Why did Paul Tudor Jones fight so hard to suppress this video?

I'm edging towards #1. What do you think?

I don't know if it's a legitimate attribution, but I can live with it.

2. He revealed some edges in the video that he didn't want out.

Seriously? What possible edges could the video have revealed?

I side with the article that suggests he may have not liked the way his demeanor was presented on film while putting on trades. It looked tense and a bit volatile. Perhaps that's not the way he wished to portray himself. Just guessing.

I have two theories.

1. He didn't want his institutional investors knowing he's into technical analysis, especially stuff like Elliot Waves. TA has a bad reputation among institutional investors like pension funds, etc. This could result in reduced inflows to his hedge fund.

2. He revealed some edges in the video that he didn't want out.

Most likely#1, some #2.And most likely , he saw the hedge fund clippers/socialist dimwits early. Interesting vacation place in MARCH 1987, downhill ski........................................LOL

I noticed top insti traders like to fuck with each other, call and ask for an opinion on an asset but never showing their own hand! it's a thing!!!!

Maybe not exactly an stock market edge; but could be helpful .He admitted to duck hunting since/as a kid LOL .For example , in North America duck season tends to run/ be best =4th quarter+ 1st quarter; + ducks usually fly best early + late, in the day. Some states start duck season early-SEPT.

NOT to mention, all the stuff , like he said he could help the FED out of the 1987 .............., PTJ told Jack Schwager he got interested in trading after reading a Rich Dennis article.

I watched the video and did not find any special edges that were revealed. Any one spotted the edges that I missed out?

I get more benefits reading elitetraders forum than watching that video. Thankfully, no elitetraders here (not that I'm aware) are trying their best to delete past posts and threads like PTJ.

Yes, you missed quite a few edges. And we're not gonna tell you, of course. Hahaha. Just fing with u lol.

PTJ told Jack Schwager he got interested in trading after reading a Rich Dennis article.

Interestingly, it was a Richard Dennis interview on PBS that a friend told me about in the early '90s that got me interested in the markets. I ordered the transcript of the show and it went from there. Unfortunately, that's where any similarity between me and PTJ ends.

His being into Elliot wave and TA in general has been out there for a while, I'm pretty sure it was covered in one of the Market Wizards books.

I think neither.

Once he made a name for himself and began accumulating AUM after the crash, he likely saw no upside in this video being out there, and perhaps saw the publicity as a potential negative given most HF managers in those days wanted to fly under the radar.

If someone thinks there is anything that could be construed as an edge in the video (even in 1987) I would be interested to know.

Also, drinking beer in the middle of the night while trading DEM is probably not a great PR move, although I would probably have done the same thing.
