CHK - energy stocks remain under severe pressure

With US equities ending the day on another particularly weak note, the energy stocks were especially hit. Chesapeake (CHK) settled lower by a significant -5.8% @ $17.86. Next key support is around $12, the low from summer 2012.

Summary

*I remain a fan of CHK (and energy as a whole), but it looks headed for the low teens, not least if the main equity market falls into the sp'1700s before year end.

The past few weeks have been brutal for CHK, and today's daily close is the lowest level since summer 2013.
