Just dropping this here for anyone interested.
PBS's 1987 documenatry "Trader":
vimeo-com/60057485
In 1987 PBS released a documentary called 'Trader' featuring legendary hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones and his firm Tudor Investments.
But the film was never given a chance to catch on. PTJ hated it, and bought up almost all the copies of the film as soon as he could. Every now and again a copy surfaces online (like yesterday — it's already down) but the question generally remains — why did PTJ hate the movie so much?
At the time it was made, the market was shooting up but PTJ and his team were (correctly) calling a crash to come. In the film, they also show a lot of care for managing risk and taking care of their clients. There's even a look into the awesome charity work that PTJ does with kids in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
Some speculate that PTJ felt that his trading secrets were revealed in the documentary. Others suggest that he was embarrassed of how he looked while he was trading.
Regardless, there's never been an official answer to this question so there's always room for more theories as to why PTJ killed this documentary, here are some of ours.

Thanks for the link.
However, on his good predictions... he predicted the DOW to be under 500 in 1991. It was at 3000. He predicted the DOW to be at 3000 in 1986/1987 and it was at 2600

The story is PTJ wants to buy up all "Trader" documentaries made of him or get them off the internet.
PTJ says TA made him half the money he has. FA made the other half.

Some traders I know say that there are pictures of certain women in the background that he forgot to remove before the taping of the documentary. Who knows?
