Reads as if everyone agrees there is more downside to this company.  Found this on Seeking Alpha (don't think it's been posted here yet)   http://seekingalpha.com/article/587801-chesapeake-energy-corporatio...

It's a link to the transcript of a conference call dated May 14, 2012 at 8:30 am.  The call included McClendon, Dell'Osso (CFO of CHK), Jeffrey Mobley (Sr. VP, CHK) and 15 analysts from various companies to discuss CHK's assets sales and most recent 10Q.   It's rather lengthy and I haven't had a chance to review it yet.

so I actually read this -- 18 pages!!  Much of which is McClendon chatting up CHK and his decisions.  McClendon claims assets are worth $50-60 billion..  Also, McClendon says he is counting on his oil holdings to prop him up -- guess what?  oil hit the lowest price it  has been in 6 months.  (Some of the blame is being placed on the Greece debacle... but c'mon... summer time is just about here, even in North Central PA.   So wouldn't you guess that the price of oil will go down for a few months anyway? )  Meanwhile, McClendon has all  his rigs pumping oil and today gas futures are up.  I'm beginning to think this guy can't win for losing.   Maybe Midas has lost his touch??  And the news is that Icahn buying into CHK is bs  or at best is unconfirmed.
