Boone Pickens Still Long On Crude Oil And Natural Gas
T. Boone Pickens, Jr., appeared on CNBC this morning. The CEO of BP Capital told CNBC’s Becky Quick that he is still long on crude oil and natural gas.
CNBC: When we talked to you last, you were long on crude oil, and you were long on natural gas too, I believe. We’ve seen a really big turnaround. Did you- I know you said that when it turned, it was going to turn fast- but, did you anticipate that turn before, or did you change your positions?
PICKENS: My positions are not as big as they were, but I’m still long.
CNBC: You’re still long oil, so you’re still thinking it goes up from here?
PICKENS: Well, I don’t know, I think you could still pull back some.
