- 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.
I also included the 3 Missouri Companies which were sold since June 2012. That makes 44 Missouri Companies.
The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from the following two excellent internet resources.... Google Finance and MarketWatch Big Charts.
These 44 Missouri Companies had their equally-company-weighted average stock market 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 equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 44 Missouri Companies have increased by a very robust 271% through February 21, 2014.
To show the consistency of these Missouri Companies, only 2 of the 44 had stock market price declines since March 6, 2009, and those 2 were both Coal Companies.
Missouri citizens must be pleased with the solid performance of a clear majority of these Missouri Companies during the Obama Administration.
Below here are the stock market prices of these 44 Missouri Companies on February 21, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007:
