Pickens Loses $1 Billion on Oil Bets

Pickens

As a former Cities Service Oil Co. Employee, it is hard for me to have much compassion for Pickens. He ruined that wonderful company in the late 70's and interupted the lives of many solid hard working employees with his takeover and subsequent tearing apart and selling piece mill. Pickens will survive. All rogue's do.
