Chesapeake Energy: Spells natural gas

FULL ARTICLE and GRAPHS

My definition of an expert is a person who knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing at all.  T. Boone Pickens is the guy I consider a expert when it comes to the narrow field of Texas oil and gas.   He is the guy who said there were 2 ways for the US to become energy independent in energy production and he is putting a lot of money on both wind and natural gas.  You cannot turn on a TV discussion about natural gas without hearing them mention Chesapeake Energy (CHK) and right now it's selling a a 19.86 discount to its recent high.

Barchart technical indicators:

  • Short term sell indicators can signal when a stock is selling at a discount
  • Barchart 32% technical sell signal
  • Trend Spotter sell signal
  • Trading below its 20, 50 and 100 day moving average
  • Has lost 19.86% from its 52 week high
  • Relative Strength Index 40.76% and still falling
  • Barchart computes a technical support level at 27.18
  • Recently selling around 28.59 which is below its 50 day moving average of 30.81

    Summary: If you agree with T Boone Pickens that natural gas is the answer for US energy independence then it should be hard not to pick up a few shares of Chesapeake Energy (CHK) that is selling at a 19.86% discount to its recent high.  If the sales and earnings projections come in and the stock begins to trade at a more normal P/E ration investors could see a 9% - 11% annual compounded total return over the next 5 year period if you acquire at today's prices.
