2 Dow Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in March and 1 to Avoid
Two of the Dow Jones Industrial Average's 30 components make for no-brainer buys, while another brand-name member continues to suffer from self-inflicted wounds.
For nearly 129 years, the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) has served as a key barometer of Wall Street's health and stability. This index, which began its existence with a dozen mostly industrial components in May 1896, is now home to 30 diverse, time-tested, multinational businesses.
But just because the Dow's components have a rich history of profits, it doesn't mean all 30 stocks are necessarily worth buying -- especially amid a historically pricey stock market.
As we steam ahead into March, two Dow stocks stand out for all the right reasons and can be purchased with confidence, while another remains rife with red flags and should be avoided.
