Q: I noticed that Knight Therapeutics (GUD) is lending Synergy Strips Corp $6M. As part of this deal, Knight will receive 15% interest on the loan, and get a 10-year warrant to purchase 3.5 million shares of Synergy at $0.34 a share. Synergy shares are currently trading at $0.425

My potentially easy question is: what does Synergy get out of this besides the loan? Do they get any corporate knowledge from Knight? 15% interest and a 10 year warrant to buy shares at a (potentially significant) discount seems like a really bad deal for Synergy, and a fantastic deal for Knight. What am I missing here? Couldn't Synergy just go to a bank for a loan?

Q: Western Forest Products has dropped from its recent high, while West Fraser Timber got back to its high. I assume this is because $WFT was mentionned in an article on Bloomberg as well as in LesAffaires. Do you think that's likely it, or did I miss a piece of news? $WEF, which is lagging, is cheaper and pays a dividend. I'm intrigued. Also, it seems to me forestry stocks are in an excellent position right now, with not only lower oil prices but a lower CAD. I'd love to get your insight.
