Cold Stocks You're Selling Now

Welcome back to another Foolish review of the coldest stocks as ranked by Motley Fool CAPS. We're looking at the three worst-performing industries over the past 30 days and your favorite short and long candidates in each.

Last time, subprime lenders were cuddled up with Jack Frost in a capital-destroying polar bear-hug. Anyone want to bet they've escaped? Of course not. The dirtbags at NovaStar Financial (NYSE: NFI  ) and their peers are, as a group, down 27.6% since late October.

But they're not alone. Blue-lipped financial insurers rank second, off 27.4% over the past 30 days. And that's including the results of four-star heater Wesco Financial.

Who's in third? Marine stocks. They've soaked shivering investors with a 27% average loss over the last month.
