When you look at a commodities market you need hedgers and speculators. If you don't have one, you don't have a market. That's how it works.

Don't get the idea that I've turned green. My business is making money, and I think this is going to make a lot of money.

If you can provide the funding and you get the leadership, you'll have a competitive team.

I do believe that oil production globally has peaked at 85 million barrels. And I've been very vocal about it. And what happens? The demand continues to rise. The only way you can possibly kill demand is with price. So the price of oil, gasoline, has to go up to kill the demand. Otherwise, keep the price down, the demand rises.

To me, emails are a little bit frustrating. I think that the telephone is much preferred because you get the sound of the voice and the interest and everything else you can't see in an email.

There is no free market for oil.

If somebody I don't like gets in the crosshairs, I pull the trigger. But I don't hunt for them.
