I have $3,300 in my Roth. Would anyone buy CHK right now?

$3,300


If that is all you hvae for retirement you need to stick to less risky plays.

Wait for now. If it gets a small boost and looks like it might squeeze, go in.

$3,300 might get you majority ownership at this point.

No...probably just as good of a chance for it to go out of business as it is to make it through

I say sit back and watch them burn. And laugh. Don't forget the laughing part.

Thanks for your input, boss. But no, that is not all I have for my retirement. I would have specified if so.

For some of you with sarcastic responses:

Because it is a Roth, I would love an opportunity for great tax-free growth and was wondering if this would be a good buy when it is this low.

This isn't the OT...I would expect to have a legit discussion.

No. Much safer plays available that will double your money.

I would look at any of the majors before Chesapeake. They are in the red big time and may not be able to pay off their debt if prices remain low over time. McClendon made himself a very rich man while screwing over his company. By all accounts, he is worthy of jail time.

Just my two cents that CHK will not survive this oil crunch without a bankruptcy reorganization.

Why not just dump it in something like BP that is down pretty big but should withstand the storm for awhile?

I'm in agreement with pretty much everyone here. Worked on some of their loans several years back when they were over leveraging with $100 barrel oil

If you want to take a huge risk put it all in an oil etf, like USO.
