    Chesapeake revenues grew at an annually compounded rate of 12.46% from fiscal year 2009 to fiscal year 2012. Its yearly revenues at the end of that period totaled $12.32 billion :cool:

    Gathering and Compression business segment of Chesapeake Energy generates revenues for around 28% of the company’s topline today, compared to 14% four years ago.

    Admittedly I don't know that much about CHK, but it sure seems expensive at 35 times earnings while paying 1.4%. I'd far rather invest in an oil company.

    The Oil and Natural Gas business segment of Chesapeake Energy contributed 51% of the company’s total revenues in fiscal 2012, that makes it the largest revenue contributor

    I own it. It's one of many energy companies I'm long in.

    Carl Icahn owns 10% of it, and he usually makes the companies he owns make more $. He even went so far as to have the founder fired and have several of the board members replaced last year.

    Yeah Right JR Ewing because Carl Icahn is a great mind to cover all companies they own
