14 Largest US Internet Information Provider Company Stock Prices Down 61% Due to Financial Meltdown Spillover Effects, Then Up 414% Under Obama and the US Fed

I found 27 US Internet Information Provider Companies classified in the Technology Sector at Yahoo's superb Finance website with current Total Market Capitalizations of at least $100 mil each.

Of these 27 US Internet Information Provider Companies, 14 of them 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 the most recent date February 7, 2014.

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

These 14 largest US Internet Information Provider Companies having their common stocks trading on each of the above three dates had their average stock prices drop by a massive 61% 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 in the slightly less than five years since March 6, 2009, the average stock prices of these same 14 US Internet Information Provider Companies have increased by a very impressive 414% through February 7, 2014, led by Healthstream, Web.com Group and Autobytel.....with all 3 experiencing stock market price growth above 900%.

Clearly, the investors in and employees of nearly all of these 14 US Internet Information Provider Companies must be very 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. 

Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 14 largest US Internet Information Provider Companies having their stocks trading on February 7, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and also on December 31, 2007:
