Welcome back to
another week of hot stocks. We're taking a look at the three best-performing industries and your favorite long and short candidates in each, according to
Motley Fool CAPS.
What is CAPS? It's a unique system in which each investor rates at least seven stocks versus the S&P 500, as either an "outperform" or an "underperform."

All-star stock pickers, whose choices have performed better than 80% of the community, more heavily influence the ratings.
