Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Total (NYSE: TOT  ) will release its quarterly report tomorrow, and investors have gotten a bit more upbeat about the prospects for the French oil company's stock. Yet from an income perspective, Total earnings aren't poised to deliver the growth that you'd expect in light of relatively strong price action in the oil market in recent months.
