NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson's firm took a stake in Citigroup <C.N>, while cutting holdings in Bank of America <BAC.N> and its interest in Goldman Sachs <GS.N>, according to a regulatory filing on Friday.
Paulson, whose firm Paulson & Co bet against financial companies and the housing market before the credit crisis, also dissolved his stakes in Petro-Canada, Humana Inc <HUM.N>, State Street Corp <STT.N> and AT&T Inc <T.N>, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission.
Besides Bank of America, Paulson cut his stake in JPMorgan Chase & Co <JPM.N> by 5 million shares.
Investors scrutinize Paulson & Co's holdings since the firm reaped big gains by betting that the U.S. mortgage market would collapse in 2007. It also bet that financial services companies would tumble last year.
