Taking cues from a troubling and unexpected slowdown in China's growth, markets suffered their worst day in months on Monday. Two explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon this afternoon drove stocks down further as investors struggled to understand the attacks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) lost 265 points, or 1.8%, to close at 14,599.
All 30 Dow stocks lost ground today, and Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG ) ended as one of just five to lose less than 1%. Losing 0.5% was enough to earn P&G a spot among the day's top performers as the company raised its dividend by 7%, to an annual payout of around 3%.�
Industrials and energy stocks slipped on the Chinese slowdown, as the country saw its industrial production advance 9.5% in the first quarter. While that growth isn't shabby these days from a domestic standpoint, it's a 0.5% slowdown from last year's clip. China's GDP grew at 7.7% after growing by 7.9% in the fourth quarter. General Electric (NYSE: GE ) ended Monday as one of the worst-performing blue chips in the index, losing 2.8%.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Selena Maranjian]
The biggest new holdings are Valeant Pharmaceuticals International�and Virgin Media. Other new holdings of interest include Yandex (NASDAQ: YNDX ) , the Russian search-engine company that has seen its stock spike more than 40% over the past year. The stock surged on a strong first-quarter earnings report that featured revenue up 36% and earnings up 79%. Despite many bullish signs, there has been significant insider selling, and management is planning to buy back many shares. With Internet usage growing briskly in Russia, some see the stock as a good buy.
- [By Jeff Reeves]
But if you want to roll the dice on a risky but high-reward play, consider telecom giant Yandex (YNDX). This company is actually based in the Netherlands, but operates the leading Russian web portal, with search and email services. It�� essentially the Google (GOOG) of Russia.
- [By Mark Hulbert]
Also receiving at least two buy recommendations from these market-beating advisers are two non-U.S. companies: Yandex (YNDX) �, the Russian search engine, and Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU) �, the Chinese Internet company. Both also sport P/Es that are well above the market: Yandex�� is 28 and Qihoo�� is 51. Yet their PSRs are also lower than Twitter��, at 12 and 15.9, respectively.
- [By Rick Munarriz]
There are a lot of factors that investors will need to keep in mind as they dig into the numbers, and you can be sure that investors in Yandex (NASDAQ: YNDX ) and Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU ) will also be tuning in. Both companies report just two trading days after Google steps up with its financials, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see those region-specific search engines that dominate their home markets move on positive or negative developments.
