Is It Time to Buy This Energy Leader?

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which analyst John Reeves and advisor David Meier discuss topics across the investing world.

With Chesapeake Energy's stock falling, investors might be asking if now is a good time to pick up some shares on the cheap. David thinks the answer is "no." Even though, Chesapeake is doing a lot of smart things, it's just not a good time to buy shares of this company. Instead, David thinks both SandRidge Energy and Denbury Resources might be worth a look from investors looking for energy stocks.

Energy stocks, like the ones mentioned in the video, offer something for all types of investors. Some companies rise and fall with oil prices, while others provide more steady returns over the long haul. The Motley Fool has identified a company that will prosper for years to come.
