Tonight Cramer on CNBC’s MAD MONEY reviewed his WALL OF SHAME where he reviewed CEO’s that would make a rally if they simply left the company. Terry Semel of Yahoo! (YHOO-NASDAQ) showed his true stripes after the stock fell 12%. Cramer is putting him on the #1 position on the Wall of Shame for steady overpromise and underdelivery. Cramer thinks that Semel should go.
I actually noted Semel on this list of OUR 10 CEO’s THAT NEED TO GO back in December. Before you read that list, 4 of the 10 have gone (if you count the XM-SIRI merger) but not all of these remaining on the list are outright calls to leave.
