Documents: lots of new stock trading by top brass

There were a flurry of filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission late this afternoon; I'm now pulling together all the information for an upcoming post.

These follow that big trade by CEO Gracia Martore on Tuesday and another one, which I haven't reported yet, by U.S. newspapers division President Bob Dickey on Wednesday.

  1. This should pay for a few trips to Pebble BeacH. On Dickey's Dime.

    1. $875,000 less taxes! Not bad even for a furlough year.

  2. Blame Obama’s fast approaching PPACA and never-ending quest to restore twelve year-old tax rates on just the top upper income brackets for financial moves like Jim highlights; moves people would be foolish not to consider.

    Anyone - regardless of their income level, who thinks this won’t impact them is kidding themselves as plenty of advertisers who support Gannett will respond in like manner to those higher “costs” by cutting theirs, including advertising expenditures.

  3. Maybe they know the stock price is going to take a nosedive soon.

    2. Pretty simple answer why:

      It's about coming tax increases, ObamaCare's new taxes, costs and how businesses and consumers will react.

Jim says: "Proceed with caution; this is a free-for-all comment zone. I try to correct or clarify incorrect information. But I can't catch everything. 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."
