Call to the Floor: Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon

Shares of Chesapeake popped on Wednesday, with investors excited by talk of the company's future.

Specifically, Chesapeake said it is mulling ways to wring value from its oilfield service operations and is entertaining ways to unlock value in its rig, trucking and compression businesses.

In addition, Chesapeake, has promised to reduce debt and slow spending this year and next, moves some speculate may have been sparked by Carl Icahn.
