NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2022 / The Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth There''s been a historic jump in new businesses in recent years, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. A record 5.4 million applications for new businesses were filed with the IRS in 2021, exceeding the 4.4 million applications filed in 2020, which was also a record. Even with this spike in entrepreneurship, many American small businesses are still wrestling with the effects of a global pandemic, supply chain disruptions, staffing strains, economic volatility, sustained inflation, and more. To show up for America''s small businesses like they''ve been showing up for communities across the country, Mastercard is expanding one of its signature small business initiatives into new territory, setting up shop with Strive USA , a new effort under the Strive banner of global programs led by the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth . "Because small businesses are so essential to the U.S. economy, the barriers that stand in the way of their success also stand in the way of shared prosperity and inclusive growth," said Shamina Singh, founder and president of the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth. "The American spirit of entrepreneurship has endured through every challenge of the last few years.

It may not occur to investors to look for blue-chip sleeper stocks, since they don’t often think of blue-chips as “sleepers.” In tough times, seasoned investors seek comfort in the stability and safety that well-established robust companies can offer. Blue-chip businesses generate consistent earnings thanks to their vast resources, resilient business models, and strong brands. In addition, such businesses boast impressive track records of delivering strong returns over the long term, including consistent and growing dividend payments. In an environment where the benchmark S&P 500 index has lost a quarter of its value year to date, the market now offers a range of undervalued blue-chip stocks. Clearly, some of these businesses have been unfairly punished by the jittery market sentiment. Put another way, the recent decline in valuations of some of the leading blue-chip stocks represents a compelling buying opportunity for patient, long-term investors. These stocks are primed to provide robust capital returns when market sentiment reverses.

It’s a bear market, and virtually all stocks are trending downward. But some are holding up better than others, and the Dow Jones Industrial Index stocks are one of the stronger groups. Through Sept. 26, the Dow Jones was down 20% for the year. That’s not great, of course. But it’s well ahead of the S&P 500 which is down 24% and the Nasdaq , which has sunk 31% over the same period. The Dow skews much more than other indexes towards so-called “old economy” stocks that are in more staid industries. That’s not always a plus, but it has served the index well in 2022 as the Dow stocks have managed to avoid the same extent of selling that we’ve seen in more growth-focused indexes. Here are seven Dow stocks to buy that will enable investors to cash in on this change in market sentiment.

Researchers have uncovered a widespread credit card scheme that has gone undetected since 2019. Amazon Web Services, Mastercard, and Visa could potentially be unknowingly participating in the scheme, the firm says. The company''s cofounder says people should be proactive in checking their credit cards for unfamiliar charges. Cybersecurity researchers say they have uncovered a massive, multi-million dollar credit card scheme, and major companies like Amazon Web Services, Mastercard, and Visa are all potentially unwitting participants. Consumer-facing cybersecurity firm ReasonLabs uncovered the scheme , which they said has flown under the radar for years by charging small enough monthly subscription fees for generic-sounding services to go undetected by scores of victims in the US. ReasonLabs says the scheme has been operating without notice since 2019 and has reaped fraudsters between $10 million to $50 million per year. How the scheme works The operation appears to have gone undiscovered largely due to its complexity.
Escobar: The Real US Agenda In Africa Is Hegemony Authored by Pepe Escobar via The Cradle, Forget development. Washington''s primary interest in Africa today is keeping the Chinese and Russians out… In a rational environment, the 77th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) would discuss alleviating the trials and tribulations of the Global South, especially Africa. That won’t be the case. Like a deer caught in the geopolitical headlights, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued platitudes about a gloomy “winter of global discontent,” even as the proverbial imperial doomsayers criticized the UN’s “crisis of faith” and blasted the “unprovoked war” started by Russia. Of course the slow-motion genocide of Donbass russophone residents for eight years would never be recognized as a provocation. Guterres spoke of Afghanistan, “where the economy is in ruins and human rights are being trampled” – but he did not dare to offer context. In Libya, “divisions continue to jeopardize the country” – once again, no context.

Two private banks in Turkey suspended their use of Russian payment system Mir earlier this week following warning signals from the United States. The system, a rival to the Belgium-based SWIFT network, is not directly targeted by sanctions. But U.S. officials say there is a worry that Russia is expanding its use of Mir to try to evade sanctions. Experts say banks that allow the expanded use of Mir could trigger secondary sanctions. Reuters news agency reports the issue is expected to be discussed Friday at a meeting of top officials including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey''s largest private lender, Is Bankasi, said on Monday that it halted the use of the Russian payment system while it assessed the new guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Denizbank, another private lender in Turkey, said on the same day that it was no longer able to provide service for the Russian payment system Mir. Denizbank, currently owned by Emirates NBD, was controlled by Russian Sberbank until 2019. ''Heightened risk'' The decision by two banks announced within hours of each other follows additional sanctions and further guidance by the U.S.

Twenty-four Republican attorneys general sent a letter to Visa, Mastercard, and American Express Tuesday warning them to drop plans to code and compile gun sales in America.
Watch Video A group of Republican attorneys general are pushing the major payment networks — Visa, Mastercard and American Express — to drop their plans to start tracking sales at gun stores, arguing the plans could infringe on consumer privacy and push legal gun sales out of the mainstream financial network. The letter comes more than a week after the payment networks said they would adopt the International Organization for Standardization''s new merchant code for sales at gun stores. The merchant code would categorize sales at gun stores not unlike how payment networks categorize sales at airlines, restaurants, and department stores. SEE MORE: Major Credit Card Companies Will Soon Categorize Gun Store Purchases In their letter, the AGs threaten to use all legal tools at their disposal to stop the payment networks from tracking gun sales. "Categorizing the constitutionally protected right to purchase firearms unfairly singles out law-abiding merchants and consumers alike," the letter said.
Gun control advocates have argued that separately categorizing store sales could potentially flag a surge of suspicious sales activity to safety officials.

Merchants such as Target Corp. [s] and Walmart Inc. signed on to a letter asking Congress to pass a law that would require options for the routing of credit-card transactions over alternative networks, according to The Wall Street Journal. Sen. Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, and Sen. Roger Marshall, a Kansas Republican, who introduced such a bill back in July, said that alternate routing options would increase competition and lead to lower swipe fees when people use many Visa Inc. and Mastercard Inc. credit cards. "Swipe fees for credit cards are higher in the United States than anywhere else in the industrialized world-more than seven times as high as Europe," a group of more than 1,600 merchants said in their letter, the Journal reported Wednesday. Debit cards already carry a requirement for routing options in most cases. Visa Chief Financial Officer Vasant Prabhu addressed the proposed legislation at a Goldman Sachs conference earlier this week, saying that there is already "a ton of competition" in the credit-card business and that reductions in interchange fees as a result of any new laws could impact the rewards landscape for consumers.
