- On December 31, 2007 during President Bush's second term
- On March 6, 2009, very early in President Obama's first term, which was the lowest point for the US stock market due to the spillover effects resulting from the 2008 financial meltdown, and
- also on the most recent date February 21, 2014.
The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from the following two excellent internet resources.... Google Finance and MarketWatch Big Charts.
These 7 Idaho Companies had their equally-company-weighted average stock market prices decline by a massive 60% 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 equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 7 Idaho Companies have increased by a spectacularly off-the-charts 941%, driven by Boise's gargantuan 4,916% stock market price increase since March 6, 2009.
Idaho citizens should be extremely pleased with the outstanding performance of their Idaho Companies during the Obama Administration.
