New Hampshire Company Average Stock Prices Up 407% Under Obama, Shaheen and the US Fed, After Being Down 64% Due to Financial Meltdown

I found 7 New Hampshire Headquartered 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 7 New Hampshire Companies had their equally-company-weighted average stock market prices decline by a massive 64% 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 New Hampshire Companies have increased by a very impressive 407% through February 21, 2014.

All 7 New Hampshire Companies had their stock market prices more than double since March 6, 2009.  And 4 of the 7 New Hampshire Companies had their stock prices go up by more than 5 times.

Probably more than anyone in office, Jeanne Shaheen is responsible for this across-the-board outstanding performance of all of these New Hampshire businesses.  She is driven to do so.

New Hampshire citizens must be just elated with the outstanding performance of these New Hampshire Companies during the Obama Administration.

Below here are the stock market prices of these 7 New Hampshire Companies on February 21, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007:
