Indeed, the U.S. benchmark for oil, West Texas Intermediate trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange CLG26, , ended the week down 11.2%, and its international counterpart, Brent crude UK:LCOG6, saw a 10.5% weekly drop.

Other stocks, including a handful energy names, enjoyed a bounce that helped them avoid the worst week ever. Here’s a more complete list:
