You can certainly buy shares through the employee stock purchase plan, but not one (as far as I know) of the 401k funds owns McClatchy stock. Even if they did it would be blended with lot of other stocks not all McClatchy. So your story of knowing some sac bee employees doesn't hold water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-84203320927973979892009-05-21T06:28:59.238-07:002009-05-21T06:28:59.238-07:00This sounds like the same speeches that the GM and...This sounds like the same speeches that the GM and Chrysler CEOs were spouting about a year or so ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-51359738626333375202009-05-20T23:34:30.493-07:002009-05-20T23:34:30.493-07:00They will gain some back by claiming capital losse...They will gain some back by claiming capital losses at tax time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-66507462855665380332009-05-20T21:25:32.712-07:002009-05-20T21:25:32.712-07:00I know some employees at the Sac Bee that fell for...I know some employees at the Sac Bee that fell for this "all is well, the future looks good" crap and invested all their 401ks in MNI stock.

The arrest happened Friday night/Saturday morning so actually pretty fast reporting for the Star.<br /><br />But a columnist gets busted and the former executive editor does not see fit to make sure the same several paragraphs gets written about his wife who he busted out of the paddy wagon? And initially the Star management is not sure it is a story once the news breaks until blogs shame them. And it's a lie to say she was retired then. She was still a columnist on January 2 because a column was expected for the Jan. 4 paper. Her retirement came after her DUI arrest. Not before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
