Paul Tudor Jones - The Man Who Beat Black Monday 1987 | Documentary

A Paul Tudor Jones documentary. Paul Tudor Jones and Black Monday 1987: how one trader was positioned for the worst day in Dow history, and why his fund finished October 1987 up about 62 percent. An investing documentary about the mechanism behind the trade, not the legend around it. This Paul Tudor Jones documentary follows him from the cotton pits to October 19, 1987: a map (an analog chart laying the 1980s market over the years before 1929), a machine (portfolio insurance selling futures into its own decline), and an exit (covering the short at the close and buying bonds before the Federal Reserve promised liquidity). About the famous number: The New York Times reported that Paul Tudor Jones earned an estimated $100 million in 1987 by betting on a crash. That is an estimate for the full year, not a single day.
