International Corp. As of 06/30/2012, Icahn Capital Management LP

Energy stock has lost more than 40% over the past 12 months as
investors questioned the corporate governance and the CEO
compensation of the company.

was saying that the
board of the Chesapeake was "just sitting
there
." He has urged for a change with the company and warned that
he's prepared to take immediate action if the company does not
respond to his requests. Chesapeake Energy CEO Aubrey McClendon
recently bought shares. But as
we write before
, don't take that as a sign that the company stock will go up.
