30 Largest US Oil & Gas Pipeline Companies Average Stock Prices Down 47% Due to Financial Meltdown Spillover Effects, Then Up 275% Under Obama and the US Fed

I found 30 US Oil & Gas Pipeline Companies classified in the Basic Materials Sector at Yahoo's superb Finance website with current Total Market Capitalizations of at least $100 mil each and which also had their common stocks trading on each of the following three dates: on December 31, 2007 during President Bush's second term, on March 6, 2009, very early in President Obama's first term, which was their lowest point due to the spillover effects resulting from the 2008 financial meltdown, and also on January 27, 2014.
   
The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from the following two excellent internet resources....  Google Finance and MarketWatch Big Charts.

These 30 US Oil & Gas Pipeline Companies had their average stock prices drop by a huge 47% from December 31, 2007 during President Bush's second Presidential term, to March 6, 2009, very early in President Obama's first term, which was the very lowest point for the overall stock market due to the spillover effects resulting from the disastrous 2008 Financial Meltdown.

But since March 6, 2009, the average stock prices of these same 30 US Oil & Gas Pipeline Companies have increased by a robust 275% through January 27, 2014.       
           
Clearly, the investors in and employees of a clear majority of these 30 US Oil & Gas Pipeline Companies must be pleased with the impact of actions taken by both the Obama Administration and the US Fed to successfully rescue the US economy from its extremely weakened state caused by the 2008 US financial meltdown.

Below here are the market prices of each of these 30 US Oil & Gas Pipeline Companies on January 27, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007, sorted by Percentage Increase from March 6, 2009 to January 27, 2014:
