DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The NASDAQ, S&P 500(Registered trademark) and Dow Jones Industrial
Average all closed 1999 at record highs. Investors should note,
however, that much of the year's returns were driven by a single
sector: technology. Most other stocks were flat or down in 1999.
Likewise, bond investors had little cause to celebrate at year's end.
Steadily rising interest rates left the benchmark 30-year Treasury at
its highest yield level in two years.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY CONTRAFUND 25.03% 236.23% 653.32%
FIDELITY CONTRAFUND (INCL. 21.28% 226.14% 630.72%
3.00% SALES CHARGE)
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 21.04% 251.12% 432.89%
Growth Funds Average 29.27% 214.12% 380.42%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10
years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the
Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a market capitalization-weighted index
of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer
group of 1,149 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as
by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY CONTRAFUND 25.03% 27.45% 22.38%

S&P 500 21.04% 28.56% 18.21%
Growth Funds Average 29.27% 25.04% 16.52%
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Contrafund on December 31, 1989, and the current
3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by December 31, 1999,
the value of the investment would have grown to $73,072 - a 630.72%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends
and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have
grown to $53,289 - a 432.89% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Despite the fifth consecutive year
of returns exceeding 20% for the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index, this
performance was not necessarily an
entirely accurate representation of
the overall health of the U.S. equity
markets. For example, during the
12-month period ending December
31, 1999, the S&P 500 - a
market-capitalization-weighted
index of 500 widely held U.S. stocks
- - returned 21.04%. Interestingly,
however, the top 50 stocks in the
S&P 500 - the so-called "Nifty 50"
- - accounted for 115% of its total
return. Meanwhile, the remaining
450 stocks had a cumulative return
of -3.13%. Overall, more stocks fell
than rose in 1999. Additionally, just
one sector - technology - was
responsible for approximately 70%
of the S&P's return. This incredibly
narrow market breadth was further
illustrated by the technology-laden
NASDAQ Index. Its 12-month return
of 86.12% was the all-time highest
annual return for any major U.S. stock
index. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average - an index of 30 blue-chip
stocks - posted a 27.13% return
during the period. Also dominating
headlines in 1999 was the Federal
Reserve Board's persistent inflation
worries, and its attempts to keep the
same in check by increasing key
short-term interest rates by 0.25
percentage points on three occasions.

An interview with Will Danoff, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Contrafund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, WILL?
A. For the 12 months that ended December 31, 1999, the fund returned
25.03%. This topped the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which returned
21.04% during the same period, but trailed the growth funds average,
which returned 29.27% according to Lipper Inc.
Q. WHY DO YOU THINK THE FUND BEAT ITS INDEX BUT TRAILED ITS PEERS?
A. When investors look back on 1999, they will see that technology and
telecommunications stocks dominated the market. Technology stocks rose
more than 70% on average, and produced around 70% of the S&P 500's
return for the year. Investors also will see that most stocks -
particularly those in the finance and health care groups - had a
difficult time. In fact, 51% of the stocks in the S&P 500 actually
declined in 1999. This backdrop played a considerable role in
determining Contrafund's performance relative to both the index and
its peers. Despite having a below-average weighting in tech stocks
during the period, the fund beat the index due to the strong
performance of its media-related holdings, as well as its de-emphasis
on finance and health stocks. In terms of the peer group, many of
Contrafund's competitors owned more technology, and therefore achieved
higher returns. My feeling, though, is that these returns came with a
higher degree of risk.
Q. WHAT COURSE DID THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR FOLLOW DURING THE PERIOD, AND
HOW DID YOU PLAY YOUR CARDS?
A. The sector exploded during the second half of the year, as global
Internet traffic and wireless phone usage surged, and the global
economy strengthened. Technology earnings growth accelerated to 28% in
1999, vastly better than the rest of the market's 7% growth rate. I
chose to emphasize companies with real earnings and cash flow, and
steered clear of start-ups and concept companies. For example, I added
to the fund's holdings in global networking and software leaders such
as Cisco Systems and Microsoft, both of which were very profitable and
continued to grow by more than 30% annually in 1999. Both companies
were top-10 positions at the end of the period. Despite having less
exposure to technology than both the index and its peers, I did raise
the fund's weighting from 17% to 24% during the second half of the
year. My decision to do so was prompted by the greater-than-expected
consumer and corporate demand for Internet and wireless services.
Q. WHAT FACTORS HELPED THE FUND'S MEDIA-RELATED INVESTMENTS PERFORM
WELL?
A. The Internet phenomenon and the strong economy helped here as well.
As the Web grows and enables faster and more convenient distribution
of content, traditional media companies will most likely gain another
avenue through which to sell their programming. As a result, their
content should become more valuable in the future. In addition, media
companies benefited from the strong economy in that overall U.S.
advertising was up considerably. The fund held significant investments
in leading media companies such as Time Warner, CBS and Viacom, all of
which gained market share in their core businesses and performed well.
The beauty of the media business is that all of the leading companies
tend to generate large amounts of free cash flow, which can then be
used to reduce debt or buy back stock, even when the economy slows. At
the close of the period, the fund's media holdings represented more
than 15% of the portfolio.
Q. THE FUND'S TELECOMMUNICATIONS STOCKS ALSO PERFORMED WELL. WHAT
FACTORS HELPED THIS GROUP?
A. Telecommunications stocks benefited from the continued growth in
wireless usage, the huge increase in data traffic - mostly
Internet-related - and from opportunities created by the deregulation
of the industry, primarily in the U.S. and Europe. Worldwide wireless
subscribers grew 50% in 1999, and growth rates should remain very
strong going forward. The fund's considerable investments in Vodafone
AirTouch - the largest wireless service provider in the world - and
Sprint PCS and Nextel, both new cellular carriers in the U.S., helped
performance in 1999. Data traffic, meanwhile, accounted for 50% of all
global telecommunications traffic, and is doubling every year. This
massive increase forced service providers to expand capacity
meaningfully, and thus helped telecommunications infrastructure
companies such as Nokia, Motorola, Tellabs and Ericsson, all of which
the fund held during the period. Finally, deregulation has spawned
many new, rapid-growth companies in the past few years, and the fund's
stakes in Nextlink, McLeod USA and Energis helped performance.
Q. DID YOU FOLLOW ANY "OUT OF FAVOR" THEMES DURING THE PERIOD?
A. I increased the fund's Japanese holdings. Entering 1999, Japan had
endured a very challenging economic environment. The Nikkei 225 Index
peaked at 38,900 in December 1989, and was below 15,000 at the
beginning of the period as an ongoing recession crushed corporate
profits throughout the 1990s. But by last summer, Japanese companies
were trading at half the cash-flow valuations of their U.S.
counterparts, Japan's central bank had shifted toward easier monetary
policies and Japanese firms were cutting costs aggressively and taking
other shareholder-friendly actions. As a result, earnings rebounded
throughout 1999 and share prices followed. The fund's positions in
Japanese brokers and selected technology companies performed well as a
result.
Q. WHERE DID THE FUND'S DISAPPOINTMENTS LIE?
A. The global economy, and particularly the U.S. economy, was much
stronger than expected in 1999. I had anticipated faster economic
growth, and should have positioned the fund more aggressively with a
higher weighting in technology and even lower weightings in defensive
areas such as drug, grocery-store and financial stocks. The fund's
positions in such steady "defensive" growers as CVS, Safeway and
Associates First Capital detracted from performance as the market paid
virtually any price for accelerating earnings growth, and discarded
these steady growers regardless of their low share prices.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm concerned about the recent interest-rate tightenings by the
U.S. Federal Reserve. With unemployment levels at 30-year lows, the
risk of accelerating wage inflation is rising. Higher interest rates
should slow the economy and could squeeze corporate profit growth,
particularly in the second half of 2000. I expect earnings growth to
slow in 2000, and am worried that profits could be even lower. With
this in mind, the fund is positioned more cautiously on economically
sensitive sectors than it was a year ago. The fund remains
underweighted in technology relative to the S&P 500, and I believe
I'll find better buying opportunities in the future.

WILL DANOFF ON TECHNOLOGY
STOCK PRICES:
"In many ways, 1999's market was
the market according to the new
GAAP - growth at any price. This
was especially true in the technology
sector, where small but quickly
growing companies went public
almost daily and emerged as market
leaders despite being
unprofitable.
"Technology earnings growth soared
due the strong economy and an
Internet-fueled surge in information
technology spending. The market
has extrapolated this trend into the
future, and is now paying 75 times
earnings for the average tech stock, up
from 26 times just three years ago.
This tripling of technology stock
multiples is just one indication of the
frenzy currently surrounding the
sector.
"The reason Contrafund was
underweighted in technology was
that I couldn't justify paying such
high prices given the uncertainty of
future profitability for many of these
companies. I did not think the
reward was equally balanced with
the risk. Instead, owning more
traditional tech stocks allowed the
fund to participate in the Internet
trend by owning companies that
were generating actual earnings.
"As we enter 2000, I am concerned
about the technology sector because
valuations are incredibly expensive
and I think the economy will slow.
At the same time, the long-term
fundamentals of some companies
positioned to benefit from the
Internet and wireless tidal waves
have never been better. I'll continue
to work my hardest to find the right
names, but at the right prices."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended December 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Contrafund (the fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is authorized
to issue an unlimited number of shares. Effective the close of
business on April 3, 1998, the fund was closed to new accounts. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases
debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund
also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for
income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund(the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A
issues) amounted to $0 or 0% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $68,469,908,000 and $68,476,782,000, respectively, of which
U.S. government and government agency obligations aggregated
$1,061,432,000 and $749,077,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from
.2167% to .5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate
is .30%. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual
rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the
above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee.
The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum
of (plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the
performance period) based on the fund's investment performance as
compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of
.45% of average net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC),
an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received
sales charges of $4,186,000 on sales of shares of the fund of which
$4,162,000 was retained.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annual rate of .19% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,399,000 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the
5. SECURITY LENDING - CONTINUED
collateral. At period end, the value of the securities loaned amounted
to $261,264,000. The fund received cash collateral of $253,192,000
which was invested in cash equivalents.
6. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or
emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has
established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which
loans were outstanding amounted to $7,374,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.11%.Interest expense includes $5,000 paid under
the bank borrowing program.
7. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $13,188,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced
by $13,000 and $1,561,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
8. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of and Shareholders of Fidelity Contrafund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Contrafund at December 31, 1999, and the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights
for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements
and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Contrafund's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of
these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States, which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the

includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December
31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
