The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from the following two excellent internet resources.... Google Finance and MarketWatch Big Charts.
These 161 US Broad-Based Manufacturing Companies had their average stock prices increase by an off-the-charts 314% from January 16, 2009 to January 3, 2014. This 314% increase was 2.7 times the 115% increase in the S&P 500 Index over the same time span.
This exceptional stock price increase was very widespread, spanning all of the US Manufacturing Sectors, as you can see in the second chart below. And there were only 4 of the 161 US Manufacturing Companies with Stock Price declines so far during the Obama Administration.
The Obama Administration has worked very hard to help the US Manufacturing Sector from the very get go. This US Manufacturing Sector was just crushed in 2008 and early 2009 by the horrible spillover effects of the US financial meltdown. There were an awful lot of effective things done, but perhaps the single most effective thing done here to turn all of the US manufacturing sector around was the 100% first-year tax expensing of all US equipment purchases in 2010 and 2011.
President Obama is keenly aware that to spur US economic growth and many higher-paid US jobs, the US Manufacturing Sector must be even much more incentivized by both tax and non-tax initiatives, including steps to reshore back to the US many US Multinational Corp jobs, which were offshored in the past two decades to foreign tax havens.
US citizens working in the Manufacturing Sector all throughout the country have to be very happy with the stock market performance of these many fine Manufacturing companies during the Obama Administration.
This exceptional stock price increase in the US Manufacturing Sector is driving a very nice increase in well-paying US jobs in the key US Manufacturing Sector.
The job-multiplier effect with US Manufacturing jobs is flat out superb. Thus the continued growth in US Manufacturing jobs will help narrow somewhat the huge gap between the very wealthy and everyone else.
Common stockholders of these US Manufacturing Companies should also be very pleased with the Obama Administration.....after all an average stock price increase of 314% in just less than 5 years is just incredible.
One thing the key US Manufacturing Sector needs, in addition to 50% first-year tax expensing for equipment and computer software investments by all large US businesses and 100% first-year tax expensing by all small and medium-sized US businesses, is for timely, simple, permanent US job-creating Research and Experimental Tax Credits.
The current US Congress process of annually giving R&E tax credits retroactively has to be one of the dumbest things ever done by the US Congress. You should give tax incentives to change future economic behavior, not to reward something much after it has already happened.
R&E spending is predominantly for people costs, and higher-paying people costs at that.
Also, the first-year tax expensing should be timely in order to maximize US job creation. The optimal incentive for hiring by US Manufacturing Companies is for them to see tax legislation that already exists when they are contemplating whether to hire someone or not.
Let me make a prediction. If with the November 2014 election, the US Senate remains in Democratic Control and also the US House switches to Democratic Control, this 314% average stock price increase for these 161 US Broad-Based Manufacturing Companies will increase to substantially above 400% over President Obama's entire eight-year Presidential run. I am pretty certain of it.
From a fairness standpoint, I would let all large businesses get 50% first-year tax expensing in 2014, let both small and medium-sized businesses get 100% first-year tax expensing in 2014, and extend, enlarge and simplify R&E Tax Credit in both 2014 and 2015, but only if this is combined with an increase in the US Federal Minimum Wage to $10.00 per hour over a three-year period as well as a three-month extension, preferably longer, of Unemployment Benefits to those who have already been unemployed for six months.
But in no event would I extend substantially accelerated tax depreciation for leasehold improvements of just retailing companies. These retailers have been the main reason for the wholescale Income Inequality in the US and if the US Government rewarded them like this for paying their employees such meager amounts, then I think US citizens would be justified to hit the Streets in mass to protest this clear unjustice. And any US Congressman, Republican or Democrat, who votes for extending this massive accelerated tax depreciation for leasehold improvements of retailers should be targeted by US citizens for defeat in the next election.
Below here are the common stock market closing prices of each of these 161 Largest US Broad-based Manufacturing companies at both the most recent date January 3, 2014, and also at the date just before President Obama took office, as well as the percentage stock market price changes for this period of time.
