231 New York State Company Stock Market Prices Up 438% Since March 6, 2009 ................................................................................................... 196 NY City Metro Area Ones Up 467%............ ............. 35 Upstate New York Ones Up 276% ............. ....................................................................................... ....... 136 NY State Non-Financial Ones Up 533% ........ ........ 95 New York State Financial Ones Up 302% .....

Since President Obama will be attending two DNC Fundraisers in New York City on Tuesday, October 7, 2014 as well as a DSCC Fundraiser in Greenwich, CT on the outskirts of New York City also on October 7, 2014, I think it would be helpful to research how the New York Headquartered Companies have done on the stock market price front since March 6, 2009, which was the very bottom point of the US Stock Market due to the spillover effects resulting from the disastrous 2008 financial meltdown.

I found 231 Companies Headquartered in New York State 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 October 3, 2014

I included in the above 231 New York Companies ones which had their common stock first started trading in 2008 and also ones which were sold in 2014.

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

These 231 New York State Companies had their equally-company-weighted 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 seven months since March 6, 2009 through October 3, 2014, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 231 New York Companies have increased by a spectacular 438%.
 
Thus in the six years and nine months from December 31, 2007 before the 2008 financial meltdown to the most recent date October 3, 2014, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same New York State Companies have increased by 48%...... yeah, these 231 New York State Companies have not just recouped what they lost with the 2008 financial meltdown, but also added another 48%.

Of the 231 New York State Companies, there were 196 of them based in the New York City Metropolitan area and they generated average stock market price growth of a spectacular 467% from March 6, 2009 to October 3, 2014.

And there were 35 of them based in Upper State New York and they generated average stock market price growth of 276% from March 6, 2009 to October 3, 2014.  Below here are these 35:

It's pretty clear to me that the US stock market in the next two years has a much better chance of being much higher under a US Senate controlled by the Democrats than one controlled by the Republicans.  Profits of US Businesses and a rising US Stock Market have resulted from and will continue to result from a very effective Trifecta of President Obama, a Democratic Majority US Senate and Janet Yellen heading the US Fed.....you need all three of these or else the three-legged stool drops precipitously.  Smart New York money is keenly aware of this and I think it will be very generous in adding to the financial coffers of the DSCC and the DNC.  Just sayin.
