Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Aaron Levitt]

  For investors, the choice is clear — you need to focus globally when it comes to oil stocks. North American-focused oil stocks like C&J Energy (CJES) and Basic Energy Services (BAS) might not be up to snuff in such a highly challenging pricing environment.

• [By Jonathan Morgan]

  German stocks declined the most in more than two months as a report showed that Germany's auto market plummeted last month, while Bayer AG (BAYN) and BASF SE (BAS) fell.

• [By Sara Murphy]
