皮肯斯和他的同盟者有着相同理念,他们都认为石油是稀缺资源,未来会越来越少。这几乎人人都知道的长远投资策略,却被他们异化成了紧迫的短期行为。他们通过事件炒作,不断放大自己的这一理念。他们把油价和墨西哥湾飓风、美国大选等任何扯得上关系的事件都列入了自己炒作范畴,最终使得人们相信,能源危机就要来了,油价就要涨了 Pickens and his allies share the same philosophy that they all consider oil a scarce resource and less and less in the future. Almost everyone knows the long-term investment strategy, alienated them into urgent short-term behavior. Through the speculation of the incident, they constantly magnified their own ideas. They put their oil prices and any hurdles such as the hurricanes of the Gulf of Mexico and the U.S. presidential election into their own speculative categories. Eventually, people believe that the energy crisis is coming and oil prices will rise.
