Todd Harrison

Todd Harrison was the head of trading for the Hedge Fund ran by Jim Cramer from 2001 to 2003 and the youngest vice president in the history of Morgan Stanley.

He is also the founder of Minyanville Media a website that is dedicated to increasing financial literacy.

He wrote a collection of articles chronicling his life from the dot com boom and 9/11 to the current credit crisis. It is focused mostly on his personal struggles, successes, and the subsequent lessons.

It is one of the most entertaining and enlightening things I have ever read, so if you get the chance I highly recommend it:
