    Chesapeake Energy is currently trading at a one year forward price to earnings multiple that is lower than its major competitors Anadarko Petroleum and Exxon Mobil.

    Chesapeake Energy initiated a massive layoff scheme under Lawler, cutting nearly 10% of the total workforce, and emerged leaner and more efficient

    He's got a great mind for investing - particularly "activist investing", which used to also be called less flattering names such as "corporate raider" and "green mailer". He's averaged 30+ % over 50+ years, and turned $100k into roughly $25 billion during this time. He admits he's not a manager - he's a hellraiser who usually makes a killing just about every time he invests in a company.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see him force themselves to put themselves up for sale eventually - he's made billions for himself and many billions for shareholders doing such things, along with getting inept management and board members replaced, forcing spinoffs, asset sales, etc.

    He's probably never personally taken a core sample from a well or traded a single lease, but my guess is that he certainly knows more about the oil business and Chesapeake from an investor's point of view than anyone here, myself included. The fact that he has over 5% interest and board seats alone likely makes him privy to certain things about the company that may not be public. Other money managers respect him, and pretty much all public company CEOs and board members who don't own a majority stake in their companies fear him.

    Personally, I'll always put my money on a self-made billionaire knowing his craft over anyone on any message board. :D
