individualinvestor.com Xerox (NYSE: XRX - Quotes, News, Boards) $28.06 This provider of document management and copying machines trades at 1 times sales, 4.7 times EBITDA, and in the lower end of its 12-month trading range. The company just received a fairly large order from Home Depot (NYSE: HD - Quotes, News, Boards) and is betting that several new products will help drive earnings going forward. In late October, one executive bought 20,000 shares at an average price of $25.75. A director bought 10,000 shares in early October at an average price of $25.50. Might this indicate that good times lie ahead? Wall Street expects Xerox to earn $2.25 in 1999 and $2.33 in 2000. While this growth rate is not exactly stellar, the stock does trade at just 12 times 2000 estimates.

John: There is presently a revolution in flat screen display and printing. In the printing world a massive breakthru has ben made in the form of E-paper. Electronic paper is a Silicon rubber polymer sheet containing laid out rows and Columns of small plastic ferrules containing black and white pigments. The ferrules are laid out in a matrix form representing pixels. When you pass a Electromagnetic wave the ferrules can be polarized. It is likely that the info stream (10p bits)can be downloaded to a wand surface and retransmitted to the paper. A whole new set of standards and Eqpts will be involved. XRX and E-INK are the front runners. However E_INK has a big head start and has linked with LU and perhaps MOT. The FAX and Copier are defintely on the way out. They will be replaced by E-Paper and E-Newsprint & Storage Wands. A beginning has just been made.
