purchased after December 4, 1995 and held less than 90 days.

SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy, sell or

The following information supplements information in the section entitled

The redemption fee for Small Cap Stock, if applicable, will be deducted
from the amount of your redemption. This fee is paid to the fund rather
than FMR, and it does not apply to shares that were acquired through
reinvestment of distributions. If shares were not all held for the same
length of time, those shares you held longest will be redeemed first for
purposes of determining whether the fee applies.
The following information replaces the similar information found in the
"Transaction Details" section on page 34.
FDC collects the proceeds from the fund's 3% sales charge and may pay a
portion of them to securities dealers who have sold the fund's shares, or
to others, including banks and other financial institutions (qualified
recipients), under special arrangements in connection with FDC's sales
activities. The sales charge paid to qualified recipients is 1.50% of the
fund's offering price.
