Texas oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens said on Tuesday he has increased his long oil and natural gas position in recent weeks.
NEW YORK — “It’s not my personality to be short,” said the billionaire who has made his fortune investing in the oil sector.
Oil prices are likely to be around $75 a barrel by the end of 2009 and $85 by the end of 2010, Pickens said, but added that an economic recovery could boost prices much higher.
