In 2008, Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) looked like a winning bet. Oil prices hit record highs, natural gas prices spiked to near-record levels, and CHK stock was flying high, punching past $65 that summer.

Beleaguered oil and gas firm Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) is again generating headlines for the wrong reasons. Recently, a Reuters report revealed that the daughter of a worker who was tragically killed in an oil-well explosion sued Chesapeake and three other organizations, claiming in part an unsafe work environment.

The bull move in Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock has been impressive. Just a year ago, the prospects for the company looked far from promising.
