  By Joshua Bondy - June 18, 2013 | Tickers: CHK, XOM, TWC, UNP |

  Searching for a good dividend stock is straight forward, but it can be easy to gloss over deeper problems. Many people look at a few basic metrics like the dividend yield, the dividend payout ratio and the revenue growth rate, and then create a dividend portfolio.

  In May, billionaire Steve Cohen’s SAC Capital Advisors filed its 13F with the SEC, disclosing many of its long equity positions in U.S. stocks as of the end of Q1 2013.

  By Mike Thiessen - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: APC, BP, CHK, IEP

  Although Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) has endured a rough two-year period that has seen its shares under-perform the broader market by a significant margin, the company is widely regarded as one of the mid-continent's stronger natural gas players. Its relative strength has certainly endeared it to activist investor Carl Icahn: The stock maven's Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ: IEP) now owns about 10 percent of Chesapeake's total share float more »

• Investing in Small Energy Companies Is Dangerous

  By Joshua Bondy - June 7, 2013 | Tickers: CHK, XOM, SD, SDR, SDT

  Modern finance explains that investors are compensated for increased risk with a possible increase in returns. A look at the small upstream firm SandRidge Energy (NYSE: SD) shows just how true this is. SandRidge's CEO, Tom Ward, had a number of side interests that potentially conflicted with SandRidge.

• Three Reasons to Own Anadarko Petroleum

  By Zachary Scheidt - June 6, 2013 | Tickers: APC, CHK, XOM |

  By Robert Zimmerman - May 31, 2013 | Tickers: CHK, KOG, SD

  A few months ago, I criticized three oil and gas companies that should have rewarded their investors, but didn’t. Their first quarter earnings reports have since come and gone, the market has hit new highs, and solar flares have increased. Have any of these impacted the sorry trio of Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK), SandRidge Energy (NYSE: SD), or Kodiak Oil and Gas (NYSE: KOG)?
