'I used to be his banker when he was CEO of Mesa and watched him drive Mesa into the ground with an ego that was dramatically larger than his brain size.' Damn! I'm impressed. Bet you got some really interesting stories to tell. Here's a couple cyber martini's- now start talking <vbg> Ron

I agree with you that Boone was wrong with Mesa,( actually, VERY early with his natty call and created horrible results for Mesa). Boone admits his past mistakes and timing. But, I give him credit for having learned from "hard knocks", but is true to his convictions. I admire his hard work ethics and putting his money where his mouth is even if he's wrong. He was NOT the only person who was short at $100 oil, but it didn't take him long to "look @ a horseshoe" either. I admire anyone who can buck the oil business as long as Boone has and be where he is today with a PLAN! I also believe he is a wiser old man as we who have lived it all are. Knowing what the 'Powers to Be' and where in the f*#k they want the PUCK to be is the bigger problem. lol
