Re: CHK never sees a dollar it doesn't want to borrow

""Institutional (unsecured) loans increased to $4B, those are bridge loans while CHK sells assets,""

"unsecured"...but they took out their LOC (""which Chesapeake will use to repay a secured revolving credit line"" ) So it puts them right up front and since it is "unsecured" allows them to charge usery rates.

The bridge loan was not 3 times over-subscribed for nothing....It puts the banks in the bridge loan in the catbird seat to make CHK dance and milk fees when they don't make these aggressive schedules.

I watched Correction Corp of America bankers go up 5 TIMES to 11% on their LOC's ($1.1B!!)and bridge loans until the company was on the ropes thanks to aggressive pay off schedules. Bought the $25 preferred for $3...
