What have the funds been doing during this quarter’s Apple sell-off? We won’t find out until February 15, 2019, 45 days after the quarter’s end.

My take: These fund managers risk becoming a contrary indicator for Apple. More to come when I dig into the positions of individual funds.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story had a math error. 1,481 is the correct total for funds that reduced or closed their Apple position in Q3.
