Couldn't tell you his record.. but i recall he made about $1M From the crash of 87. I believe he had something like 100% returns for like 10 years, then it went to something like 50% thereafter. Never a losing year.

There is a very comprehensive accounting of the crash of 1987, the clearing firms debits, the various exposures of major brokerages, etc. Can't say for certain how this might relate to the exact amount PTJ made that week, but it's an impressive record of transparency from 20 years ago. I found it at the main branch of the Chicago Public Library about 7-8 years ago. Know quite a few guys who have seen this thing as well.

Chronicles hour by hour, day by day, alot of the stuff that transpired that week. A fascinating read to say the least.
