Q: What do you think of MRD? It looks very cheap to me trading at about 60%BV, modest debt and very low payout ratio. I wouldn't think that there would be much downside at the current price level?
Thanks

Q: Given the recent Bank of Canada action, I am trying to put together a strategy to handle bond re-investments as they mature within my portfolio. This would include risk (spread) and maturity (duration). Have you considered entering this arena as a service to clients or is there somewhere you know of that can be of assistance? I am not a bond trader. I invest with the desire for income and hold to maturity.

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: Hey guys,
Just wondering what your thoughts are on Marathon Oil Corporation compared to a larger company like Chevron. Further to that do you expect that these companies are near the bottom or will it be a while still before we see the light at the end of the tunnel.
