Pickens sees 100 Dollar Oil in 2010

Saturday, October 10, 2009

T. Boone Pickens said this week that oil prices will rise above 100 a barrel by the end of 2010 as the global economy recovers.

"Oil prices in the 40 a barrel range are not going to be around much longer,” Pickens told a gathering at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University in Houston.

By late 2010, Pickens sees a rebound in oil demand sparked by a global recovery, pushing prices higher. If the U.S. continues to rely on imported oil for 70 percent or more of its supply, prices could reach $200-$300 per barrel in another decade, Pickens said.

As an investor, Pickens said he remains “on the sidelines,” with just 10 percent of his BP Capital hedge fund invested in energy. The fund lost $2 billion last year before shifting to cash as energy prices and stocks declined.

Can Boone get his "touch" back this year?
