| I bought CHK and also picked up some GM for $2/share. I like chk much better though with a P/E of 4. This stock was selling for over 70 within the last year. It currently trades for about 15. I just think this stock has been unwarrantly slammed. | |

The CEO was buying his own stock on margin, and when it started to go down, he got margin called and totally wipped out. He was forced to sell tens of millions of shares | |
