Last week, the fuel cell makers were running on empty, but not this week. Music and video stores are at the bottom of the charts, down 12.8% as a group over the last 30 days.
Ethanol producers aren't doing much better. Stocks of the corn kings and their starchy cousins are, as a group, down 11.4% over the last month.
And flying low in the third spot are the airlines. Carriers such as Allegiant Travel
