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.

Today, they're still on the outs -- down 24.6% over the past 30 days -- but not as much as subprime insurers, which have suffered a 29% haircut since mid-December.
And in third? Stocks whose tickers coincide with common girl names. Effeminate retailers such as Ann Taylor
