___ and downs (3)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for ups that I've seen before include "successes" , "Increases (a level)" , "Periods of good fortune" , "Opposite of downs" , "Sup in good times" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Newsday, the USA Today, the LA Times and The New York Times.
