.
So gold can't be a bubble now ...oh o.k. . So who is going to win the superbowl ? Is it going to rain 3 weeks from now in Spain ?
Making calls for gold at 1,600.00 by the end of the year using your rerview is stupid. Who the fuck knows whats going to happen in 2 months ?? Thats my point ....
Why is gold down, crymex ? JP Morgan ? I thought everything was ready to run ?
Gold is a bet just like everything else ....
Making calls for gold at 1,600.00 by the end of the year using your rerview is stupid.
Why is it stupid? So you don't know what's going to happen in 2 months. Does this inability to predict outcomes prevent you from making decisions in life? Do you just sit on your ass and wait for some type of absolution? WTF?
No but what happens when people get blowtorched going all in on this type of call using futures ect....?
Turd forgot more about gold/trading than me I understand this but its still a bet. Not a sure thing ...
Yeah - but there are better bets, and worse bets.
Of course short-term plays are the riskiest - but the long-term trend is undeniable. This is why Jim Rogers doesn't day trade.
A real "long-haul" gold bull isn't the slightest bit worried about this retracement. This is normal PM action - go look at the 10 year chart.
It is day 1 of POMO this month, if on November 30th we are still in a position where commodities and securities are getting beat down I would get worried. It's one damn day......DAMN.
" Is it going to rain 3 weeks from now in Spain ?"
Mainly on the plain....

I might stop at the coin shop after I load up more at the gun store, depends on if I have anything left from mass ammo purchases.

I have to defend my Apple. They make a mean Laptop. My MBP kicks Elephant Ass
Aaple doesn't 'make' the MBP, China does. Aapl just gets you to buy it for 50% more than you'd pay for the same components in a case designed by Dell. This is the biggest co ( some days) by market capitalization in America. rotten to the core
You know how they do that?
They put good software on there that helps people get things done.
Aapl make really good advertisings on 'tv' ?
I know its made in China, But its "Designed by Apple in California". Thats what it says on the folder that contains my Apple stickers. . Actually Jony Ive sounds Australian.

TD, Did POMO go off? Market is acting like POMO funds not deployed yet. Or is EU assurance of Irish problem wearing out? All assets (stocks, PMs, UST)are tanking which suggests a forced/coordinated takedown. Bet you a nickel the PDs are buying up all classes right now and JPM is happily covering silver shorts. What a joke.
Wondering if the POMO money is shorting the market -- pretty amazing results for a 7.5B POMO day.
Lot of time left today. You know how this works - they come in on the dips and run it into the close.
I sold the rest of my Apple last week too. My cost basis was under $20. Thanks to all the folks that have run the price up for me this year.
And net result from todays 3 Stooges FED/Treasury antics...no one will EVER re-enter the markets again! R.I.P. US markets, job well done youve successfully destroyed everything, stooges. So now what? Straight into WW3?

Good day to do it..
Let's face reality. This market is set up to crash.
And it is always driven by excess leverage, a change in the rules and a sudden change in where leverage flows. Now from the markets to the FED. More signs...
China tightening, Europe neutral, US QE
VIX swing 22-18-21 in one week
Massive leverage in commodities crushed by margin in silver. Selling of liquid assets to meet margin in commodities... more margin tightening must be coming
Insider selling avalanche
Fed's magic bullet is spent. They have to think of another "tool"
Europe PIIGS default may happen soon. That story line is just like Lehman.
Finally, don't forget Bernanke is a LIFELONG academic 35 years in the ivory tower. He is clueless about what ACTUAL consumer inflation (incl. food energy) is doing to buying power and confidence. He screwed up bigtime after Bear by DRAINING LIQUIDITY through POMO SALES and at the same time cutting rates! There was no need to do QE2 and PD's are SHORTING the trade now IMHO (remember GS recommended to frontrun POMO a couple weeks ago).
I think thats a good conclusion on it all.
Bingo bango bongo
Tin Hat on and engaged: Some rare earth deal went sour and the insiders know it.
Yep, China is barring imports of Bernankium.
Cannot process the Bernankium without some Defaultium. Regarding which there is currently a shortage. However I understand that there may have been a big find of Defaultium deposits in Euro-land, so the market will straighten itself out shortly.
Defaultium reacts with Heidelburgium Pressite to form Marsium, no?
True. But the resulting economy is too fragile to actually use for anything, and there's a lot of smoke and heat produced, and sometimes it blows up completely. Almost nobody goes that route anymore.

Ever since Napoleon Bonaparte came across our German borders in 1799 to force himself upon us crowning himself " Emperor of our holy Roman Empire " after his failed social experiment of that ridiculous French Revolution, ever since then, us Germans rebel against anything that reminds us only remotely of Napoleon.
German People are mostly Royalists and we want our Empire back.
