Background on PTJ and this video....

 

 

One of Jones' earliest and major successes was predicting Black Monday in 1987, tripling his money during the event due to large short positions.[5]

Jones uses a global macro strategy when trading in some of his funds. This strategy can be seen in the 1987 PBS film "TRADER: The Documentary". [6] The film shows Mr. Jones as a young man predicting the 1987 crash using methods similar to market forecaster Robert Prechter.

Although the video was shown on public television in November 1987, very few copies exist. Those that do are hoarded by traders who watch the hourlong movie in the hope of gleaning possible trading tips from Jones. On the Internet, bids for the video start at $295. According to Michael Glyn, the video’s director, Jones requested in the 1990s that the documentary be removed from circulation. [7] The video surfaced briefly on YouTube at the end of July 2009, before being taken down due to alleged copyright violation.[1] Jones' firm currently manages $17.7 billion (as of June 1, 2007). Their investment capabilities are broad and diverse, including global macro trading, fundamental equity investing in the U.S. and Europe, emerging markets, venture capital, commodities, event driven strategies and technical trading systems

I had some professional dealings with Paul back then, in fact well before the video. I remember him telling me one day, "xxxxxx, I've got $6 million under management, including my grandmother's money. I'm going to treat it well." I'm betting his grandmother was happy with his performance.

Worst business decison I ever made was not begging him to be the coffee boy in his office, which at the time had about four people. He was a very likeable fellow.

When this film appeared on TV, I recorded it, and often watch it from time to time, though I haven't looked at it in years, partly because it's on tape and I've tossed most of my tape players.

This film looks like it was taken in Spring 1987 seeing Peter and him in overcoats turning the corner at Brooks Brothers at One Liberty.
I remember several times seeing a sport Mercedes SL with driver waiting in front of his office at 160 Broadway. Since he was from Hutton, my easy guess is that it was he with the license plate "EFWHO". I forgot Burger Heaven, it morphed into a high-toned McDo.
A very special guy who never forgot where he came from.
I hope you made that coffee boy decision-tuition pay.

I think he was a little embarrassed about the white hightops he laced up to turn a bad trade around. They were pretty sweet though. Picked them up at a Bruce Willis celeb auction I guess and was pretty proud of them. That or his longer term forecast of three digit djia though the 90's or so.

The .torrent file is simply a roadmap to a group of people sharing this file among themselves. You need a bittorrent client program such as uTorrent. Download and install uTorrent, then use uTorrent to open the file (and thus begin the download) you have downloaded from this blog.

Depending on your network speed you should be able to complete the download in anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.

What I would have loved to see is how PTJ reacted in the aftermath of the crash, when the market didn't follow through to the downside. He obviously adjusted accordingly and came through a winner, but man, Holy decimated thesis, Batman!

Instead of getting the flush we needed, credit took off into no-man's land. If we already had the conditions necessary for a depression back then, what on earth are we facing now?

Wed, 07/29/2009 - 08:50 | 18027 Danz Gambit
Danz Gambit's picture

yeah, I was wondering about that too. his partner was expecticting a BIG move to the downside; Dow<500 in March of 87; not sure how, or if, that relates to now

 

Wed, 07/29/2009 - 09:07 | 18044 Anonymous
Anonymous's picture

Peter Bourish said if he had to put a date on the crash, it would be late March '88, followed by a rebound, then DOw 500 by 1991. PTJ said he was expecting something like 7 years of pain, but seemed to accept that it was necessary.

Some say that Greenspan averted the depression by extending extra credit, and that is certainly true to some extent, but the banks were willing to lend and people were willing and able to carry more debt, even though conservatively speaking they should not have taken it on.

Now we are beyond the point to no return: max debt saturation. You can lead a man to the bank, but you can't make him borrow.

You guys can put a video server to stream something like this. http://osflash.org/red5 ,open sourced, secure, no seat licenses, easy to configure and run. It's the free version of the Adobe(Macromedia) FlashCommServer.

Red5 does mp3 also if you want to publish a live streaming radio station broadcast in-house.

Wow, those trading scenes at the beginning brought back memories. That was the floor of my first home, the New York Futures Exchange at 30 Broad Street, next to the NYSE. (We later moved to the floor of the Cotton Exchange at the World Trade Center.)

I liked how they spliced footage of PTJ selling 540 at the market with footage of his broker, Mike (his badge was LBY and we called him "Libby"), buying them.

We later "stole" PTJ's business from Libby because we were significantly better brokers, with better clerks and a better booth location. (You saw how far Libby's clerk had to run. We were only ten feet from the pit.)

One classic moment: I was on the phone with Paul and had our other broker buy 300 for him. Once I told Paul he was filled he said, "Let's gas this fucker. A quarter bid on 5,000!" The market was 10 bid at 15 at the moment.

I knew he didn't really want to own any more, so I yelled the order to our other broker loud enough for the entire floor to hear me. It instantly 30 bid, then 35 bid, and Paul said to cancel. It never looked back.

Another time they said, "Offer 50 lots every tick up."

Until when?

"Until we tell you to stop."

Great stuff, thanks for uploading this. I have an old VHS tape, but I don't know if it even works and I have no player.

Well, one thing we can say about Marla, is when she's bad, she's very bad!  When are you spinning next?

I tried the zshare link and the video doesn't seem to play. Is it me or is it down?

Thanks a bunch Marla. I mean you guys never cease to amaze me. Irreverent, non-conformist and unconventional stuff like this makes y'all the best there is. Keep it up.
