Hedge funds lure business school profs:
"The growing and lightly regulated hedge fund industry is attracting new players -- business school professors eager to test their theories in a field known for big risks and occasionally bigger rewards. Hedge funds are becoming a tempting tool for faculty members looking to sharpen research and giving a Wall Street perspective to their students, all while making some extra money."

Private lives of CEOs tied to profit, loss
For a news paper article, this one is great! It is a series of summaries that basically show that CEO's personal life impacts the firm.
Private lives of CEOs tied to profit, loss:
"Should shareholders in a company care if the chief executive's child dies? What if the mother-in-law passes away?.....slid by about one-fifth, on average, in the two years after the death of a CEO's child, and by about 15 percent after the death of a spouse. As for an executive's mother-in-law, the old jokes seem to hold: The researchers found that profitability, on average, rose slightly after her demise."
