Today, the market traded sideways again, thanks Wal-Mart pull the market out of the black.

Wal-Mart rose $1.52, or 2.8 percent, to $55.42 after a Citi Investment Research analyst said the retailer looks like it will cut prices on food, one of the lowest-margin segments in retailing. Wal-Mart is competing with the supermarket companies for market share.

Google and Apple fall back.
