Thursday, January 29, 2009
Proceeds will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters
From the Dallas Morning News:
If you've ever wanted to dine with T. Boone Pickens, now's your chance.
The billionaire will auction himself off on eBay, and the money goes to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Bidding begins at $100,000.
The winner gets to bring seven friends for lunch at Nick & Sam's in Dallas with the legendary oilman, hedge fund operator, philanthropist and - most recently - energy policy developer.
Pickens launched an advertising campaign last year urging lawmakers to cut oil imports by boosting incentives for wind power and natural gas vehicles. Pickens invests in those industries.
The auction starts at 5 p.m. Monday and ends at 5 p.m. Feb. 12. Bidding takes place at www.ebay.com/pickens. Bidders must pre-qualify on eBay.
The winner might want to jot down Pickens' investment suggestions. Nearly every time he publicly predicts oil prices, the market moves that direction within hours.
