Posted on July 13, 2012 by robertwilkie

http://seekingalpha.com/article/717851-it-s-always-darkest-before-dawn-5-rock-bottom-buying-opportunities-under-10 Interesting article puts Xerox as a good buy, with a caveat of July 20th (earnings report).  But if you read the one below, its still kindof a buy, but not as good as this article says.
