RE: If you follow boone pickensOn the other side of the ledger, Pickens has distinguised himself as a visionary whose vision usually involves him making a big chunk of moolaah based on opm (other people's money). A lot of people who followed Pickens ended up picken themselves up at the bottom of a precipice a lot poorer, bruised and battered - that so whether it was oil, water, wind power or natural gas. Careful if you follow Pickens.
