These 11 Health Insurance Corps had an average stock price increase of an off-the-charts 240% since President Obama took office. And these 9 Hospital and Health Care Related Services Corps had an average stock price increase of an even more off-the-charts 290% since President Obama took office.
In this post I turn my attention to all Other Health Care Corps. I found a huge number of 99 Other Health Care Corps which file their financial statements with the SEC, which had Pretax Income or Loss of more than $100 mil in any of the first three years of the Obama Administration (2009, 2010 or 2011) and which had their common stock trading on both January 16, 2009 which was the last day stocks were trading before President Obama took office or had their common stock first start trading in 2009 and also had their stock trading now or were acquired in the past 12 months. I excluded all Health Care Corps in the development stage or with minor amounts of Revenues.
These 99 Other Health Care Corps had an average stock price increase of an off-the-charts 269% since President Obama took office. This is 2.6 times the 103% increase in the S&P 500 Index over the same time period. And only 2 of these 99 Corps had stock price declines so far during the Obama Administration.
The Stock Market is much smarter than any Democrat, any Republican or any Independent either in the US Congress or in the Obama Administration. And it is pretty clear that the very perceptive Stock Market is signalling that nearly all Health Care Corps are and will continue to do extremely well under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). And the Stock Market is also signalling that the ACA has been working quite effectively and will continue to work very well in the future.
Below here are the common stock prices for each of these 99 Other Health Care Corps on yesterday or when the company was acquired and also on January 16, 2009 or the first day the stock started trading.
