US Security Brokers/Investment Advice Corps Average Stock Prices up 242% Under Obama

From a review of SEC Filings , I found 25 US Security Brokers/Investment Advice Corps which generated Core, Ongoing Pretax Income of at least $100 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 March 6, 2009, very early in President Obama's first term, which was their low point resulting from the 2008 financial meltdown, and also trading on yesterday January 14, 2014.

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

These 25 US Security Brokers/Investment Advice Corps had their average stock prices increase by an exceptional 242% from March 6, 2009 to January 14, 2014.

Clearly, the stockholders and employees of these US Security Brokers/Investment Advice Corps must be extremely pleased with the financial impact of actions taken by both the Obama Administration and the US Fed to rescue the financial industry, which was in serious trouble after the financial meltdown hit late in President Bush's second term in 2008.

Below here are the common stock market closing prices of each of these 25 US Security Brokers/Investment Advice Corps at both yesterday's close January 14, 2014 and also on March 6, 2009, as well as the percentage stock market price changes for this period of time.
