i want to ask the kimberlys, the proctors. they have an ideal. if the fed says the wrong thing, that deal won't be worth anything. if the fed says listen china is the problem people will battle. unilever had a remarkable report. >> somebody asked. we had $225 billion in outflow. money had to go somewhere. do you believe it went to cash? >> i think some cash. i go back to the visa quarter, charlie sharp, a sharp man, a great quarter. he said people are saving. people are absolutely saving. so it's possible. they pri the money in. they're not earning much on the cd. i think they want to buy a lot of these they'll buy kellogg or kraft. it's a good company. they're not coming in yet to the mlps. they are saving. and the shark is so smart. you go over the conference call. you realize americans are saving more. that's a part of the damper on the economy. we used to be a problem. now we're like japan. yes, people are taking the capital one was the outlyer. they added reserves. i think they were being putin. the visa call was a little shudder. the opposi

i like proctor, frankly. >> this is what you call a bounce. for a moment there, we had three s&p 500 stocks in the red. three. which is just enormous. you don't see that too often. >> you trade around core positions if you are able to do that at home. selloff to buy the highest quality companies. don't get overconfident. a big mistake to get overconfident here. it is just bad to get overconfident. we'll keep our eye on a fixed income in the bond markets. rick santelli at the cme for us once again. >> good morning carl. it is fascinating. if you look at where ten-year yields bottomed out, whether it was tuesday or wednesday or what's considered today's session in the wee hours of the morning, long before our time zone was center stage, those yields were respectively 218, 217, 218. why is that significant? we'll get to that in a minute. look at the 24-hour chart. seen o the far left. a two-day chart, the pairing there. if you look at the year to date chart, you now have the answer. it was where we finished last year and where we basically settle

we have to get proctor and cigna and stratus and time warner cable one more look. more squawk from the street in a moment. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive? >>> cigna reporting a better than expected profit. this on the heels offer the company selling to anthem that would create the largest health insurer by membership covering about 53 million people. joining us now at post 9 is cigna's president and ceo, david cordani. david, antitrust continues to be the question mark amongst investors. a long period is going to begin for this review. the simple point the critics make is that this interest rate consolidation, you, etna, humana even the centene deal is going to lead to higher prices and less competition. >> the key is the two companies are quite complimentary. in general, we operate in different businesses. for example, about $20 billion or over half of our revenue are in businesses that anthe

even iconic businesses like apple or proctor and gamble have felt this pressure.e need a new generation of committed, long-term investors to provide a counterweight to the hit and run activists. some institutional investors already are beginning to push back. we need more pension funds and proxy advisory firms to do so as well. institutional investors control 70% of the shares in the largest 1000 u.s. companies. they have unmatched influence and therefore, and unmatched obligation to guide companies towards strategies and metrics focused on long-term value. there are things government should do as well. as president, i would order a full review of regulations on shareholder activism, some of which haven't been re-examined in decades. let alone modernized to reflect changing realities in our economy. we also have to take a hard look at stock buybacks. investors and regulators like ignore information about these transactions. capital markets work out when information is available to all. places like the u.k. and hong kong require companies to disclose stock buybacks

so i know that the same proctor leaders are coming i know the unitarian leaders are coming like jim reedwe're saying come come. if you are concerned about this country and the soul of this country and the soul of democracy, you need to be here because this case is the case. i don't know why north carolina was chosen but we were chosen. and we have to fight in this moment. melissa, i want your reeders to be -- readers to be clear, this is intentional. 70% of african-americans use early voting. even though we represent 22% of the population over 42% utilize our same-day registration. those things are being rolled back or have been ended. this is a direct attack. this is the same thing that was done in post-deconstruction after reconstruction in the 1800s. >> so reverend barber, as you know, i live in winston-salem, north carolina now teaching students, and i will be there with msnbc cameras to capture the work you all are doing. i look forward to seeing you tomorrow in winston-salem, north carolina, and who knows who else will make an appearance. >>> before we go to break, we want to give

if you and proctor and gamble were to step in and you had a department that dysfunctional, you would have fired the management team, straightened it out and spun it off. and your core competency health care being a significant part of that construction management is not a core of mission and i would love it if you would re-examine the va from being involved, we'll have legislation today that i talked to sloan gibson and the figure projects above 250 million dollars would be outsourced to the gsa or army corps of engineers. one of the problems in the legislation today is that the denver construction administrative constriction board was supposed to be finished with work in june and will not be done in june may be done in september. we held a hear income denver on the aurora projects at the state capitols last year the chairman was there. and stuck to this $604 million figure the project could be built for $604 million lost in litigation late in 2014 on every count this was a plan over $1 billion that could not be built for $604 million. the army corps of engineers is in the process of

. >>> proctor & gamble, six straight quarterly declines in sales. how about that?ink there is something going else here. down to 77. 3 1/2% down, biggest loser in the dow. >>> this should be the headline of the year aaa says gasoline prices could fall below $2 by this winter. i've been staying. nobody is listening to me. now aaa says it. >> you buried the lead. stuart: that's very true. as soon as i saw that from aaa, my goodness, that is the story number one. >> every time we start to say that it goes back up. >> will it help gdp, charles? that was a big reason gdp was stronger today. >> gdp was weaker? >> it was a big part of the gain was lower gas price. >> although the theory i know eric bolling keeps coming on eventually will kick in. people are taking gas savings. paying fuel oil bill and rest under mattress or empty coffee can. they're not spending money. stuart: do you put cash in coffee chan in freezer section of the refrigerator, don't you? >> years ago. years ago. i was notorious for hiding money as a kid. stuart: talk to me about facebook. look at the s
