I think assets are attractive based on a commodity price recovery. Icahn doesn't always win however and his initial entry was much higher but I don't have too much concern at this level.

Chesapeake Energy (CHK +6.7%) surges higher after announcing a deal with Williams Cos. (WMB +1.4%) that will decrease its natural gas transportation costs in exchange for higher volume.

The deal should help improve CHK's 2016 guidance by diminishing the issues of high transportation costs and minimum volume commitments that have weighed on the shares for nearly a year, Wunderlich's Jason Wangler says.
