Q: Dear 5i team.

Just curious which REIT owns the warehouses in Quebec that Amazon appears to be vacating with the announcement that they are closiing them all in the Province?
It will be a temp hit as they find new tenants, but is it material in the short term?

Thanks for your help in this regard.

Q: This 1st. of 3 Bitcoin Structured Alt ETFs offers a decent Risk/Reward for Bitcoin. What do you think? I'm thinking of buying CBXJ when it comes out shortly, because this has a Cap Range of 28 to 31%. CBTJ will offer 50 to 55%
Thanks!

From a Tariff perspective please provide your evaluation of the following names and how they might prevail or be negatively affected by US Tariffs:

Q: I am underwater significantly (-20 %to 30%) on the above 5 companies. I have a well balanced portfolio so am looking to either sell the above and replace them or add to them. Can you please give me your thoughts on which ones you would ditch and which ones (if any) you would add to. If you have any suggestions as replacements for any that you consider should be sold I would appreciate it. Thanks for your ongoing great insights. Peter

Q: I have been trying to get my head around what will happen with Trump's war against Canada. I have tended towards devastation to the Canadian economy and as such have shifted some investments to the US and taken a 25% cash position at least until we get some clarity on the situation. I would really like to get an understanding of just how devastating it would be. Assuming Trump does put a 25% tariff on Canadian goods just how bad does 5I think things could get . Unemployment numbers ? How deep a recession ? How or even can we weather the storm ? .... And any other thoughts you may have if we get the full brunt of a 25% tariff ? .....
I have been questioning my fears simply because Mr Canadian Market is so far not panicking { but I am } ......

Q: Looking at the REIT space given what seems to be a general decline in share prices of most real estate ETF's and general real estate related shares over the last few years. I already own DIR.UN and now I'm looking to add a REIT to the mix that offers at least a 6% dividend. I know you also like GRT.UN and CAR.UN. What are your thoughts on MREL and HGR as ETF options? Can you compare the two for me? Also would you suggest an alternate ETF to those tow ... or even a single REIT stock that you think can do well over the next 2-3 years and offer 5% dividend and capital protection.
