The averages then drifted higher, with each of the major indices up as much as 1.0% on the day. The market then traded sideways as it tried its best to hold onto the session’s gains...The Dow rose 118.20 to 10,185.53, the S&P gained 15.31 to 1,089.18, and the Nasdaq added 23.85 to 2,171.20…Among the biggest gainers: Valassis Communications (VCI) surged 17.4% to $24.58 after settling a lawsuit against NewsCorp.

theflyonthewall.com: Gannett sees stabilization in the U.S. and UK economies
“As the year progressed, we continuously showed improvements in revenue comparisons and in the permanent restructure of our cost base, culminating in a strong finish to the year. These operating improvements, together with a number of strategic financing actions this year, led to a significant strengthening of our balance sheet. We reduced debt by approximately $250M in the quarter and by $755M for the full year. As a result, our debt leverage ratio was reduced substantially to 2.6 times, well below the 3.5 times ceiling,” said Craig Dubow, chairman, president and CEO. “Advertising demand firmed with the stabilization of the economies of the U.S. and UK. Our Q4 revenue comparisons were the best of the year with sequential improvement during the quarter. Numerous efforts to consolidate and centralize operations along with lower newsprint expense resulted in significantly lower costs. This enabled us to generate higher year-over-year pre-tax income, after adjusting for special items, despite lower revenues including the relative absence of political spending. As our fourth quarter results reflect, we are much stronger and well positioned as we move into 2010.” :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: On The Fly: U.S. Market Wrap-Up for Friday 1/29
The futures were higher in pre-market trading after the release of the fourth quarter GDP report.

The move was cemented after the release of a better-than-expected consumer confidence reading, and a better-than-expected purchasing managers’ report. The move lasted until noon, when the first cracks began to appear. The Nasdaq fell into negative territory, followed by the S&P, and finally the DJIA.

(BNE) rallied 7.5% to $6.57 after being initiated at Buy at Goldman Sachs (GS). Ruddick (RDK) surged 6.7% to $28.35 after being raised to Buy from Hold at BB&T Capital Markets. The losers included: Computer Programs and Systems (CPSI) which slumped 14.5% to $37.63 after reporting Q4 results that missed estimates by 15%, and Theravance (THRX) which dropped 18.7% to $10.97 after reporting that it must submit more information to U.S. regulators regarding its experimental treatment for pneumonia.
