## Paul Tudor Jones’ early life and career

Born on the 28th of September, 1954 in Memphis, Tennessee, Paul Tudor Jones is an American billionaire who got his career jumpstart at his dad’s small business paper — the Memphis Daily News — where Jones wrote under the pseudonym Paul Eagle in high school and college to pay for tuition.

During his early years, he attended the Presbyterian Day School, an all-boys elementary school, where he graduated before attending Memphis University School for high school. His university education was at the University of Virginia, where he emerged the welterweight boxing champion. During this period, he held the position of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity president. Thanks to his writing job at his father’s business paper, he was able to pay his tuition throughout the university period until 1976, when he bagged a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Virginia.

After turning down his Harvard Business School Admission in the 1980s, Jones launched his hedge fund, Tudor Investment Corporation, an asset management firm headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. The corporation has grown exponentially, reportedly managing over $9 billion in assets. In 1988, Jones was among the founders of the Robin Hood Foundation. The foundation was aimed at reducing poverty in New York City.

Interestingly, the Robin Hood Foundation is just one of Jones’ many philanthropic moves. He had adopted a sixth-grade class in 1986 in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn at an underperforming public school by guaranteeing college scholarships to students who graduated from high school. This was later known as the “Bedford Stuyvesant I Have A Dream Foundation.”

Paul Tudor Jones’ alma mater was not left out in his show of philanthropy. He has made many financial contributions to the University of Virginia, where he graduated. On one occasion, he gave them $44 million to build a sports and concert arena which the university named after his father — John Paul Jones.

## Paul Tudor Jones best quotes

We end the article by listing some of the most famous quotes from Paul Tudor Jones:

My metric for everything I look at is the 200-day moving average of closing prices. I’ve seen too many things go to zero, stocks and commodities. The whole trick in investing is: “How do I keep from losing everything?” If you use the 200-day moving average rule, then you get out. You play defense, and you get out.

I’m always thinking about losing money as opposed to making money. Don’t focus on making money, focus on protecting what you have.

Don’t be a hero. Don’t have an ego. Always question yourself and your ability. Don’t ever feel that you are very good. The second you do, you are dead.

The secret to being successful from a trading perspective is to have an indefatigable and an undying and unquenchable thirst for information and knowledge.

If life ever ceased to be an educational experience. I probably wouldn’t get out of bed in the morning.

I always believe that prices move first and fundamentals come second.

Every day I assume every position I have is wrong.

You learn more from your losses than from your gains.

I know that to be successful, I have to be frightened. My biggest hits have always come after I have had a great period and I started to think that I knew something.

These were some famous quotes by trader Paul Tudor Jones. We hope you enjoyed it.
