Welcome back to another Foolish review of the hottest stocks, as ranked by Motley Fool CAPS. We're looking at the three best-performing industries over the past 30 days and your favorite long and short candidates in each.
Last time, gaming stocks such as The9 (NASDAQ:NCTY) and Shuffle Master (NASDAQ:SHFL) were cashing in. They've since folded, leaving renewable-energy firms raking in the chips.
No, really. So hot are the green gurus that biofuel specialist Verenium (NASDAQ:VRNM) and its peers took all three spots in this week's list. Each group was up at least -- wait for it -- 60% over the past 30 days.
According to you, our Foolish readers, the best stock (yup, only one) in these industries to own now -- i.e., the one with four or five of the maximum five stars in CAPS -- is:
