In case you missed them, here's some of last week's most popular topics:
I had no debt when came out of undergrad. Spent 2 years in IB, and had saved about $100k over that time, not spending any bonuses and not spending much except on rent (about half of my salary). Life was looking good. Then in 2008 I decided to go for a H/S/W MBA and things started to go horribly wrong...

I'm currently a full-time student and I play poker (a lot) at the nearby poker room. I have made enough to pay for college and etc. I have an interview with an IB firm coming up and was hoping to emphasize on some of the skills I learned from poker.

If Herbalife is Found to be a Pyramid Scheme What Would Happen to the Stock Price?

I was out last night having drinks with a few energy traders at a HF I am applying to for an entry level position. Clearly these guys make a lot of money especially the owner...
Why Are These Guys Still Doing ER?
Pretty much every guy on that list has a strong track record over multiple years. I would imagine they get offers from HF's all the time to run money and with the current environment at investment banks, I doubt they are able to match what the HF's are willing to offer...
