Trader: The Documentary, which Jones requested be pulled out of circulation at some point in the 90s (and bought up all the remaining copies he could find), is now available in 7 parts on YouTube. Take the next hour to watch a 32 year old PTJ get psyched over a $5 million day, chill with a huge turkey who he think of as a pet dog, discuss his start as “a glorified secretary,” trade while kicking back with some Buds, use a huge ass cell phone and put it out there that “if I make the mark I want to make, I’ll stop, I’ll retire.” (No word on whether he’s yet to achieve that mark or if it had to be reset when he decided to start funding the greatest show on earth, which will cost you.)

ptj is the man

@13 his entire body was shaking.

Bess: The mark resets every time you hit it.
such a playboy.
@ 7 – don’t forget he’s drinking the bud at the crack of dawn
Drinking and trading? Was that filmed in ML’s London office?
@23 like 4am, even better.
BREAKING NEWS:
UPDATE: The White House has revealed what beer will be served at the much-anticipated meeting later this week: Bud for the president and Blue Moon for Crowley. The Boston Globe reports Gates likes Red Stripe and Beck’s.
@24 the difference is that unlike the pussies in london, ptj is a southern boy who can hold his liquor.
@9 false. who are you?
@9 what are you talking about
Red Stripe? that is SO racist!
Colour me suprised king cobras weren’t the choice for all 3.
@9 is Pinky Green, second greatest trader of all time and “Pancho Sanza” to The Man.
@31 the fuck?
I always thought people called it Scchhhhhtaaad
@9 Dropping the G is phony.
@28 & @29 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105323/
@7 – that just means he must also like licking ass.
Love the Bruce Willis lucky trading aerobic shoes. Must be a staple of all the Market Wizards.
This guy looks like my 7th grade math teacher buy I’m not gonna lie, my panties are wet after watching this…
Seems like a decent guy. Some of those NYFE brokers are still in there. Kinda sad really…
@39 what’s sad? ptj is now worth approx. 3 billion.
$40 the brokers that are still on the NYFE 22 years later. Those contracts trade by appointment only. It’s like they’ve got nowhere else to go.
Wisdom for sure: “the accumulation and then the repayment of debt basically drives every economic cycle that there is.”

Sorry not a Wall Street dude, but do trades get done quicker when you yell?
#36: true. Only ass-lickers trade European currencies.
very entertaining, if he’d bought Burger Heaven back then he’d have 4 billies
@46 LOVED the burger heaven shot.
He fucking sucks at skiing.
What a hack. Not once did he mention penny stocks.

I bot these at a charity auction. They’re Bruce Willis’s, the man’s a stud.
Those guys look like Bill Lumbergh waiting to beat the shit out of TPS reports!
I wonder what his reaction was to finding out it has been leaked…
