John Scully's SPO Advisory Increases Equinix Position

John Scully's investment firm SPO Advisory has filed an amended 13G with the SEC regarding its position in Equinix (EQIX).  Per the filing, SPO now owns 10.4% of EQIX with over 5.1 million shares.

This marks an increase of over 1.18 million shares since the end of 2013.  The filing was made due to activity on March 19th.

Shares of EQIX have seen a ton of hedge fund activity over the past few months.  Some examples include: longtime owner Coatue Management sold its Equinix position, but then Barry Rosenstein's JANA Partners outlined their thesis on EQIX in their Q4 letter.
