Walmart's stock sliding, Netflix to report, and Uber expands

U.S. stocks are having an up-and-down day. The major indicies (^DJI, ^GSPC, ^IXIC) climbed off the open before sliding into the red. One of the biggest movers lower was Walmart. CEO Doug McMillion says he expects sales at the world's largest retialer to be flat for fiscal year 2016 and investors reacted with a sell-off to the tune of about 9%. McMillion's comments, coupled with a mixed retail sales report, dragged down some other big retailers such as target (TGT), Costco (COST) and Sears (SHLD).
