9只CEO下台后立刻大涨的股票

    美林证券公司CEO斯坦•奥尼尔

    斯坦•奥尼尔是首位因忽视2007年信贷市场危机和后续金融危机的影响范围而被迫离职的华尔街首席执行官。投资者对此反响热烈。

    2007年10月26日，市场猜测斯坦•奥尼尔即将离职，于是在纽约交易的美林证券（Merrill Lynch）股票上涨了8.5%，涨至66.09美元。该银行公布巨亏22.4亿美元后，投资者对奥尼尔失去了信心，几天后，奥尼尔辞职。

    虽然奥尼尔离职让投资者感到高兴，但奥尼尔自己对此也很开心，因为他的离职金高达1.615亿美元。

    Merrill Lynch CEO Stan O'Neal

    Investors applauded the first Wall Street chief executive forced out for overlooking the extent of the 2007 credit-market crunch and subsequent financial crisis.

    Shares of Merrill Lynch climbed 8.5% to $66.09 in New York trading on Oct. 26, 2007 on speculation that Stan O'Neal would leave. O'Neal lost the confidence of investors after the bank posted a whopping $2.24 billion loss, and he resigned several days later.

    Apotheker had been a surprise replacement -- not just because the company had been widely expected to appoint an internal employee, but he came with a questionable past, having been ousted from the top spot at SAP in 2009.

    Reports on September 21 that the board was considering firing Apotheker and replacing him with former eBay CEO Meg Whitman sent HP shares soaring 7%. The next day, HP announced just that.
