Effective January 2, 1998, the following information replaces the
similar information found in "Investment Principles and Risks" on page
15:
SMALL CAP SELECTOR seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily
in equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations.
FMR normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in these
securities. The fund has the flexibility, however, to invest the
balance in other market capitalizations and security types.
Small market capitalization companies are those whose market
capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in
the Russell 2000 at the time of the fund's investment. Companies whose
capitalization no longer meets this definition after purchase continue
to be considered small-capitalized for purposes of the 65% policy. As
of October 31, 1997, the Russell 2000 included companies with
capitalizations between $22.9 million and $2.5 billion.
The following information supplements the "Management Fee" section
beginning on page 20:
The total management fee rate for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997
was 0.55% for Small Cap Selector, 0.70% for Mid-Cap Stock and 0.53%
for Large Cap Stock. 
The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Small Cap Selector has authorized an
increase in the redemption fee (payable to the fund) from 0.75% to
1.50% of the amount redeemed on shares of Small Cap Selector redeemed
on or after November 15, 1997 and held less than 90 days.
The following information replaces the similar information found in
"Other Expenses" on page 21:
Mid-Cap Stock and Large Cap Stock have each adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND
SERVICE PLAN. Each plan recognizes that FMR may use its management fee
revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other
source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with the
distribution of fund shares. FMR directly, or through FDC, may make
payments to third parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that
engage in the sale of, or provide shareholder support services for the
fund's shares. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has
authorized such payments.
The following information replaces the similar information found in
the chart on page 27:
If you sell shares of Small Cap Selector before November 15, 1997
after holding them less than 90 days, the fund will deduct a
redemption fee equal to 0.75% of the value of those shares.
If you sell shares of Small Cap Selector on or after November 15, 1997
after holding them less than 90 days, the fund will deduct a
redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the value of those shares.
The following information supplements the information found in
"Shareholder and Account Policies" on page 33:
A REDEMPTION FEE if applicable, of 0.75% for shares redeemed before
November 15, 1997 and held less than 90 days or 1.50% for shares
redeemed on or after November 15, 1997 and held less than 90 days for
Small Cap Selector, 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 you bought shares on different days the shares you
held longest will be redeemed first for purposes of determining
whether the fee applies.
