Ohio Company 2013 Audited Earnings Excluding Procter & Gamble Up 15,717% Over 2008

Since there is a key DSCC Fundraiser in Cleveland, Ohio on Thursday, October 9, 2014 which three very influential US Senators will be attending.....Sherrod Brown, Chuck Schumer and Amy Klobuchar....., I think it would be helpful to research how the 61 Ohio Headquartered Companies with Market Capitalizations now of at least $1 bil each and with annual audited financial statements filed with the SEC covering all years from 2007 to 2013 have done on the earnings front before, during and after the late 2008 financial meltdown.

The Total Audited 2013 Net Income from Continuing Operations of the 60 Ohio Companies other than the Giant Procter & Gamble was $23.7 bil, an increase of a phenomenally off-the-charts 15,717% over the comparable earnings of only $150 mil in the financial meltdown year of 2008, the last year of the Presidency of George W. Bush/Dick Cheney.

This phenomenally off-the-charts earnings recovery for these 60 Ohio Companies from 2008 to the most recent 2013 occurred when Democrats controlled the US Senate, President Obama was in office and there were very effective US Fed Chairpersons. 

Procter & Gamble's 2013 earnings, which have been extremely stable, even during the financial meltdown, were 50% of the combined earnings of the next 60 largest Ohio Companies.   

Below here are the Audited Net Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for each of these 61 Ohio Companies in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2009, 2008 and in 2007:

It's pretty clear to me that Ohio Company Earnings and thus also their related Stock Market Prices in the next two years have 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. 




More details to come.
