New York Non-Financial Company Stock Prices Up 540% Since March 6, 2009

I found 136 New York State Headquartered Non-Financial Companies in Yahoo's or Google's superb Finance websites or from SEC filings with Total Market Capitalizations currently of more than $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 July 10, 2014
I also included below 5 New York Non-Financial Companies which were sold in 2014.  That makes it 141 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 141 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 five years and four months since March 6, 2009, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 141 New York Non-Financial Companies have increased by a spectacular 540% through July 10, 2014.

And I found 94 New York Financial Companies which had Market Caps currently of more than $100 mil and also had their common stocks trading on the same above three dates.

These 94 New York Financial Companies had their 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 five years and four months since March 6, 2009, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 94 New York Financial Companies have increased by a very impressive 335% through July 10, 2014.

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 spillover effects resulting from the disastrous 2008 Financial Meltdown.

And then with the US economic stimulating actions of the Obama Administration 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 6.1% in the most recently reported June 2014.

In like manner, New York's unemployment rate nearly doubled, 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 going full throttle, coupled with the Quantitative Easing by the US Fed, the New York State unemployment rate declined from 8.8% in October 2009 to 6.7% in the most recently reported May 2014.

New York State Citizens must be very pleased with both the outstanding performance of nearly all of their New York Companies as well as the significant drop in the New York State Unemployment rate during the Obama Administration.

Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 235 New York Companies on July 10, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007, along with the related Stock Market Price Percentage Changes:
