In late-day recovery, GCI breaks losing streak

(Updated.) Gannett's stock closed at $6.32 a share this afternoon, up nearly 4%, after trading as low as $5.70 earlier in the day.

GCI has lost 40% of its value in the past 30 days alone vs. a smaller loss -- 16% -- for the widely-watched S&P-500 index, Google Finance says.

  1. GCI's business plan is broken, the stock is tanking, the rank and file are restive, and you are encumbered by $7 billion in debts which bankers fret can't be repaid with your declining revenues. You are Dubow: what do you do?
    (Quit is a given. Looking for more concrete ideas).

  2. Do what the WSJ is doing and raise ad rates. Yes raise rates in a recession and give everyone a signal we are here to stay. Sell off the TV properties to pay off the debt.

  3. GCI broke nothing except its own back. Broad market up today on Obama related news...nothing to see.
