13 Largest US Telecom Services Company Stock Prices Down 48% Due to Financial Meltdown Spillover Effects, Then Up 88% Under Obama and the US Fed

I found 13 US Telecom Services Companies classified in the Technology Sector at Yahoo's superb Finance website with current Total Market Capitalizations of at least $100 mil 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 the most recent date February 11, 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 13 largest US Telecom Services Companies had their average stock prices decline by a huge 48% 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 13 largest US Telecom Services Companies have increased by 88% through February 12, 2014.

Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 13 largest US Telecom Services Companies on February 12, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on  December 31, 2007:
