AOL Dropped From Fidelity Magellan's Top-10 Holdings; AT&T, Lucent Added
By Katherine Burton


AOL Falls From Top-10 Magellan Holding; AT&T Added (Update1)
(Updates to add performance of the Magellan fund.)

New York, July 15 (Bloomberg) -- America Online Inc. dropped
from the top-10 holdings of some Fidelity Investments equity
funds, including its flagship Magellan Fund, in the second
quarter, while AT&T Corp. and Lucent Technologies Inc. appeared
among the top investments.

Fidelity discloses only its funds' top-10 holdings without
saying whether changes are due to buying and selling by its fund
managers or changes in the prices of shares.
''I think it is safe to assume that Fidelity was selling
AOL, given that it sold $3.8 billion worth, or about 43 percent
of its holdings in the company during the first quarter,'' said
Eric Kobren, executive editor of Fidelity Insight, an independent
newsletter that tracks the world's biggest fund company.

Likewise, ''when you see so many funds with Lucent and AT&T
in the top 10, you assume they've pushed into the
telecommunications area,'' Kobren said.

AOL shares dropped 25 percent in the second quarter, which
also could have caused the company to fall out of the top
holdings of the $99 billion Magellan Fund, along with the
Aggressive Growth, Blue Chip Growth, Capital Appreciation,
Contrafund, Contra II and Fidelity Fifty funds.

Lucent climbed 25 percent and AT&T rose 5.3 percent in the
quarter. Aside from being a top-10 holding of manager Robert
Stansky in his Magellan Fund, Lucent showed up in the biggest
holdings of Aggressive Growth, Fidelity Fifty and Large Cap
Stock, among others, while AT&T is now in the top 10 of Fidelity
Fifty, New Millennium, Puritan and Growth & Income.

Magellan Fund, which also saw Time Warner Inc. shares fall
out of the top 10 in the second quarter, has climbed 15.6 percent
this year through yesterday, about 1 percentage point ahead of
the benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

Fidelity Fifty, which went heavily into Internet stocks in
January after manager John Muresianu took over, saw many of its
web holdings, including AOL, Amazon.Com Inc., At Home Corp., and
eBay Inc. drop out of the top-10 list. AT&T, Philip Morris Cos.,
Cisco Systems Inc., Lucent, General Electric Co. and Waste
Management Inc. took their place. The fund climbed 28.9 percent
so far this year, with almost all that gain in the first quarter.
