Earlier today, one of those Fools, All-Star dreamjob, tapped the stock as a particularly timely bargain opportunity:
Xerox looks very affordable right now at $8.80. Strong cash flows, respectable [cash return on invested capital] (would like a little higher), manageable debt, growing earnings and book value. Cash yield at almost 15% makes this cheap in my eyes.
