I just read that "Or to put it another way, there are very good odds that Minyanville Media CEO Todd Harrison will not occupy the top spot on our list when we unveil it next month, even though he's currently #1 in our voting booth." and Peter Kafka, managing editor of Silicon Alley Insider, should know that Todd Harrison deserves a 700billion point addition! Todd is truly changing the world for the better at Minyanville! Keep up the inspirational work! Thanks for everything that you will do!

Todd Harrison, founder and CEO of Minyanville Media (www.minyanville.com)

He has 17 years experience on Wall Street as a vice-president at Morgan Stanley, managing director at The Galleon Group and President at $400 million hedge fund Cramer, Berkowitz.
Minyanville rose like a phoenix from the scorched earth on September 11th, 2001 when he left his high profile perch to affect positive change through financial understanding.

Minyanland, a massive multi-player online game, teaches earning, spending, saving and giving to children.

It is clear from your posting that you are a cretin. Did you really attend 187 years of classes? Even if you had the chance to attend 187 years of classes, you must be really slow if you could not learn enough to compare to what "God Todd" said to you in 1 minute. Go way to brown nose the boss, Little (Brown) Bear!

Years back Todd could have easily cashed out, walked away, found a trading turret and a couple hot interns to get his sushi and led a good life. Instead he worked to find ways to help people by sharing what he knows and multiplying his efforts by encouraging other savvy folks to do the same.

Todd and his team certainly saved me from the downward spiral that's occurring now in the stock market and give me a better understanding of the financial markets each day. Can't thank them enough!

Todd was one of the first voices to call out the trouble that is now upon us in the Market. He has been yelling into the darkness for 5 years and along the way he has built a solid community of people interested in the markets for all the right reasons. As a self described fiscal conservative and social liberal he lives the life and shares his knowledge with all of us.

Todd is a visionary, experience, honest, and sincere person in a business that few can match his qualities. He was able to bring many experts who share the same qualities to form one community in the benefit of all. Towards the goal of financial education, preserving capital, reducing debts, and capturing many investing and trade opportunities, he's marching in steady. Minyanville warned years ago of what's happening right now in wall street and I am sure they will put us now in the right direction of what will happen in the next five years. Kudos to Minyanville and special many snaps to Todd.

Not only is Todd a great humanitarian who walks the walk of "giving back," to the community, he has founded a financial web site that is a "must read" site. Every day the site simplifies complex financial issues and provides honest insight unavailable in the rest of the media. If you don't subscribe to minyanville.com, you are missing out on a site that will save you 10 times the amount of the cost to subscribe.

Todd and all the professors at Minyanville are beacons of light in these stormy seas. They have shown us the way, warned us about the financial rot unfolding these past years, helped us save our nest eggs and entertained us as well. There is no one like Todd, and no place like Minyanville. Thanks, Todd!

echo the fact that he has been early but right on how all this would play out...toddo is a unique and wonderful human being on many levels, but as far as trading goes, indispensable...you have to read MV as one of a small handful of sites that will give you the tools to make your OWN decisions but with all the right tools

Go Todd go! You're the only one out there in the jungle who shoots it straight. Things happen for a reason, and smart traders like you know that the markets are NOT a bunch of random walks, and that there's an alternative to the buy 'em, hold 'em, and hope 'em go up crowd.

If the rest of the financial community had the sense of right and wrong that Todd and his fellow Minyanville professors have, Wall St. would be a better place. His site should be required reading for all the morons in Washington so that in the future, politics will be run by folks who have some understanding of the realities of the capital markets.
I have a son and wouldn't trade him for anything in the world, but if I could chose a second, Todd Harrison would be a Number 1 pick. -

Todd's incredible knowledge of markets and what truly drives them is matched only by his unwarranted humility. Read M-ville archives to witness his long-ago calls on our current dilemmas.

Take heed of Toddo's daily Message in a Bottle and avoid becoming one of the hundred million bankrupt bottles washed up on the market shore. Also, his analogies are much better than mine (though I know for a fact he is a Police fanatic!)

I have never met Todd, but I feel like I know him. He has been a mentor through his writing. He has been successful in combining entertainment and enlightenment. He puts himself out there in a brave way and it is very refreshing. In the changing times we are facing, Todd has helped keep me grounded.

Todd's vision, sense of compassion and understanding are truly unique in the dog eat dog world of finance. He has assembled a world class community and intellectual capital that few can match. His work has done much to both elighten and educate those who were willing to listen. He and his team at Minyanville very much deserve their hard earned success.

Todd is an exceptionally gifted person who has both trading skills as well as a very strong humanitarian side that only creates admiration. As I went to the cemetery yesterday to recite the Kiddush prayer for my father, he was one of the people I thought of for his dedication to helping others.
I am glad there are people like Toddo out there to guide those with far fewer experiences especially in troubled times like we're going through now.

Once we threw a bachelor party for Todd: he ate the entire cake before we could tell him there was a stripper inside.
Seriously though: There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said. Todd inspires things in people that they never knew existed...

Honest, Trustworthy, Creative, Innovative, Sharing -- I've been reading ToddO for years, even from the CB days. Without doubt, Minyanville is the place to go for real advice. My kids play on Minyanland. Minyanville is required reading for all who want financial education.
