These 107 Ohio Corps had their average stock prices increase by a very impressive 241% from January 16, 2009 to August 30, 2013. This 241% increase is 2.6 times the 92% increase in the S&P 500 Index over the same time span.
A substantial portion of this 241% increase occurred in the first two years of the Obama Administration, when both the US Senate and the US House were under Democratic control.
The 84 Non-Financial Corps did even better, generating an average stock price increase of 281% so far during the Obama Administration.
Ohio is blessed with three equally exceptional US House members.....Marcy Kaptur, Marcia Fudge and Tim Ryan.....as well as an exceptional US Senator Sherrod Brown, who have all played instrumental roles in the outperformance of Ohio's Non-Financial companies.
Below here are the common stock market closing prices of each of these 107 Ohio Corps at both the most recent date (August 30, 2013) and also at the date just before President Obama took office in his first term (Jan 16, 2009), as well as the percentage stock market price changes for this period of time:
