You could have bought at $12/share last week, up to $62 today with news of an OPEC deal.

All oil & gas stocks have been up since that scare a few weeks ago. When they finally started cutting production, supply started to level out and demand picked up with the COVID restrictions starting to get loosened. My oil & gas stocks are up 80% in the past month.

Creditors will keep them afloat. Too much money to lose.

I can’t speak to why chk is up like it is over the last few days, but I got in at a very low price, so a couple more days like this and I’m out.

All of my energy and oil stocks are doing well, but I bought them when all the bad news and $0 per barrel was going on. Transportation, casinos and airlines are all coming around for the long term.

Some of the tech and bio lottery tickets are sputtering, but that's not the meat and potatoes stuff.

Must have been a massive short squeeze, otherwise it makes no sense. Bankruptcy is inevitable and will likely happen in next few weeks.

Announced after close today .......
Bankruptcy is now a great 10 - 20 x within days. No longer are bankrupt companies considered poorly run and dead. Giving all the assets to senior lenders and defaulting on your bonds is Bullish. If Enron was still around, their stock would be worth thousands instead of zero.

Go back and count how many times it was reported for this company the last 5 years. This stock continues to be manipulated. They aren’t going into BK.

Not sure what’s dumber retailers bidding up a soon to be bk Chk or already bk htz and wll. Today was clear evidence the market has been overrun by retail noobs that are together creating their own fomo bubble.

Chesapeake Energy Corp. is preparing a potential bankruptcy filing that could hand control of one of the leading lights of the U.S. shale revolution to senior lenders, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The dwindling options for a powerhouse that once rivaled Exxon Mobil Corp. for title of king of American natural gas comes after Chief Executive Officer Doug Lawler’s 7-year effort to untangle the financial and legal legacies of Chesapeake’s late founder, Aubrey McClendon.

Lawler’s denouement, in turn, would signal the deep peril facing a shale industry largely built according to McClendon’s blueprint for Chesapeake: amassing incredible debts to pursue aggressive drilling programs that ultimately unearthed too little treasure to reward investors.

Gordon Pennoyer, a spokesman for Chesapeake, declined to comment. The talks with lenders come almost seven years to the date that Lawler assumed the helm at the Oklahoma City-based company at the behest of Carl Icahn and O. Mason Hawkins, at the time two of the driller’s biggest investors.

You are kidding yourself if you don't think BK is coming. It's taking forever to be announced given the complex negotiations with the lenders and other debt holders. They can barely make interest payments right now (in sub $50 oil and $2 gas) given $9B+ of debt plus they also have looming debt maturities coming - ~$175M in August and $75M in November 2020 (and another $150M in February 2021). They don't have the ability to access debt markets and keep kicking the can like they have been. 100% of the equity will be wiped when they restructure. Net asset value is well under $9B in the current price environment imo. Had COVID/downturn not happened they may have been able to stave off BK another 6 months.

More like the next few days, if not hours. Plummeted after hours. Shorts got squeezed and Robinhood investors are going to wish they had taken profits like everyone else is doing.

Wonder if this puts the other oil stocks in reverse. It will definitely slow them down and may put the brakes on.

Algorithms and bots got ahold of this in the last two days and crushed the shorts. They are making people a lot of money right now. The same Algos that everyone was complaining about so much for driving the markets down so rapidly.
