the pursuit of happiness 
I was hanging out in an opium den one night and met this really strung out guy who told me of great riches. All one needed to do was to buy and sell at the right prices and money would "fall from sky" he said. I credit him for much of my success thus far 
Other category
My department head where I was an instructor while in grad school. (RPI)
No one in the department depended upon teaching salaries and all were investors/traders.
When I arrived on first job a person in my department at IBM was trading on the basis of TA in Magee. (1957)
We traded stocks on EOD info (hand made P, V charts) at about 10% every 6 to 8 days. We used the P, V relationship starting with 300 bucks and added 135 bucks every two weeks.
By early 90's about 10k people were reported to be using this approach. 4 out of 5 reject the premises when exposed to the approach according to polls by people who have rejected the method.
