ROMANS: It's 25 minutes after the hour. "Minding Your Business" this morning. Investors on hold today. U.S. stock futures flat right now. A little apprehensive after the Federal Reserve refrained from taking further action to bolster the U.S. or global economy yesterday. Fear about the debt crisis in Europe and how they're going to implement this new intergovernmental treaty. All of that still overhanging the markets. One stock to watch this morning, Avon. The cosmetic giant announcing late yesterday it's looking for a new CEO. The current chief executive, Andrea Joan, will continue to serve as the executive chairwoman for that company. A new e-mail suggests News Corp executive, James Murdoch, was informed about the damaging hacking allegations against his "News of the World" newspaper back in 2008. This revelation coming just weeks after Murdoch testified he was unaware of the illegal eavesdropping. In a letter to British lawmakers, Murdoch now concedes that he replied to that e-mail, but he doesn't admit that he read it. $50 million, that's how much the government says it will save now that it stopped minting the special presidential $1 coins. The treasury says that it is about a decade worth of those extra coins because no one wants them. And of course, $50 million is, what, 0.004 percent of the deficit. The pieces of paper that created Apple, one of the world's most valuable companies, hit the auction block. The founding documents sold for more than $1.3 million. They were sold to a firm in Miami. Those documents, by the way, were signed on April 1st, 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wosniak, and Ronald Wayne who backed out of the agreement less than two weeks later. Up next, leaving Iraq, only a few thousand troops remain. We're live in Kuwait as a war comes to a close. AMERICAN MORNING back right after this break.
