Kansas Company Average Stock Prices Up 225% Under Obama and the US Fed, After Being Down 47% Due to Financial Meltdown

I found 12 Kansas Companies in 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 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 12 Kansas Companies had their equally-company-weighted average stock market prices decline by a huge 47% 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 12 Kansas Companies have increased by a robust 225% through February 21, 2014, led by MGP Ingredient's 890% stock market price appreciation since March 6, 2009.

Kansas citizens should be pleased with the solid performance of most of their Kansas Companies during the Obama Administration.

Below here are the stock market prices of these 12 Kansas Companies on February 21, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007:
