can you please put it on megaupload or rapidshare?
I sit on a 100mb pipe and will leave it running overnight. Throttling turned off. Leech away.
just learn to use bittorrent.
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
thank you thank you....i had no idea what the
fuss over ths was until reading your precis.
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.
Thank you all - huge win with this one.
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.
also putting this on youku.com or some other abroad video site would be awesome and really appreciated.
D-I-Y and say thank you dammit!
Thanks!
mpeg or quicktime ?

Don't forget to protect your IP addy - http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/

Lucas Van Praag To DO List!
That's hilarious.
Perfect
I am unfamiliar with teh history of this video. Was there an attempt by PTJ to bury it? Is there anything in there that he doesn't want exposed?
Yeah, there's a scene where he's drinking a Bud Heavy. Pretty embarrassing shit, even by 1986 standards.
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.
Can someone seed it please!!!
i knew somebody out there recorded that video!! yay:)
We need a seed, I will seed at fast speeds once I get it!
can't open the file help
i used utorrent to open and download it
spyware free
is it downloading for anyone? there are no seeders for me.
Have you fully downloaded it?
no one is seeding this torrent
are anyone getting seeders?
Torrent file?! OhMy! Is it legal? You 'guys' have to make this more like ET or TMZ during afterhours. Show the Britney, MJ, The Baldwin bros.. of the financial world of course, whatsayyou?
Instead of watchboy doing stories on the latest Breitling send him to the 4seasons to snap a few photos of Carl Icon and report on who he has bent over tonight. Maybe follow him to his hideaway in Bedford Hills and snap some seedy shots of him with his latest boy toy...
Oh my captcha is kinda naughty too! ( 30 minus (-39) equals )
nope
A Seed has arrived!
speeds just picked up for me
Sorry guys, I had to find a higher speed connection
Enjoy,
Comfortably Smug
many thanks
can somebody up it to rapidshare?
I'll up this to RS as soon as I can
Outstanding, thank you very much and to Marla as well!
CS, I for one thank you for doing this.
CR = Home for smart bloggers
ZH = Home for lunatic nuts
You don't see you lunatic nuts on your precious CR do you? Enjoy your life in your "sophisticated" ivory tower that tolerates no dissent.
What's CR?
Calculated Risk
When I click on this I only get a 45.3 Kb file. How do you use bittorrent?
download uTorrent. welcome to the internet.
Thanks, this is my first torrent. I actually have "Trader" on VHS tape, recorded off a PBS station in New York when it originally aired. But I no longer have a VCR and don't know if the tape is playable.
If you have fast cash pawn stores and more than 16 african immigrants in your town, find a place that does VHS and PAL to DVD.
ask your mommy to help
Love it when it comes together...ZH rocks...
So what's going on with all the attacks from Calculated Risk readers? I don't recall ZH make any mention, much less negative comments, about Calculated Risk.
Where all others let me down, you came through. Thanks, Marla.
56% ill seed when its in \0/ thanks again
america, fuck yeah!
ameriDMca, fuck yeah!
Oh yea I feel like I'm Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity. F'in yea Marpla Singer is a tough guy!

It's amazing the lengths you'll go to to harvest IP addresses. LoL....
Good working with ya to figure out how to best get this file to zerohedge
Looking forward to helping out when I can in the future

600+kb/sec, well over 100 seeders now... If you have a decent connection you should have this in <10mins
Is this the same thing that's on youtube?
As soon as I finish dling Anal Latex Whores 2 I'm definitely gonna get this.
Glad to see you have your priorities straight.
*Sigh*
I love you, Marla.
Sincerely,
GBooth
Thanks Marla
I only watched it on youtube this morning and then poof ... it was gone
audio only? what are you guys watching this on?
nevermind had to download updated codec.
How do you download the updated codec?
kkkjk
How do i open/play this?
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.
Why not post something interesting like William Shatner reading Sarah Palins farewell speech in beat poetry.

jus sayin....
Do I need to play it twice to get my 120mins?
@17749
Damn Mac wanks!
Get a vlc player or something!
yeah i only see 55min, not 120?
The complete documentary has a runtime of 55 minutes
I was a bit torrent virgin. TYVM for popping my cherry. PTJ is the best! it's about twice as fast as FFvideo, which is fair since this is financial pornography
awesome!
Very cool video. Oh for the days when one made the leap from charting by hand to the XT pc.
deleted
166 seeds, awesome.
good shit!!
Downloaded but no audio and no video. What do I need to do??
Download a better movie player like VLC
http://www.videolan.org/
or get the proper codec for the one you're using now.
Yep, love VLC.
Cheers Marla
Wow, enjoyed that one. Thanks so much.
downloaded in matter of minutes. thanks
ps. its supposed to be 50+ minutes, right (due to commercials cut out, etc)?
thanks
Here is a new link for the vid:
http://www.zshare.net/video/633213030ccaac6b/
Get Vuze and VLC. I´m only getting 55min not 120!?
Here is another link:
[Elided: Viruses. -Marla]
#17986 gives you the video and a bunch of viruses
Fantastic video, thanks.
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?
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
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.
@17996
Get firefox and VLC, I had no problems on Vista.
Tudou is the second largest video sharing site in China.
can anyone find the torrent for PBS special from Danial Yergin's book The Prize next lol its over 200$ on Ebay for ahem sealed VHS tapes! Great find thanks!
The torrent is right here:
http://thepiratebay.org/user/mapleleaf111/
I found the rapidshare links for this 8 part series, but I won't post them here, I kinda doubt ZH wants us to turn this into a file sharing network
Thanks for feeding PTJ's legal team the info. I am sure they are grateful to all the good people on this site.
That's the beauty of torrents, they are decentralized. Even if thepiratebay tracker removes it, it can easily be uploaded to another offshore tracker with a lot less scrutiny and still land on major torrent indexing sites like mininova and isohunt.
Anyone got the 2000 TV-serie "Bull" (2 seasons)?
http://www.hsd-capital.com/
If you admit to possessing same it's an instant ban from the site.
How do you get the video to play? Just getting audio in windows media player...
Marla,
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.
i'll keep it up overnight too.
Excellent, thanks.
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.
I would've been pissed if I paid $300 on ebay for this
Mr. Clifford, good luck stopping the whole torrent thing.
here is the new zshare link:
http://www.zshare.net/video/63460181316d3cc8/
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.
