John Paulson's hedge fund firm Paulson & Co has filed an amended 13D with the SEC regarding Cheniere Energy (LNG). Due to portfolio activity on November 22nd through 24th, Paulson has disclosed a 7.3% ownership stake in LNG with 4,209,985 shares. This is a reduction in their stake as they owned 7,461,191 shares back on September 30th at the end of the third quarter.

In the past two months, Paulson has sold 43.5% of its position. The hedge fund firm sold the bulk of the shares at prices of $6.4809 and $6.3208 per share. So while the famed manager has axed his position almost in half, he does still own shares.

(Cheniere Partners). It also owns and operates the Creole Trail Pipeline, which interconnects the Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal with downstream markets."
