Kodiak Oil & Gas (KOG)

[Timothy Smith]

Interesting article, always a big fan of Fool commentary. The potential for a takeover, your thoughts?

Kodiak has long been seen as a potential takeover target. So far, though, Kodiak has eluded the reach of larger companies, despite its desirable mix of oil and natural-gas liquids. With the much larger Chesapeake Energy (NYS: CHK) trying to shed assets rather than get bigger, Kodiak may well stay independent longer than many have thought in the past.
