  3. It's not even that interesting a show, really. The only value it really has is that people think of it as contraband.

    i dont know...kind of looks like one of those plastic budweiser cups not a can. wasn't he chugging OJ in the same scene? plus it was like 5 in the am....kinda early for beer unless you were hanging out with 'go fast charlie' all night.

    In the vid it looks more like a can rather than a cup.

    Its early evening time on a sunday US time, when asia is just opening, so not an absurd time to be drinking from your weekend retreat.

    Quite funny, as he does burp softly a few times..

  6. I doubt that anyone from Tudor actually comes to ET (there are very few actual traders, especially wealthy traders on here). I would bet however that part of the core audience of ET also visits sites such as dealbreaker, nytimes dealbook, ft alpha, businessinsider, zerohedge, marketfolly, etc and they will often post popularized info on ET linked from a small source and then take that same small source and popularize it even more on those influential sites.

  8. in 86 sp was $ 500 a point! so when he is doing 300 lots selling to refco.lol in theend thats the equivalent of 3000 es...pretty big size...
    also his currency trade...dollar/deutsch

    which he missed by trying to get too low a price for 135 million was roughly...1350 fx contracts....nice size..maybe one day....very few charts in his office...lots of veteran info at his fingertips...

  9. Add this one to your list guys.

    Actually the avi file from these torrent/downloading sites has better video quality than youtube's, maybe good enough for TVs and flat screens. Could be worth it burning a DVD with it. I will try this weekend.

  10. In the 80s/20s correlation chart scene I get the impression he's careful not to show the other charts to the camera.

    What about the little pieces of paper all over the place.. must be price levels or something.
