The Second 100 Largest US Companies Total Annual Audited Earnings Upwardly On Fire In Every Year Since 2008 ..... It's Mainly on the Obama/Biden Administration and the US Fed

2014 Total Audited Earnings:
  • Up 6% Over 2013
  • Up 26% Over 2012
  • Up 33% Over 2011
  • Up 55% Over 2010
  • Up 137% Over 2009
  • Up 288% Over 2008
From a review of the superb Google Finance Website and audited financial statements at the excellent SEC Website, presented below are the 100 second largest (#101 through #200) US Companies in current stock market capitalization which also had earnings numbers reported for all years from 2008 through 2014.  These 100 Companies had their stock market caps range from $22.7 bil to $41.0 bil.

I excluded all US Utility Companies.

How have these 100 second largest US Companies recovered from the 2008 worldwide financial meltdown?  Well, miraculously.  Their Total Audited Earnings From Continuing Operations are up substantially in every year since 2008.

It is pretty clear to me that the major drivers of this wholescale, massive earnings recovery were prescient steps taken by the Obama/Biden Administration and by the US Fed.

That's why financially astute people know that they want a continuation of the economic policies of the Obama/Biden Administration.  The only way that is assured is if Joe Biden is the next US President.

There is a huge difference between someone running for President saying he or she will continue the Obama/Biden highly successful economic policies and someone actually sitting at the table and being a key participant in these economic policies for 8 years.  Just sayin.

Below here are the reported Audited Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for each of  these second 100 largest  US Companies for all years reported from 2008 through 2014, presented in order of stock market cap:
