Connecticut Corp Average Stock Prices Up 141% Since President Obama Took Office
So, how have these companies done lately? Well, even much better, with their average stock price precisely triple, up 200% from January 16, 2009 to the close of Friday May 31, 2013. And this 200% increase is more than double both the 83% increase in the Dow Industrials Index and the 92% increase in the S&P 500 Index over the identical time span.
It is pretty clear that Connecticut Corps have flat out thrived during the Obama Administration, and will continue to do so, and particularly so if the US House turns to Democratic control and the US Senate remains in Democratic control, both in 2014.
Connecticut citizens have to be extremely happy with the stock market performance of their many fine Connecticut companies during the Obama Administration.
Connecticut citizens also must be very pleased with how the Obama Administration, with much assistance from the US Fed, worked so hard and very effectively on so many fronts to create a US economic environment that permitted these Connecticut companies to flat out flourish. This highly successful effort created a robust US economic environment which was quite a change from what existed in the just horrible financial meltdown, near Depression year of 2008.
