4 Largest US Computer Wholesale Company Stock Prices Down 53% Due to Financial Meltdown Spillover Effects, Then Up 417% Under Obama and the US Fed

I found 4 US Computer Wholesale Companies shown 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 12, 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 4 largest US Computer Wholesale Companies had their average stock prices decline by a huge 53% 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 4 US Computer Wholesale Companies have increased by a very impressive 417% through February 12, 2014, led by Richardson-TX-based Speed Commerce.  All 4 of these Companies had their stock prices increase by more than 150% since March 6, 2009..

Clearly, the investors in and employees of all 4 of these largest US Computer Wholesale 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 4 largest US Computer Wholesale Companies on February 12, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on  December 31, 2007:
