Let’s examine some Prospective Long-Term Buys; The follow 6 Dow Industrial stocks may well be good long-term buys.

These stocks we want to discuss are looking strong and all point to appealing charts that appear profitable. Stock swings are perfectly natural and at present the Dow Industrials are trading well in spite of the random sell-off. Morningstar.com reports these stocks offer a good value for the money but a small warning, these are not selling cheaply. However, the 6 main stocks we will look at still look good for one to two years trading if you can ride out the stock swings.

Many other DJI stocks are presently trading below the estimated fair value for Morningstar, and these could show promise for quick swing traders.

All thirty of the Dow stocks are presently trading at around seventy-five per cent of the value that Morningstar recommend that investors should consider selling. However, current stock swings could mean that these shares could peak in the next two to five years. So, is the Dow market cheap or over-valued?

I look at Morningstar stocks and screen other stocks accordingly. It's vital to consider stock swings and this can be done by looking at 52 week highs, point and figure charts and any other market indicator.
