"Normally investing at least 80% of assets in low-priced stocks (those priced at or below $35 per share), which can lead to investments in small and medium-sized companies. Potentially investing in stocks not considered low-priced. Investing in domestic and foreign issuers. Investing in either 'growth' or 'value' stocks or both."
Above is the direct quote from the fidelity web-site about the strategy of the Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund (Symbol- FLPSX). No textbook will ever categorize small and medium-sized businesses by their stock prices. Microsoft is very large company and today its price is in mid 20s.
Is the name of this fund misleading? I bet that there are many investors who believe they are investing in penny stocks by investing in Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund, which is something the fund does not do.

We invest in Fidelity's Low Price Stock fund through my wife's 401K. So far, the returns have been stellar.

BTW, nice site. I stumbled across it somehow. Anyway, I like it and I put a link to it from my blog. Perhaps you could make it easier for people to contact you?
