Early Withdrawal Penalty
The dollar amount of interest or principal
forfeited because of early withdrawal of a fixed-term investment. This is not to be confused with the 10%
excise tax applicable to certain retirement distributions prior to reaching age 59 1/2.
Earnings Per Share (TTM)
This is the trailing 12-month total (TTM) earnings
divided by the average diluted shares outstanding for the trailing 12 months.
Effective Date
The date an annuity exchange order was executed.
Effective Yield
In the context of a secondary bond trade, the effective yield is inclusive of the quoted price plus the total cost (or markup) of the transaction.
Example: A bond may be quoted with an Ask Price of 101.00 and a corresponding Ask Yield of 5.60%. If the concession per bond were $2 per bond, the total concession for 10 bonds would be 10 X $2 = $20. Expressed at a per bond level, the price will rise to 101.20 per bond, and the corresponding yield for that price would be known as the Effective Yield. The Effective Yield will be lower than the originally quoted, pre-concession, yield although how much lower depends on factors such as the coupon and the time remaining until maturity of the bond in question.
83(b) Election
An IRS tax code stipulating that a recipient of a Restricted Stock Award may elect, within 30 days of the award grant, to include in his/her gross income the fair market value of the shares on the date of the award grant. Choosing not to make this election subjects the shares to being reported as income when they vest.
Electronic Communications Network (ECN) Extended Hours Orders
An ECN is essentially an electronic order matching
system in which investors and other market participants may participate.
The ECN in which Fidelity participates may be linked to other ECNs which will increase the potential for an order to be matched. You can place orders through the ECN using the Extended Hours trading sessions, the Premarket and the After Hours session.
ECN orders for the Premarket session can be placed from 7:30 to 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time. ECN orders can only be executed after 8 a.m. Eastern Time. Orders entered between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time are queued at Fidelity based on the time received. At 8:00 a.m., Fidelity transmits orders to the ECN and the transmitted orders are queued at REDIBook according to the time received and the specified limit price.
After 8 a.m. Eastern Time, Fidelity continues to send Premarket trade orders to the ECN in the order in which Fidelity receives them until 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time, unless trading is halted prior to 9:15 a.m.
Orders in the After Hours session can be placed from 4 to 8 p.m. Eastern Time. ECN orders can only be executed after 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Orders entered between 4:00 and 4:05 p.m. Eastern Time are queued at Fidelity based on the time received. Between 4:05 and 4:30 p.m., Fidelity transmits orders to the ECN and the transmitted orders are queued at REDIBook according to the time received and the specified price.
After 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, Fidelity continues to send After Hours trade orders to the ECN in the order in which Fidelity receives them until 8 p.m. Eastern Time, unless trading is halted prior to 8 p.m.
You must have a Fidelity Brokerage® account to place an order during the Premarket or After Hours session.
Limit orders to buy and sell stocks are matched electronically, if the potential for a matched transaction exists. The ECN will operate during regular trading hours and during the Premarket and After Hours sessions. However, you can only enter orders through Fidelity for execution via the ECN during Extended Hours trading sessions.
In the Extended Hours Trading sessions, you can trade all NASDAQ (National Market and SmallCap) and listed securities.
If a stock that normally trades on the ECN closes on a trading halt in its primary market, or trading is later halted by its primary exchange or a regulatory authority, trading of that stock will also be suspended on the ECN.
Extended Hours trading will be available through the ECN via Fidelity's Web site. It will not be available through Fidelity's automated telephone service, other online services, or through Fidelity representatives. Premarket and After Hours quotes obtained from Fidelity.com will only reflect the prices available in REDIBook. Commissions will be the usual Web-based commissions.
Once you place a limit order into the ECN, the order will be matched on a first come, first served basis, at the price you specify.

Eligible for Credit Adjustment
Fidelity provides an annual credit adjustment on substitute payments received when a security has been loaned from a margin account with a margin debit balance over record date. The credit adjustment is applied at a rate of 30.77%, which assumes a substitute payment is taxed at the highest federal ordinary income tax rate of 35% and that a qualified dividend would be taxable at the highest federal capital gains tax rate of 15%. Since the credit adjustment itself is taxable, it contains an internal adjustment on itself. Note that all substitute payments received are not eligible for credit adjustments and certain substitute payments that currently qualify for a credit adjustment could be disqualified after the annual dividend reclassification process takes place in January 2005.

Estimated Annual Income (EAI)
An estimate of annual income from a specific security position over the next rolling 12 months. EAI for U.S. government, corporate, and municipal bonds, and Certificates of Deposit (CDs) is calculated by multiplying the coupon rate by the face value of the security. EAI for common stocks (including ADRs and REITs) and mutual funds is calculated using an Indicated Annual Dividend (IAD). See calculation examples below:
For Fixed Rate Bonds and CDs: EAI = Face Value x Coupon Rate
Example: You own a bond with $1,000 Face Value and a 5% Coupon
EAI = $1,000 x .05 = $50.00
For Common Stocks, ADR's, REIT's and Mutual Funds: EAI = # of Shares x IAD
Example: You own 100 shares of ABC Stock, ABC Stock IAD is .80
EAI = 100 x .80 = $80.00
EAI is calculated for the following securities when available: fixed rate bonds (including treasury, agency, GSE, corporate, and municipal bonds), CDs, common stocks, ADRs, REITs, and mutual funds.

Extended Hours Trading
Fidelity's Extended Hours trading
sessions allow brokerage account customers to enter limit
orders to buy or sell stock after standard
market hours through the Electronic Communications Network
(ECN) in which Fidelity participates. An ECN is essentially an
electronic order matching system in which investors and other
market participants may participate.
The ECN in which Fidelity participates may be linked to other ECNs or dealers which will increase the potential for an order to be matched. You can place orders through the ECN using the Extended Hours Trading sessions, the Premarket and the After Hours session.
ECN orders for the Premarket session can be placed and executed from 7:00 a.m. to 9:28 a.m. Eastern Time.
Orders in the After Hours session can be placed and executed from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
You must have a Fidelity Brokerage® account to place an order during the Premarket or After Hours session.
Limit orders to buy and sell stocks are matched electronically, if the potential for a matched transaction exists. The ECN will operate during regular trading hours and during the Premarket and After Hours sessions. However, you can only enter orders through Fidelity for execution via the ECN during Extended Hours trading sessions.
In the Extended Hours Trading sessions, you can trade all NASDAQ (National Market and SmallCap) and listed securities.
If a stock that normally trades on the ECN closes on a trading halt in its primary market, or trading is later halted by its primary exchange or a regulatory authority, trading of that stock will also be suspended on the ECN.
Extended Hours trading is currently available through the ECN via Fidelity's Web site and FidelityAnywhere.
Once you place a limit order into the ECN, the order will be matched on a first come, first served basis, at the price you specify.
