Hello everyone and welcome to the CNBC special Blue Chip Playbook.

I'm Sarah Eyes and Jim Kramer has the night off.

Our goal is our simple, give investors a guide to investing in the Blue Chips.

These stocks that are the cream of the crop, large companies, brand names, established track

records and solid dividend earners.

We broke it down for you and do multiple sectors.

Tonight we'll hit the consumer from two angles.

First, with inflation on everyone's mind, our consumer staples the place to hide.

Or, as we emerge from COVID, are we still spending an eclipse that will give consumers

discretionary names a boost.

Then we'll look for value in the beaten down tech sector and the pulse of healthcare, searching

for quality names and healthy returns.

The recent Fed moves have the financials under our spotlight but is now the time to invest.
