XRX news is out. Not exactly what we were looking for.

Analyses from CNBC this morning:

<XRX not moving too much after hours; a dividend cut illustrates a series of things - before the cut announced after the close, its yield was 7.66%

When the stock was at 63 1 ½ to 2 years ago, the yield was about 1.5%

The company conceded that it had an unsustainable business model; it was looking at a sale of assets and even reviewed the dividend level - the dividend is the first thing to go for a company as it is the least senior of the payments that are due

The first thing to do is to slash the dividend; the company will be saving $400m and that's a good thing - it can keep that to improve its operations

XRX down 0.06 at 10.69>
