San Francisco/Silicon Valley, Calif Area Company Stock Market Prices Up 488% Since March 6, 2009

Since Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi are holding a Fundraising Women's Power Lunch tomorrow Monday, October 20, 2014 in San Francisco, I think it makes sense to update San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Company stock market prices. 

I found 197 Companies Headquartered in the San Francisco Area 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 17, 2014
I included in the 197 Companies 7 of them which were sold in 2014 and 1 of them which had its common stock first started trading in 2008.

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

These 197 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Companies had their equally-company-weighted average stock market prices decline by a huge 54% 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 17, 2014, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 197 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Companies have increased by a spectacular 488%, especially spectacular since there has been a stock market collapse in the most recent month, particularly so for smaller health care and technology stocks, which the San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area is flat out loaded with.
    
In addition, in the six years and nine months from December 31, 2007 before the 2008 financial meltdown to the most recent date October 17, 2014, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 197 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Companies have increased by a very impressive 109%...... yeah, these San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Companies have not just recouped what they lost with the 2008 financial meltdown, but also added another 109%.

This spectacular stock market price appreciation for these San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Companies occurred when both California US Senators were Democrats, when the Democrats controlled the US Senate, when a substantial majority of California US House members were Democrats, when President Obama was in office and when there were very effective US Fed Chairpersons, including the exceptionally prescient, very likeable Janet Yellen.  

Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 197 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Companies on October 17, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007, along with the related Stock Market Price Percentage Changes:
