Hedge Fund Bearish on This Hot Stock

We’re hearing that hedge funds are rather bearish on a hot stock. Which name may be heading for trouble?

Believe it or not, Anthony Scaramucci of Skybridge says it's Walmart !

Scaramucci -- affectionately nicknamed ‘The Hedge’ for obvious reasons – tells us he’s bearish, very bearish, on this name.

"The smartest hedge funds look for the residual reversal," he says. And he's seeing it in the nation's largest retailer.

(In case you're not familiar with the term residual reversal - it's an investment theory which suggests what’s moving up will move down if expectations are not met.)

“I think that's going to be the case in the he second half of the year in Walmart,” he says.

"Most of Walmart's production is in China and as the yuan strengthens it will crimp their operating margins," he says.

"Because of yuan appreciation I think their numbers come in lighter than expected," he says. "We think there will be a 10-15% correction in the name."

Neither Steve Grasso nor Patty Edwards are buying it. "Scaramucci has a good point if the contracts were denominated in yuan but the fact of the matter is, Walmart denominates their contracts in dollars," counters Edwards.
