Good fund info , the sixth is ...Senor F. Markkula S Jobs' initial corporate mentor , original AAPL investor , former AAPL director , a former Intel Manager and a wealthy "hands on" investor . Link may be obsolete. It told of Jobs' meeting with Mr Markkula during G Amelio's removal to obtain his (Markkula's) BOD resignation: search.nytimes.com My guess is Johnson (Family/Fidelity Brokerage/Fund etc) is AAPL's prime mover and their direction for AAPL for now is up . Johnson et al was the largest owner of IBM stock early in its recovery . My bottom fishing lesson today brought back memories . Please continue to share your information . Jim K. EDIT - PS: The fund holdings look light . F Markkula reports under Form 4/144

"who is the sixth?" Here is what I have down in my collection of AAPL stats: Mellon Bank 8.705 mil shares as of 12/31/98 Barclays 8.036 mil shares as of 02/12/99 Putnam 7.272 mil shares as of 03/09/99 P. Alawaleed 6.234 mil shares as of 04/01/97 (out of date) Fidelity 5.447 mil shares as of 12/31/98 AMEX 2.017 mil shares as of 01/31/97 (out of date) Soros approx 1.500 mil shares as of 12/31/98 Microsoft's $150 mil investment in Apple is currently in the form of preferred shares but will be convertible into about 9.1 million regular shares next year. So looks like MSFT is currently the largest investor in AAPL. I think I'm going to barf....hehe. I think Markkula sold most of his direct and indirect holding between 1996-97. Eric
