Updated Israeli-Related Companies Not HQed in Israel US$ Stock Market Prices Up 504% Since March 6, 2009 ..... the Obama Admin, the US Fed, the US Congress and all Americans Have To Be Pleased

I found 21 Israeli-Related Companies Not Headquartered in Israel from a review of SEC filings, from a review of Components of the Technology and Medical Heavily Weighted BlueStar Israeli Index, from Google's superb Finance website and from other Internet sources with current Stock Market Capitalizations of more than US$100 mil, 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.
The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from MarketWatch Big Charts and from Historical Stock Price.com.

These 21 Israeli-Related Companies had their average stock market prices decline by a huge 56% 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 equal-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 21 Israeli-Related Companies have increased by a superb 504%.

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 21 Israeli-Related Companies Not HQd in Israel have increased by an impressive 174%...... yeah, they have not just recouped the huge amount they lost with the disastrous 2008 worldwide financial meltdown, but also added another 174%.

There are no doubt other Israeli Companies Not Headquartered in Israel that meet the above criteria, but these are just the ones I found.

Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 21 Israeli-Related Companies on July 31, 2015, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007, along with the related Stock Market Price Percentage Changes:
