FDSVX the next FCNTX?

Heathbob
edited February 2012 in Fund Discussions
Maybe crazy, but their portfolios are somewhat similar, and I know that Weiner has repeatedly stated that Danoff is his closest mentor. It is repeadtly stated that FDSVX will gravitate farther down the market cap ladder, but it is not that dramatic and I know that FCNTX started off farther down the market cap ladder anyway. Thoughts?

    Of course it's the next Contrafund, Fidelity said so itself:-).

    It launched the fund as Contra II (then with the ticker FCONX), and named Jason Weiner as its manager. What goes around comes around.

    Fidelity moved Weiner off the fund in February 2000, but didn't rebrand the fund until 2002-2003.
