9 Largest US Discount Variety Store Corps Average Stock Prices Up 395% Under Obama and the US Fed

I found 9 US Discount Variety Store Companies classified in the Services Sector at Yahoo's fine 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 24, 2014.
 
The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from the following two excellent internet resources....  Google Finance and MarketWatch Big Charts.

These 9 US Discount Variety Store Companies had their average stock prices drop by 12% 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 9 US Discount Variety Store Corps have increased by a robust 395% through January 24, 2014, driven by Tuesday Morning's massive stock price appreciation.
          
Below here are the market prices of each of these 9 US Discount Variety Store Companies on January 24, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007, sorted by Percentage Increase from March 6, 2009 to January 24, 2014:
