  • Boone Pickens' Holdings

    Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:

    An article in the Wall Street Journal last month mentioned that Boone Pickens' hedge funds had lost nearly $1 billion for the year through August 31st.  One fund was down nearly 30% through 8/31 and another smaller commodity-focused fund was down 84%.  The Boone Pickens funds are energy specific, and the S&P 500 Energy sector is down another 34% since the end of August. 

    While the BP Capital holdings have not been released yet for the end of the third quarter, the holdings as they stood at the end of the second quarter indicate that performance has most likely gotten much worse since the end of August unless serious hedging strategies were put in place.

  • T. Boone Pickens' Stocks Struggle

    Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:

    Judging by the performance of T. Boone Pickens' stock holdings at the end of the second quarter, it hasn't been a good couple of months.  While there's no telling yet what Pickens has done in his BP Capital fund this quarter, if he has simply done nothing, the fund's equity holdings would be down 32.26% since the end of June.  That's what happens when you run an energy fund and oil loses a third of its value in two months. 

    As shown, SD is down the most at 62%, followed by BZP, FWLT and KBR (all down more than 50% in the second half of the year).  Only one of BP Capital's holdings at the end of the second quarter is up this quarter, and it was the fund's smallest position (CLNE).  As we wrote earlier, who knows what Pickens has done with his holdings this quarter, but it's hard to imagine that he's not suffering some big losses.
