In a 13G filing on Ryerson Inc. (RYI), Dan Loeb's Third Point LLC disclosed a 7.5% stake (1.975 million shares) in the company. The firm showed a 500,000 share stake for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Earlier in the week, another hedge fund, Owl Creek, disclosed a 5.3% stake in RYI and said it would support Harbinger's (another activist investor) slate of seven independent directors for nomination to the board.

The 13G indicates a "passive" stake in RYI, but Loeb is best known as a activist investor.
