New York Non-Financial Company Stock Market Prices Up 571% Since March 6, 2009

Since on this Friday, August 29, 2014, there are two key Democratic National Committee Fundraisers in New Rochelle, NY and in Purchase, NY that President Barack Obama will be attending, I think it would be helpful to research first how New York Headquartered Non-Financial Companies and then a bit later how New York Headquartered Financial Companies have done on the stock market price front during the Obama Administration.

I found 133 Non-Financial Companies Headquartered in New York in Google or Yahoo's superb Finance websites with current Total Stock 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.....before the 2008 financial meltdown
  • 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 August 27, 2014
I also included below 5 New York Non-Financial Companies which were sold in 2014.  That makes a total of 138 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 138 New York Non-Financial Companies had their equally-company-weighted 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 six months since March 6, 2009 through August 27, 2014, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 138 New York Non-Financial Companies have increased by a phenomenal 571%.
 
Thus in the six years and eight months from December 31, 2007 before the 2008 financial meltdown to the most recent date August 27, 2014, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 138 New York Companies have increased by a very impressive 79%...... yeah, they have not just recouped what they lost with the 2008 financial meltdown, but also added another 79%.

Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 138 New York Non-Financial Companies on August 27, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007, along with the related Stock Market Price Percentage Changes:

On the employment front, from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of New York State nearly doubled from 4.7% in December 2007 to 8.8% 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 New York State unemployment rate declined from 8.8% in October 2009 to 6.6% in the most recently reported July 2014.

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