Stocks near flat as investors seek direction in a lackluster session.

FedEx guided second quarter earnings per share at $1.30-$1.45, well below the $1.67 consensus, and lowered its fiscal year 2013 earnings per share outlook to $6.20-$6.60 from $6.90-$7.40.

Among the noteworthy losers was Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), down nearly 8% after the company's CFO resigned to pursue other opportunities.
Also lower were MCG Capital (MCGC), down 11% after being downgraded to "sell" at Stifel Nicolaus, and Optimer (OPTR), down more than 8% following a downgrade to an "underperform" rating at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
