part of the benefit of the rockwell collins deal is it brings with it a lot of cash flow.t should help the businesses stand on their own. you have to get the deal done first. i think that is what people are still waiting on. as you mentioned, we are looking for china approval. the signs are that this deal is not a political football. this is not a qualcomm 2.0. it is more of a waiting game and hopefully we should get on in the next coming days. if not weeks. again, we will have to see what they do with the portfolio. there are a couple different ways you can do this. i mentioned the aerospace business standing alone. that seems to be the most clear way to go about a breakup. as you look at the other businesses, climate control, you could spin those off. those could stand alone. or you could look at m&a for those businesses. there has been talk about consolidation in the hvac state. you have johnson controls which is talking about spinning off its battery business. that would leave it as a standalone company and there could be consolidation opportunities. vonnie: brooke sut

other big names, rockwell collins, united reynolds 52-week low. sealed air also down 52-week dow du pont. 52-week lows these are largely on margin pressures and to extent on tariff issues. when are we going to get some kind of bounce here? just short term there's a couple things to look for first off is lighter volume. we started seeing that toward the end of last week a pickup in short-term indicators like ten-day moving average only a quarter of the market is above its ten-day moving average that's a little better than the middle of last week. still kind of on the weak side less volatility in general vix curve flattening the vix still hovering around 20 needs to get down to 18, 17. that'll go toward a more normal vix curve where the cash contract is a lower price than the futures contracts that are a few months out that's still not happening yet although it has been a little flatter. guys, back to you. >> robert, thank you very much this is of course the busiest week of earnings it kicks off today with a third of both the dow and s&p 500. they w

ongoing war between our countries specific to approval of united technologies acquisition of rockwell-collins's acquisition of those fox assets do you have a sense for whether that's a possibility or a view on how those deals are going to fare with the chinese regulators as they await approval >> well, i don't think it's appropriate for me to comment on acquisitions that are pending before another country's regulatory authorities i was surprised when the chinese vetoed the qualcomm acquisition of nxp because that had been approved by quite a few other countries and china was the only one who turned it down now the chinese say that was not related to trade disputes but you never know all i know is everybody else approved it and they turned it down >> and specific to china overall and where things stand in terms of the possibility of continued negotiations, i'm seeing something on the wires just now from larry kudlow, the economic adviser, saying china hasn't responded yet to u.s. requests over trade and talks is that your understanding as well is there a continued impasse between the two count
