New York Non-Financial Company Average Stock Market Prices Up 514% Under Obama, a Democratic US Senate and a Quantitative Easing US Fed, After Being Down 57% During Financial Meltdown

I found 137 New York Non-Financial Headquartered Companies in Yahoo's or Google's superb Finance websites or from SEC filings 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 May 13, 2014.


I also included 4 New York Non-Financial Companies which were sold in 2014.   And I also included Accenture, which is not legally headquartered in New York but has substantial operations there.  That makes it 142 New York Non-Financial Companies.

The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from the following two excellent internet resources....  Google Finance and MarketWatch Big Charts.

These 142 New York Non-Financial Companies had their average stock market prices decline by a massive 57% 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 more than five years since March 6, 2009, the average stock market prices of these same 142 New York Non-Financial Companies have increased by a spectacular 514% through May 13, 2014, led by Keryx Biopharmaceuticals stock market price increasing by 116 times and by Macquarie Infrastructure's stock market price increasing by 43 times, both in the most recent roughly 5 years.

Altogether, 8 of these 142 New York Non-Financial Companies..... Keryx Biopharmaceuticals, Macquarie Infrastructure, Fonar, Standard Motor Products, Corporate Resource Services, Sirius XM Holdings, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and G-III Apparel Group..... had their stock market prices increase by at least 20 times in the most recent roughly 5 years.

In addition to the above 8, there were another 6 New York Non-Financial Companies...... Kate Spade, CBS Corp, Lifetime Brands, Astronics, ANN Inc and Revlon..... which had their stock market prices increase by at least 10 times in the most recent roughly 5 years.

In similar fashion, the US unemployment rate doubled from 5.0% in December 2007 to 10.0% in October 2009, early in President Obama's first term which was the very lowest point for the US Labor Market due to the lagging spillover effects resulting from the disastrous 2008 Financial Meltdown.

And then with the US economic stimulating actions of the Obama Administration, supported by both a Democratic controlled US Senate and US House (at the time), taking full effect, coupled with the Quantitative Easing by the US Fed, the US unemployment rate declined sharply from 10.0% in October 2009 to 6.3% in the most recently reported April 2014.

In like manner, New York's unemployment rate increased sharply, going from 4.7% in December 2007 to 8.8% in October 2009. And then with the US economic stimulating actions of the Obama Administration, supported by both a Democratic controlled US Senate and US House (at the time), going full throttle, coupled with the Quantitative Easing by the US Fed, the New York State unemployment rate declined markedly, going from 8.8% in October 2009 to 6.7% in the most recently reported April 2014.

When I combine the 95 New York Financial Companies and the 142 New York Non-Financial Companies, I get a total of 237 New York Companies which registered a spectacular 438% average stock market price increase for the little over 5 years since March 6, 2009. 

Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 142 New York Non-Financial Companies on May 13, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007, along with the related Stock Market Price Percentage Changes:
