Broadband Carriers & Network Equipment

Own the businesses that sell connectivity and supply the networks carrying it, rather than another basket of AI compute suppliers. The recent declines in AT&T, Verizon, Ciena and Corning create an opportunity to pair recurring connectivity revenue with network-equipment exposure. Carrier capital-spending restraint and competition remain the principal risks. Launch basket (equal weight): T, VZ, CSCO, CIEN, GLW, TMUS, CMCSA, NOK Rules: 1. No inverse, leveraged or volatility ETFs. 2. Only names tradable at the enrolled brokers (Moomoo): no OTC listings, no dead tickers, nothing on the refused list.
