Show notes

My guest today is Paul Tudor Jones. Paul is the founder of Tudor Investment Corporation and one of the greatest macro traders of all time, known for calling and profiting from the 1987 crash and compounding capital at extraordinary rates over more than four decades. Paul is also one of the most entertaining and interesting people I have ever met.

Highlighted moments

Most of the leverage, most of the time, if I think of the big ones, were derivative-inspired, either futures or options. 1987, that crash was 100% portfolio insurance, 100%.
we're 252% of stock market cap of GDP. So 1929, we were, I think at the top, we were 65%. And then in 87, we got to about 85 or 90%. In 2000, we got to 170%.
