Bsi 1,828.47 +42.13 +2.3%

The market recoups most of yesterday's losses on news that President-Elect Obama is getting to work early in order to slow down the financial crisis.

"Better him than me... knowwamean?"

BUY

Wattstax

A pitch perfect music documentary capturing a time, not long after the Civil Rights Movement, when Dr. King's dream seemed to be getting further away, rather than closer.

SELL

"I Am... Sasha Fierce"

No one here has heard the album, so we have no idea if it's any good.  Although analysts here will admit to feeling as though Beyonce's songs of late always sound like she's mad at someone. 

Alright girl, damn.

However, it's never a good sign when you feel that you're on the part of your career trajectory when you feel it's necessary to re-invent yourself through a fictional alter-ego.

Never a good idea... but often hilarious.

Next thing you know you're changing your name to an unpronouncible symbol.

Sigh...

Bsi 1,786.34 -50.00 -2.72%

Analysts here anticipated a selloff of The Current Play of Black Quarterbacks back in September.  Now the market as a whole catches up to the crisis after Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb got benched Sunday.

No soup for you, Philly.

McNabb -- benched.  Tavaris Jackson -- benched.  Vince Young -- benched.  Mike Vick -- jail.  What looked like a promising future for African-Americans at the position is going south fast.

Help us Jason Campbell.  You're our only hope.

Bsi 1,836.34 -16.24 -.88%

The Index feels the sting of serious losses in other markets.

WINNERS

Barack Obama  (BHO) 243.88 +11.61 +4.76%

Contrary to right-wing propaganda it looks as though the terrorists actually supported John McCain.  This, brought into the light as Obama is called a "house negro" by Al Qaeda.

There's an Arabic translation for "house negro"?  You learn something new every day.

LOSERS

Katt Williams  (KWPMP) 10.95 -3.28 -23.05%

News of a recent arrest and missed appearance on NBC's Conan O'Brian leading up to his leaving the road for exhaustion are the latest setbacks in a career poised for the superstardom his talent deserves.

Analysts here hope things get sorted out before Williams finds himself with on the margins with other promising, but now Missing in Action negroes.

Bsi 1,852.58 +37.92 +2.05%

Considering the historically, let's just say "complicated", relationship blacks have had with the police, the fact that the nation may have it's first African-American top cop in Eric Holder merits almost as much attention as the election of the first black president.

We've come a long way baby.
