It is a interesting question from a sentimental point of view. Everyone gets excited especially the media channels and speculators when a popular chairman rejoins the board or a Resigns from the Board. Some how you need to understand that markets are crazy and illogical. So today I brought two case studies to understand how sentiment worked in the past especially when a popular Executive Board Member Joins/Resigns.

On 1st June 2013 Mr. Narayanamurthy rejoins Infosys Board as Executive Chariman. Quite a positive sentiment revival for Infosys. People rejoiced before the stock market opens. On monday (3rd June 2013) market opened with a gap up along with 200 points price movement from the previous days close in just first 2 minutes of the market open. And then shorter term top is made for that week.
