Own a lot of GM. Buying more.

>>DETROIT (AP) - General Motors Corp.'s profit more than doubled to $1.3 billion in the second quarter, citing improved sales, higher North American production and the benefits of cost-cutting efforts.

The earnings reported Tuesday amounted to $2.43 a share in the April-June period compared with earnings of $477 million, or $1.03 a share, a year ago.

Excluding special items (primarily a $156 million quarterly loss for its Hughes Electronics subsidiary, which is being sold), GM earned $1.5 billion, or $2.63 per share, for the quarter.

A consensus of Wall Street analysts polled by Thomson Financial/First Call expected GM to earn $2.42 per share, excluding the special items.
