CAPS Rating:

An oil and natural gas exploration and production company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of properties for the production of crude oil and natural gas from underground reservoirs and the marketing of natural gas and oil.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Natural gas is/will increase in importance as oil prices increase and access to LNG and Canadian Natureal gas decrease. CHK has large and growing reserves and has transitioned from a company focused on resource capture to resource explotation.

Avatar motherbird (< 20) Submitted: 2/02/08 2:34 AM

Has all the makings of another ENRON.

Quarter after quarter the company dilutes shareholders equity with new debt and new shares issuances.

For a company that constantly reports great earnings, thier cash flow statement is a disaster.

Recs 0 (CHK) MaxProfit81 (89.78) Submitted: 5/09/08 1:21 AM : Start Price: $51.06 CHK Score: 12.13 Chesapeake Energy is sounding like a buy to me. Though they reported a loss due to energy hedges, and a one time tax loss write off, this energy stock has the bad behind it. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
