Carl Icahn Says Buy Chesapeake Energy Before Natural Gas Prices Soar ($CHK, $RRC)
Our readers have long known our bullish stance on oil but we have not discussed much about what we think natural gas is capable of. Due to the introduction of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, companies in the U.S. were able to extract gas from these shale formations at lower costs, increasing their profitability as well as the supply of natural gas available in the domestic market.
The increased supply of natural gas in the domestic market has decreased the fuel’s price by more than 40% in the past one year.
The question is it time to buy natural gas stocks again? We recommend you consider 2, $CHK and $RRC.
Carl Icahn tells CNBC that natural gas prices will rebound, and Chesapeake (CHK+1.1%) is poised to benefit: “Aubrey [McClendon] is a very bright guy and he’s put a lot of great assets together… Now they have to cut expenses, but I think they can.” On CHK’s board shakeup, which he helped to instigate: ”The shareholders control the company now.” Source

The natural gas glut crushed the coal stocks, and thus they provide the opportunity as supply is rationalized…
I would tend to agree with you JJ. I am very bullish on natural gas opportunities and our group did very well when natural gas bottomed out in April. $UNG was a big winner for us among others. They say to buy when others are selling so I agree with your opportunity opinion.
We see natural gas as the play of a lifetime, but the time frame may be the same thing. A life time. We have been adding to our CHK position.
