- 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 20 Nevada Companies had their equally-company-weighted average stock market prices decline by a massive 62% 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 20 Nevada Companies have increased by a spectacular 658% through February 21, 2014.
The standout performer here was Las Vegas Sands, whose stock market price has increased nearly 45 times since March 6, 2009. There were 4 Nevada Companies whose stock market price increased by more than 12 times since March 6, 2009......3 of the 4 were Gaming Resort Companies.
To illustrate the operating consistency of these 20 Nevada Companies, 19 of them had stock market price increases since March 6, 2009.
Nevada citizens must be just elated with the outstanding performance of these Nevada Companies during the Obama Administration.
Below here are the stock market prices of these 20 Nevada Companies on February 21, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007:
