Advisors' Opinion:

  Yet in this suffering, investors can find some pretty tasty long-term bargains.In this case were referring to French major Total (TOT).

  Like rivals BP and E, Total didnt have a great 2013. However, there are plenty of catalysts that should help propel TOT stock into the future. For investors looking for beat-up bargain, TOT stock could be the key to a great t! otal return in the energy sector.

  Those huge fields are just the kind of plays that the large super-majors –Exxon(XOM), Chevron(CVX) and Total(TOT) and the like — are clamoring to add. And with the downside now known — a max of $14.6 billion dollars — APC could finally be buy-out bait for one of the giants.

  Shares of energy companies without any near-term way to take advantage of any stoppage were off, with Chesapeake Energy (CHK) down 1.2% and France's Total (TOT) off 2.31%.

  You can see the same trends among many individual European stocks. Telecom giant Telefonica (NYSE: TEF  ) has big exposure to Latin America, but investors focus on its home country of Spain in limiting its gains. The same trend has affected French oil giant Total (NYSE: TOT  ) , which shares the same exposure to energy projects around the world yet has been tarnished by its proximity to the crisis-ridden continent. By focusing on value rather than perception, you can get some great values when others are being irrational.
