Stock | Post-Morgan, GCI keeps moving higher

[Arrow shows Thursday, when GCI traded as low as $14.12; live chart]

Adding momentum to yesterday's big jump, Gannett shares recently traded for $16.81 a share after running as high as $17.13 today, as investors continue to cheer investment bank J.P. Morgan Chase's huge bet on the nation's No. 1 newspaper publisher.

Yesterday, GCI closed 3.4% higher after Morgan disclosed in a regulatory filing that it had boosted its stake to 24 million shares -- a block worth $398.2 million, based on yesterday's closing price.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
