The following is a statement from Peter Lynch: "Today I settled an
administrative proceeding with the SEC. In asking the Fidelity equity
trading desk for occasional help locating tickets, I never intended to
do anything inappropriate, and I regret having made those requests. I
want the public to know that I have never worked on the trading desk,
and, since retiring from investment management at Fidelity over 17
years ago, I have not placed any trades on behalf of Fidelity with any
brokerage firm. As many people know, over the past 17 years, I have
spent most of my time on community service."
