The Index mourns the loss of the world's oldest person of African-descent, Detroit's Daisy Bailey, but the Index goes up in honor of a life that's seen a whole lot of black history made.

Born in the 19th Century and lived to see a black President. Wow.

SELL

Lil' Wayne

The saying goes you only do two days -- well, then Lil' Wayne only got one more to go -- 364 days from now.

I don't care who you are -- a year in prison is a waste of life.

Lately the Internet has been thinking Lil Wayne is dead about as much as it does that Tupac is alive.

This, from the New York Times:

An African-American in New Orleans has a shorter life expectancy than the average person in Vietnam or Honduras.

Say what?! No wonder Lil' Wayne's so busy. Damn.

The market takes a turn for the positive after a week of minor losses.

WINNERS

Lil Wayne (LILW) 16.28 +2.59 +15.91%

It's been a banner year for one of hip-hop's hardest workers.  First "Tha Carter III" goes platinum in a week and now he's picked up eight Grammy nominations.

 

Looks like he's gonna get another use outta that tuxedo.

We wonder how he'll celebrate when he wins...

Just stirring the pot... all in good fun, folks.

LOSERS

Clarence Thomas (JCT) .35 -.42 -54.55%

Analysts here didn't think this Supreme Court justice could get more bankrupt, but now comes word that Thomas is asking his fellow justices to consider a case that challenges Barack Obama's citizenship.

Leave it to this notoriously silent bootlicker to pick this moment to speak his conscience.  There are no words.
