Following up with the first part of this story, below are the remaining five stock picks that prominent businessmen and businesswomen from around the world told the NY Times. As mentioned previously, these are considered long-term investments, ten years or more in most cases.

If there is one consensus between all of the financial professionals interviewed, when it comes to seeking long-term stocks, steady growth by well-established companies is certainly favored.

7. Henry Schein Inc. (NYSE: HSIC) - Suggested by Bill Nasgovitz, from Heartland Value Fund, Henry Schein is a stock that can show a high return, especially when considering it is selling at a very appealing price at the moment.

8. Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) - This pick was provided by George A. Mairs III, of Mairs & Power Growth Fund. According to Mairs, he is looking for companies with durable franchises, companies that have been around for at least ten years, and that have a leading market share.

9. JDS Uniphase (NYSE: JDSU) - Liz Ann Sonders, managing director and member of investment policy with Campbell, Cowperthwait, stated it is easier for her to suggest technology stocks, because she believes this sector will be the big winner over the next decade.
