At midday, the Dow is off less than a half-percent after spending most of the morning on the other side of zero. The Nasdaq is up by a fraction, and only real market direction is nowhere fast.

That?s not true of stocks releasing earnings numbers, who seem to be following those numbers up and down.

Amazon is off more than 20% after posting a loss that was pretty much as expected. The company again promised profitability, but Wall Street looked at slowing sales and wasn't convinced.

Sears, meanwhile, saw shares rise (though only a bit) after reporting a rise in profits and announcing plans to restructure and cut 22% of its workforce.
