Quotes:

Pickens, a long-time backer of companies operating in Canada's oil sands, said he's been buying shares of oil-sands miner Suncor Energy Inc. (SU.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) (SU.N: Quote, Profile, Research) as that company's stock price slipped in recent weeks along with those other energy companies.
