The third citation is correct:

O’Neil, Ryan. “Strategies for Young Investors.” Finance Weekly 1 August 2009: 33-35. Print.

(MLA requires last name first, article title in quotes, periodical title, day month year, page range; older MLA styles include the medium “Print.” In MLA 8 you would omit “Print” and format the date as “1 Aug. 2009” and optionally add “pp.” before the page range.)
