Motley Fool reports that Icahn is seeking a $26 billion valuation for CHK. That's close to $40/share. Based on Carl's track record, I'm holding on to my stock until he cashes out. And, Motley overlooked some potential buyers among CHK's existing joint venture partners - these partners know exactly what portions of CHK are worth and may therefore be willing to pay Carl's premium.
Our debt exceeds $13 billion and we still come up short on capital funding...plus we are getting hosed on our deals to sell now. Will be chop shopped until all that is left is the bad parts with the debt. We might see end of 2014 but no way we make it much further than that...2-3 more major sales and light the fuse....
Absolutely! Look around, the writing is on the wall. Doug is not a builder or a creator, he doesn't have the talent, experience or ingenuity to ever build something great like Aubrey or Tom or Harold or Larry did. Doug is nothing but a corporate janitor. He is being paid to clean up a mess and that is where his talent lies. Doug and the BoD are nothing but puppets of Carl Ichan and Mason Hawkins.
