Nebraska Corps Stock Prices Up 241% Since President Obama Took Office

From a review of SEC filings, I found 9 Corps headquartered in the State of Nebraska which generated Audited After-Tax Net Income or Net Loss of at least $100 mil each in any of the five years from 2007 to 2011, and which also had their common stock trading on both January 16, 2009, which is the last day stocks traded before President Obama took office, and also yesterday, August 29, 2013. 

These 9 Nebraska Corps had their average stock prices increase by a very impressive 241% from January 16, 2009 to August 29, 2013.

When legendary investor Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is second to last on the stock market performance list, then clearly Nebraska has a stellar list of Corporations.

Below here are the common stock market closing prices of each of these 9 Nebraska Corps at both the most recent date (August 29, 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:
