149 US Broad-Based Manufacturing Corps With Stock Market Caps Between $3-10 Bil 2014 and 2013 Audited Earnings Combined Were Up 1,404% Over 2009 and 2008 Earnings Combined Under Ben Bernanke's Reign as US Fed Chair

Former US Fed Chair Ben Bernanke will be delivering a key economic presentation at the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, Indiana on March 23, 2015.  It is open to the public and free of charge.  

Thus, as a backdrop for this upcoming speech and continuing a much deserved tribute to Bernanke's key role in helping the US avoid a Deep, Prolonged Financial Depression, I think it would be helpful to update just what has been going on with the Audited Earnings since the disastrous 2008 Financial Meltdown of the US Broad-Based Manufacturing Companies with Stock Market Caps between $3 and $10 bil.

Below here are the Audited Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations of each of these 149 US Broad-Based Manufacturers with total stock market capitalizations of between $3 bil and $10 bil for each of the fiscal year ends from 2007 through 2014:


2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007
