- 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.
These 13 Nebraska Companies had their equally-company-weighted average stock market prices decline by a huge 43% 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 13 Nebraska Companies have increased by a very impressive 410% through February 21, 2014, led by Green Plains Renewable Energy's massive stock market price increase of 18 times since March 6, 2009.
To illustrate their incredibly consistent operating performance, all 13 Nebraska Companies had their stock market prices increase since March 6, 2009.
Nebraska citizens must be extremely pleased with the outstanding performance of these Nebraska Companies during the Obama Administration.
Below here are the stock market prices of these 13 Nebraska Companies on February 21, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007:
