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.

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.

This may be your best chance to find Dow stocks to buy on the dip, although that might not seem intuitive given the current market climate. Still, if you have a long time horizon and a reasonable risk outlook, this may be the time to not only stay in equities but to make opportunistic buys. Historically, the market has an upward bias, but the market doesn’t announce when it hits a bottom. The Dow is seen as a barometer for the broader economy, and since every component of the index pays a dividend, owning one or more of the Dow stocks can help smooth out the current market volatility. Furthermore, some of these Dow stocks to buy on the dip are beginning to reach more attractive valuations which means they will likely have significant upside when the market does reverse course.

Not only does the iPhone command a significant market share, but it also carries a loyal following.

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.
Two dozen Republican attorneys general warned Visa, American Express and MasterCard on Tuesday not to go ahead with their plans to add a new merchant category code for gun retailers.

Since then, the holders of Visa and Mastercard bank cards issued in Russia can no longer pay for goods and services outside Russia.

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.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) warns that credit card companies have positioned themselves to track gun purchases and is asking the big three--Visa, Mastercard, American Express--why they are inserting themselves into Second Amendment issues.
