Updated Israeli Companies Filing With US SEC Stock Market Prices On Fire, Up 628% Since March 6, 2009 ..... the Obama Admin, the US Congress, the US Fed and all Americans Have To Be Very Pleased

I found 31 Israeli Headquartered Companies from a thorough review of SEC filings and from Google's superb Finance website with current Stock Market Capitalizations of just short of US$100 mil or more, which filed all of their financial statements with the US SEC in US Dollars and which also had their common stocks trading on each of the following three dates:
  • On December 31, 2007 before the 2008 worldwide financial meltdown
  • On March 6, 2009, which was pretty much the lowest point for the stock market due to the spillover effects resulting from the 2008 worldwide financial meltdown, and 
  • also on the most recent date July 31, 2015 or on the date sold for those sold in 2015
The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from MarketWatch Big Charts.

These 31 Israeli Companies had their average stock market prices decline by a huge 55% from December 31, 2007 to March 6, 2009, which was pretty much the very lowest point for the overall stock market due to the spillover effects resulting from the disastrous 2008 Worldwide Financial Meltdown.

But in the six years and five months since March 6, 2009 through the most recent date July 31, 2015, the average stock market prices of these same 31 Israeli Companies have increased by a spectacular 628%.  There are a handful of US States with an average stock market price above 628%, but Israel's 628% average increase is markedly higher than the overall US Average.

In the seven years and seven months from December 31, 2007 before the 2008 worldwide financial meltdown to the most recent date July 31, 2015, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 31 Israeli Companies have increased by an impressive 186%...... yeah, they have not just recouped the huge amount they lost with the disastrous 2008 worldwide financial meltdown, but also added another 186%.

Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 31 Israeli Companies on July 31, 2015, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007, along with the related Stock Market Price Percentage Changes:

When I think of US IPOs in Information Technology and Medical Technology, California clearly comes top of mind, followed by Massachusetts.  But after those two, it's all about Israel.
