Technical analysis has proved profitable for Paul Tudor Jones

Born in 1954, Tudor Jones graduated from the University of Virginia in 1976. He then took a clerical job on the New York Mercantile Exchange floor, before becoming a broker for E.F. Hutton. In 1980 he was accepted by Harvard Business School, but decided to pull out at the last minute in favour of running his own investment firm, Tudor Investment Corporation. This firm, which he still runs, became the umbrella for several funds, covering a wide range of assets.
