Washington DC Corps Stock Prices Up 303% Since President Obama Took Office

From a review of SEC Filings , I found 8 Corps headquartered in the Washington District of Columbia which generated Core, Ongoing Pretax Income or Pretax Loss of at least $10 mil each in any of the first three years of the Obama Administration (2009, 2010 or 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 on August 30, 2013.

The historical stock prices were obtained from the following two excellent internet resources.....  Google Finance and MarketWatch Big Charts .

These 8 Washington DC Corps had their average stock prices increase by a very robust 303% from January 16, 2009 to August 30, 2013.  This 303% increase is 3.3 times the 92% increase in the S&P 500 Index over the same time span.

Below here are the common stock market closing prices of each of these 8 Washington DC 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:
