Read some negative feedback about CHK, might be worth the look.


Chesapeake Energy Corp (CHK]]- CHK is a company with a market capitalization of $13.69B. At time of writing this, they were trading at about $21.41, at the lower end of their 52-week range. Their price per earnings is $10.77, beta is fairly stable at 1.07 relative to the overall market, and their earnings per share is $1.99. Their yield is 0.35 or 1.60%. As recently as Jan 13, 2011, analyst Phil Weiss of Argus Research repeated his sell rating on CHK, cutting his 2011 rating to $2.81/share from $2.88/share, acknowledging that natural gas prices were eating away at CHK’s profits. CHK was also cited in the most recent Bollinger Report dated 1/16/12 as a Sell. We’d rather not buck the analysts on this one.
