With a plan for reducing US oil dependency. It’s never too late to top your personal best. Now eighty years old, T. Boone Pickens is a legendary figure in the business world. Known as the “Oracle of Oil” because of his uncanny ability to predict the direction of fuel prices, he built Mesa Petroleum, one of the largest independent oil companies in the United States, from a $2,500 investment. In the 1980s, Pickens became a household name when he executed a series of unsolicited buyout bids for undervalued oil companies.

Book is OK-good for business-proud on personal
Revisado: 08-26-10
I recommend book strictly on business information and Natural Gas/Oil Business shared. It seemed from Mr. Pickens tone that he was a little out of touch with his pride and staying grounded. It was disappointing to hear him brag about all of the great accomplishments, and never mention much about family, but rather lose more sleep over his dog. Boone is not a bad guy, but he is definitly proud, but has alot to be proud of!
