Gannett (GCI)

For subscribers who haven't read Bill's latest article on GCI, I recommend you do - and at least twice:

http://www.marketthoughts.com/members/zs20060511.html

What I haven't done much research on at this point is this: Where is future growth going to come from? Through acqusitions? Can they continue to achieve organic growth more than GDP + inflation? Is this a potential double merely because of current valuations or can this be a potential triple or quadruple based on higher-than-expected 10% to 12% growth to the bottom line in the next few years?

Bill: Got any answers? Very Happy

I will also look into this stock more this weekend.

Thanks,

Henry

Question: immediacy trumps depth?

Internet NOT killing newspapers. On the contrary:

The Wall Street Journal is opening its front page to advertisers. Journal executives refer to the ad space -- a lower corner -- as the "jewel box." Selling what one ad executive called "beachfront real estate" will give the newspaper millions more dollars in annual revenue at a time when newspapers are losing readers and advertisers to online competitors. But the move could backfire if readers feel that ads intrude on journalism's sacred ground, said David Sklaver of media agency KSL Media. "Sometimes putting ads where readers don't want them is, in a way, like being spammed," he said. (The New York Times, free registration required)

Consider the source, Donald Trump with hair. I'm inclined to heavily discount most of most of what this guy says. He's an embarrassment on the court, he clearly had no clue about naked shorting yet had alot to say about it and the tone of this seems to be he's just outright scared.

The newspapers have em and for now are gonna keep em.

GCI got downgraded by MS today and the stock is holding up well. I can't help but seem to think that we are getting close to a buying point here.

Newspapers are NOT dinosaurs. As long a people shop locally and buy different thins in different quantities advertising will be focused locally. And, so far, there's nothing close to a substitute for paper.
