June turnover levels, as expected, have come down back to Earth. While turnover remains reasonably high it is no where near the levels recorded in May and April which was characterized by a large number of quarterly earnings announcements and the proxy season. June turnover has so far come down in all major categories as compared with the same time period in April and May of 2007. June 1-13, 2007 turnover levels are very close to the numbers recorded in the same period in June 2006. Overall C-level turnover increased 2% as compared with the same period in June 2006. CEO turnover on the other hand, declined 3% from 2006 numbers while CFO turnover increased 9% over the same period in 2006. Board of director changes remain quite high but came off precipitously from the high numbers registered during the previous month of May.

WHY FOLLOW THIS STUFF?
Investors need to diligently monitor key management changes. Certain management changes should be viewed as a "special situation" that can have a direct and major impact on a company's performance and share price.
* New CEOs know more than the market about the company. Their decision contains information.Likewise the departing CEOLikewise departing CFOs
* New CEOs will bring new skills and a new direction. This is normally significant, and worth analyzing.
