At some point over the weekend, Trader: The Documentary made its way on to YouTube, after it went out of circulation in the 90s and Paul Tudor Jones bought up all remaining copies. Those of you who listen to every damn word we have to say watched it yesterday, and probably got a kick out of PTJ’s vintage shades and pet turkey who Jones thought of as a dog. But it wasn’t just entertaining– it was educational. For the more observant ones in the bunch who were paying close attention, the flick was filled with tips on how to get a competitive edge that, when put to use, could make you a mult-billionaire one day, too. For example, start every trading session with a couple Buds. And also, prominently display pics of scantily clad/nude ladies in your domain. Whoever tickles your fancy should do just fine, though if you want to do it “just like PTJ,” someone please identify the lady above at this time. She looks familiar, but we’re having difficulty putting our finger on it, and Jones has yet to return calls for comment.

sweet ass
@3 shut your filthy mouth.
Cybill Shepherd, it was a package deal with the sneakers
is that guy doing him from behind
@7 yes
-ptj’s no 2
The eyeglass tie combo says “I am a sophisticated business man that you can trust with your hard earned money” the busty pin up in the office says “when I vacation in Gstaad I like to have 3 hookers dressed as the Swiss Miss Girls giving me round the clock bobbers while I hit the ‘other white powder’”
Christie Brinkley or his current wife
@10 he wasn’t married in the documentary but yeah, looks like CB
Agree with 10 on Christie Brinkley
I watched all of these and now I know why the guy wanted them taken down. He looks like a complete douchey cliche in these, however no doubting his brilliance. I’m sure he was just slihtly embarrassed by how he comes off
I could spot that ass from a mile away. It’s Toothie Ruthie.
-Wildcard bitches!
That looks like a spiral Playboy calendar shot to me with the poser’s headlights blurred out.

I’m confused. Are these videos made before, after, or while he was with Led Zeppelin?
wahoowa motha fuckas
That’s Jeff Macke in the pin-up. Start your engines!
@14 great to see the beginnings of our basketball arena being funded in these clips. – UVa & Darden
its kathy ireland, bitches…
@16 I meant, UVa still hasn’t taught me to count apparently.
15, an underappreciated post.
I think its Vendela.
kathy ireland, no question.
vanessa del rio.
Can’t find a similar image of KI…still looking…might take all day.
@25 don’t stop til you find it.
So now we all know who Ralphie from A Christmas Story grew up to become….
Could be that’s his wife Sonia whom he married in 1988. She was an Australian fashion model. Lot of video of the image in part 4 but the camera person tries to hide the bathing suit beauty behind the guys heads.
Looks like a clip from “Revenge of the Nerds 6: Hedge Fund”

It’s not the picture, but the year definitely works.
“In 1994, with his new wife, an Australian model named Sonia, Jones paid just under $11 million for a graceful Tudor home on Greenwich’s Belle Haven peninsula, overlooking Long Island Sound. “When Paul Tudor Jones bought that house, it was the first time I was really aware that the hedge-fund people had so much money,” said David Ogilvy, whose real-estate-brokerage company, David Ogilvy & Associates, has handled some of the biggest sales in Greenwich.”

supermodel wife sonia: http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/socialdiary/2003/socialdiary09_12_03.php
there was an elle picture in another scene, it’s the one where she is wearing some sort of modified tank top and a see-through white top underneath.
i remember that issue of SI very well…
I actually thought Peter Borish looks really good in the video. Maybe it was his pasion babe. Isn’t Paul sitting at his desk in that clip?
What’s up with Sorkin’s NYT Dealbook copy cat print on this story. They posted the video an hour ago and tried to spin it as new news. At least they could have credited Dealbreaker for finding it for them.
I’m not sure I can even attempt to put a value on Bruce Willis’ magic sneakers.
Definitely Elle McPherson.
seriously – is that the most disturbing photo of all time? What is that guy doing behind him and what is that face he is making??? Need a shower,,,

the picture on the wall is a Sports Illustrated Swim Suit Issue pic of Axel Rose’s girlfriend I think. Forget her name, but she’s in the video ‘November Rain”.
Bess, totally wrong – The turkey thought of itself as a dog. PTJ did not say specifically that PTJ himself thought of the turkey as a dog.
Very unimpressed by what I say in the hour-long video. How in the hell did this guy ever make it? I suspect he profited handsomely in the bull market run up to 2000. Still, though, I didn't see any traits or abililties worthy of respect or admiration in the video.
And, for the record, he did not adequately call the crash of '87. He missed it by 5 months. Plus, on the macro level it was meaningless as we all know. He and his statistician buddy were predicting 6 years of pain that would follow (not the historical record-breaking run up in stocks that actually occured).
Moxy. Maybe that is the one quality that I observed in him. Just moxy. Nothing else, though, beyond any other comitted futures trader.
