Q: Hi 5i:
I believe it would be wise to get in soon on 5G hardware producers, transmission networks, appliance manufacturers.
Aside from Canadian telecom networks I cannot readily identify any Canadian candidates.
Could you suggest Canadian opportunities, as well as a few promising US chip makers, networks, and end users?
Many thanks for your great service.

Q: My only holding in the communication sector right now is a half position in Telus and I would like to increase my weighting in the sector. Would you recommend that I top it up to a full position or purchase something else in the sector. I am also underweight US equities right now so I would accept a Canadian and/or US recommendation.
