Q: Here are two telecom companies...one French and the other Russian. I have herd several experts say that telecoms are not good investments because they always have to reinvest all there free cash and profits in upgrading there equipment and technologies. So is there any advantages in owning them in the next year or two besides the dividend? Would they hold up during a recession? Thanks for your insight which is always helpful.

Q: I'm curious what your favourite emerging market companies are right now (that can be bought on a US exchange). I currently own MELI and am looking for some other ideas in the tech space. Or can you suggest an etf?

Thanks
