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

 

Chesapeake stock yields 1.37% of its price in dividends. Dividends paid to investors have increased at an average annual rate of 5.27% over the last three years.

 

I would have to suggest you more company like CHK - XOM, BP, HAL, COP, DVN to investing you in oil company

 

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