  Abigail Johnson pares Fidelity stake   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Johnson has been Fidelity's largest shareholder, with 24.5 percent of its voting stock, more than double the 12 percent holding of her father, Edward C. Johnson III, the chairman and chief executive of the family-controlled firm.
Johnson, the trusts' trustee -- her father, who at 75 years old shows no signs of slowing down -- has the power to vote the shares, giving him even greater sway in the organization.
Johnson's appearance in a 1995 SEC filing as primary shareholder has long served as evidence that she was being groomed to run the firm.

 Whom Is Fidelity's CEO Fighting For?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Johnson and others had objected vociferously to the rule, despite its endorsement by the Mutual Fund Director's Forum, a national organization of independent fund directors.
Johnson should tell shareholders what percent of his wealth is invested in Fidelity funds, and--crucially--what percent is in other investments, including his ownership interest in the advisory firm.
Johnson attempts to do this by arguing that the rule would deprive the board of the expertise of a seasoned industry executive.

 Fidelity Chief: Don't Split Top Jobs - CFO.com
Edward C. Johnson III, the chief executive of Fidelity Investments and the chairman of its 280 funds, would rather fight than split.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal, Johnson stated his opposition to a proposal by the Securities and Exchange Commission that the chairman of the fund and 75 percent of its board would have to be outsiders who didn't work for the fund itself.
On the contrary, wrote Johnson in the Journal, "mandating an independent chairperson is akin to requiring that every ship have two captains." Extending the naval metaphor, he said that turbulent times required an experienced captain, "and if he owned the ship, so much the better."

 Reuters: Mutual Fund Chairmen Oppose Proxy Disclosure
Fidelity Investments Chairman Edward Johnson III and Vanguard Group Chairman John Brennan said in a jointly written opinion piece in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal that a Securities and Exchange Commission proposal to require mutual funds to disclose how they vote corporate proxies would "politicize" the process.
In an interview with Reuters Tuesday, Johnson said special interest groups, not individual shareholders, have been behind the disclosure push.
Johnson said Fidelity's opposition to the disclosure proposal is unrelated to the 401(k) retirement plan relationships it has with corporations.

Edward C. Johnson III's complaint to the Wall Street Journal about proposed changes to the arcane world of mutual fund board governance is a relief to me. I now see the priorities he sets at Fidelity.
Anyway, I wrote various departments, made calls, and finally wrote Abigail Johnson herself asking for their monthly performance fee numbers needed to check what I feared, that Fidelity's formulas harm certain groups of shareholders.
But all my calls and letters have met with the same response (only their PR people get back to me), "our performance number is reported in the semi-annual report." That's playing dumb.

 More Bullshit - GTAPortable Forums
Apparently Jack Thompson is now attempting to influence Edward Johnson, chairman of Fidelity Investment (which, FYI, owns more than 20% of Take-Two) - that is, if this letter he supposedly sent Johnson is for real.
Johnson, I know some facts about Take-Two that your company apparently does not know.
The latest SEC investigation of Take-Two, announced Monday, comes as no surprise to me. It may come as a surprise to you and your analysts, however, that there may be some very significant problems with certain information in Take-Two's 10-K filed with the SEC months ago.

All these plays are stated on the title pages to have been written by William Shakespeare.
If the author desired publicity and wished the public to know that those plays had been written by Will Shakspere--why divide the name by a hyphen, thus showing that the author was the man who shakes the spear?
