Xerox: A High Quality Stock At A Dirt Cheap Valuation [View article]
I have owned XRX for a year plus at an average cost of 7. Sure looked cheap then and more so now with their '12 results counted in. I think your projection of PE is somewhat optimistic, but double digit PE and Price would not surprise me.

I own GSK, purchased about a month ago just under 42 for two reasons. Stock was beaten down not dissimilar to PFE in 2011-2 and the dividend yield and basics seemed pretty good to me. The potential appreciation kicker of a 10% convinced me. So we will see.
