Scaramucci: Could This Company Aggressively Buy Back Stock?

It's no secret that Wall Street often overreacts to catalysts – even the smallest catalysts.

And with the fiscal cliff potentially triggering a series of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts in excess $50 billion, it's no surprise that some investors have panicked and run for the exits.

But panic selling is called panic selling for a good reason – it's preceded by panic. Typically, stocks are oversold when investors panic.

Like Warren Buffett often says, perhaps you should you be greedy while so many others are fearful.

Two of the Fast Money traders think sure think so.

Anthony Scaramucci, managing parting of SkyBridge Capital, said as a result of fiscal cliff fears Microsoft is incredibly cheap.

"30% of the market cap is in cash and it has a free cash flow yield of 13%," he said. That alone is reason enough to buy.

But Scaramucci is buying with both hands. He believes Microsoft wants shares to go up and intends to put cash to work to achieve that goal.

"And with tax rates probably going up it makes sense that they would soak up shares," he said. And even if we go off the fiscal cliff, Scaramucci still likes Microsoft. "If that happens it's a defense play."

All told Scaramucci said, "For 2013, I think the stock is cheap and an aggressive buy."

If you're looking for other trades Guy Adami, managing director of stockMONSTER.com, suggested the defense sector. Even though the fiscal cliff could result in cuts totaling over $50 billion, Adami likes the space.

He doesn't think cuts will be that deep – and even if they are he thinks a lot is priced in. "My plays are long Raytheon andL3, " he said. "They're terrific."
