Personality premiums

Few months ago, Paul had a fantastic post on personality premiums of US public companies. We did see quite a bit of that in the past few weeks:

• VMW plunged by more than 25% the day VMWare CEO Diane Green announced her departure.
• Yesterday, MOT jumped 11.5% on the news of Sanjay Jha, COO of Qualcomm, joining MOT as the head of headsets division as well as co-CEO
• On the same Sanjay Jha story, QCOM fell 4.7%
