????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.
