Last year, the S&P 500 finished almost exactly flat. The Dow Jones industrial average managed to match that feat for the month of April: It ended up rising just 1.59 points over the course of the month, which means it was up a whisper-thin 0.01 percent.
Even the month's biggest gainers weren't all that impressive. Here are the Dow stocks that rose the most in April:
* Travelers, up 8.7 percent
* Verizon, up 5.6 percent
* AT&T, up 5.4 percent
* Kraft, up 4.9 percent
* American Express, up 4.1 percent
Among the biggest losers in April, though, there was one real dog. Here are the bottom five Dow stocks for the month:
* Wal-Mart, down 3.7 percent
* Cisco, down 4.7 percent
* Procter & Gamble, down 5.3 percent
* JPMorgan Chase, down 6.5 percent
* Bank of America, down 15.3 percent
