This is from Jon Oggs post at 247WallSt.Blogspot.com.

This is a list of 10 large cap public companies where Wall Street would likely reward each stock if the CEO would either step down or if he was forced out. Please read carefully, because many of these CEOs don't need to leave immediately nor entirely to please the investor community. Not a single one represents any attack, but Wall Street would rather see the CEOs change.

  • AMZN
    Amazon.com
  • $129.91
  • -0.18%
  • $131.22

Amazon.com's (AMZN) Jeff Bezos. He doesn't need to go away entirely! He just needs to do a partial title change. But will anyone inside the company tell the emperor he is wearing no space suit? The company has scored high marks for the holiday season, but a splitting of the office of President & CEO would greatly benefit the company with some fresh blood.

    Citigroup Inc

  • $4.25

Citigroup's (C) Chuck Prince. The prince calls for Draconian measures, and maybe the prince didn't mean just THIS Prince. Cramer thinks he is gone this time next year, and the shares have been running up based on the hopes that the street will force change.

  • $15.68

Dell's (DELL) Kevin Rollins. Rollins may survive since the stock has managed to recover. The business is not as bad nor as dire as the initial stock performance was before a recovery, but Wall Street has made up its mind. Most of my own computers are Dell and that won't change. But for Rollins to be saved, the stock will have to at least show stability and the SEC issue needs to be resolved soon.

Eastman Kodak's (EK) Antonio Perez. Maybe he's nice, but for heaven's sake get the restructuring over with and get some mojo. Bring in a REAL digital media leader. I received emails on this confirming they are taking way too long to restructure and that they aren't moving fast enough; although Mr. Perez is said to be nice. Being nice doesn't cut it and he really needs to at least bring in a new person that can offer a strategy in a changed world.

  • GPS
    Gap Inc
  • $22.70
  • +0.09%
  • $22.89

Gap Inc.'s (GPS) Paul Pressler. Every generation may have one, but his generation gap has helped the Gap to alienate customers and send them to competitors. For a stock to be up so much on a takeover "HOPE" you have to worry. Most stores are leased so there is little real estate play here. Cash flow remains positive, and "valuation" is about the only thing that makes Gap attractive.

  • HD
    Home Depot Inc
  • $27.31
  • +1.83%
  • $27.15

Home Depot's (HD) Bob Nardelli. Does anyone on Wall Street respect him? Just because he was one of the runners-up to run G.E. doesn't mean he shouldn't change his name to Richard. I received what were claims of "ex-employee" emails claiming Nardelli & Co. managed to kill off the entrepreneurial spirit of the employees here and replace the culture with that of an hourly worker mentality. I didn't note that previously and if so, "Bob you gotta go if you broke what was working great." The company has also signalled it was leveraging up just to make it harder to control the company. Miraculously Cramer said this morning in an article that Mr. Nardelli may not be able to screw it up and it could run $10 from here if housing improves.

  • $44.37

Qualcomm's (QCOM) Paul Jacobs. He isn't being sent home yet, but his dad's shoes are proving very hard to fill. This is not an outright call that Jacobs the Younger needs to go. He asked to be judged on the bottom line when he took control, and Wall Street does that buy share prices. I received some hate mail over even hinting at this even though my title strictly qualified this as a "may" need to go, yet the following evening after posting this the company offered some guidance that was far less than exciting. Time is ticking.

  • SIRI
    Sirius Xm Radio I
  • $0.6321
  • +1.61%
  • $0.6284

Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) & XM Satellite Radio (XMSR). It is a dead heat in the race, and if two companies need to merge, it's these two. There can be only one. The funny thing is that actually both can survive if you read into the plan here.
