In the securities market it refers to a process by which the buyer of securities, whose seller fails to deliver the securities contracted for, can 'buy in' the securities from a third party with the defaulting seller to make good. the energy sector has picked up markedly after the recent correction. One of Adamo and his team's alternate picks, Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK), continues to be the leader. Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Aubrey McClendon Aubrey Kerr McClendon is the chief executive officer, chairman, and co-founder of Chesapeake Energy.

He bought tons last year, as well. The slight Insider selling in the company shows no signs of accelerating, and is dwarfed by multiple large purchases. It's no wonder Insiders love Chesapeake. In one of the most perspicacious per·spi·ca·cious adj. Having or showing penetrating mental discernment; clear-sighted. See Synonyms at shrewd. [From Latin perspic and well-timed moves Adamo has seen in ages, the company locked in prices for 70% of its 2006 natural gas production at $9.43 per mcf. That's 52% above current spot prices, and 37% above the company's 2005 average price. Chesapeake gets the vast majority of its revenues from gas; so, regardless of what energy prices do, the company will be minting money this year. There's been substantial Insider buying of other energy stocks lately too, but Adamo hasn't had a chance to analyze the companies yet; so, he won't name them. But he may have another pick within a few weeks for those who are still under-invested in the sector. Meanwhile, besides Chesapeake, Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) and Apache Corporation (NYSE:APA) are within their buy ranges.
