Massachusetts Corp Stock Prices Up 177% Since President Obama Took Office
So, how have these companies done lately? Well, even better, with their average stock price increase by 213% from January 16, 2009 to the close of Friday May 31, 2013. And this 213% 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 Massachusetts 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.
Massachusetts citizens have to be extremely happy with the stock market performance of their many fine Massachusetts companies during the Obama Administration.
Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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.
And Massachusetts citizens must also be very pleased with all the help these Massachusetts companies received from all of their US Senators and US House members, and especially from John Kerry, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey.
Further, Massachusetts citizens are deeply indebted to probably the most effective State Governor in the country, Deval Patrick, for his huge assistance in helping Massachusetts businesses to flourish.
