Great Post, Ray. I was hoping this would not fall under the radar. This is a disappointing report from a company that I think has a lot of potential. CHK has had a rough week, and these sort of PR hurdles are difficult to overcome with just production.
Been following your blog for a while man, it's been a great addition to my newsfeed. Keep it up, hope to keep in touch. all the best
Great point Rajiv. We did not sell our position in CHK this week like so many have but we have not added to it either. Feel like betting against CHK is like betting against nat gas and we won't be doing that. People that say it's early to enter natural gas right now are the same people that won't have positions in it 10 years from now and they will miss one of the biggest moves in energy in a century.
