New York Company Stock Prices Up Again Nicely in the Most Recent Month

I found 232 New York 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 May 13, 2014
I also included 4 New York 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 237 New York Companies.....95 of them Financials and 142 Non-Financials.

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

These 237 New York Companies had their average stock market prices decline by a massive 59% 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 five years and three months since March 6, 2009 through June 13, 2014, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 237 New York Companies have increased by a spectacular 453%.

The 95 New York Financial Companies had their average stock market prices increase by a very impressive 339% for the five years and three months since March 6, 2009 through June 13, 2014.

The 142 New York Non-Financial Companies had their average stock market prices increase by an off-the-charts 529% for the five years and three months since March 6, 2009 through June 13, 2014.

Altogether, 23 of these 237 New York Companies had their stock market prices increase by at least 10 times in the five years and three months since March 6, 2009 through June 13, 2014.

To illustrate the overall operational excellence of these 237 New York Companies, only 10 of them had their stock market prices decline in the five years and three months since March 6, 2009 through June 13, 2014.

These New York Companies had their average stock market prices increase nicely in the most recent month.  To illustrate this point, the average stock market prices of these same 237 New York Companies had increased by a lower 438% in the five years and two months from March 6, 2009 through May 13, 2014, as compared with a higher 453% increase in the five years and three months from March 6, 2009 through June 13, 2014.

And such 15% positive increase spread.....453% vs 438%.....was consistent with both the Financial and the Non-Financial New York Companies.  The 95 New York Financials had their average stock market prices increase by a lower 323% in the five years and two months from March 6, 2009 through May 13, 2014, as compared with a higher 339% increase in the five years and three months from March 6, 2009 through June 13, 2014.  In similar fashion, the 142 New York Non-Financials had their average stock market prices increase by a lower 514% in the five years and two months from March 6, 2009 through May 13, 2014, as compared with a higher 529% increase in the five years and three months from March 6, 2009 through June 13, 2014.

New York citizens should be extremely pleased with the outstanding performance of nearly all of their New York Companies during the Obama Administration. 

And in similar fashion on the employment front, 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 May 2014.

In like manner, New York State'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.

Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 237 New York Companies on June 13, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007, along with the related Stock Market Price Percentage Changes, broken down between the Financial and Non-Financial Sectors:
