On October 19, 1987, the financial markets across the world crashed in what is referred to as “Black Monday.” Tudor Jones and his colleagues had been predicting this for some time. So, while the world around him crashed and burned, he managed to make a profit of 62% by holding on to short positions. That year, he made a profit of $100 million.
His strategy and principles are tried and tested and followed by most of the new and young traders and investors.
