What seems like a long week ends with the Index trending up.

WINNERS

The Roots (RTS) 16.4 +3.48 +21.22%

The hardest working band in hip-hop release a new album. This between gigging with Jimmy Fallon every night. Where do they find the time?

LOSERS

Barack Obama (BHO) 279.57 -14.53 -4.94%

We know he wanted to emulate Lincoln, but essentially firing generals for what amounts to be insubordination probably wasn't what he was referring to.

Bsi 2,090.4 -12.49 -.59%

It's weeks like this, when your top general in an unwinnable war speaks on the record to Rolling Stone blasting the administration and the oil spill gushes on with no end in sight, when you wonder why anyone would want to be president in the first place.

*U-S-A! U-S-A!

This last week's episode of The Boondocks has a black on black crime feel to it. Sure was a funny episode of what we think has been their best season yet.

BUY

Championships make stars. And while we don't fell he'll be a music star -- again, see Afghan Girls -- he'll certainly be someone who'll be talked about for some time to come.

SELL

African World Cup Squads

Not a lot to celebrate this year.
