Connectivity: Carriers, Fiber & Network Equipment

Own the businesses that sell connectivity and build the physical networks carrying it, rather than another basket centered on AI compute. Recent weakness in carriers and network suppliers offers an entry into recurring service revenues and network-upgrade demand; AT&T and Verizon show free-cash-flow yields of 11.4% and 10.7%, respectively. Carrier capital-spending restraint and equipment competition remain the principal risks. Launch basket (equal weight): T, VZ, CSCO, CIEN, GLW, TMUS, 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.
