The Tenth 100 Largest US Companies 2012-14 Three-Year Total Audited Earnings Were $29.110 Bil, Up a Massive 109 Times Over the 2008-10 Three-Year Total Audited Earnings of $0.264 Bil ..... It's Mainly on the Obama/Biden Administration and the US Fed

2014 Total Audited Earnings:
  • Up 42% Over 2012
  • Up 197% Over 2011
  • Up 1,047% Over 2009
  • Up 92% Over 2007
From a review of the superb Google Finance Website and audited financial statements at the excellent SEC Website, presented below are the 100 tenth largest (#901 through #1000) US Companies in current stock market capitalization which also had earnings numbers reported for all years from 2010 through 2014.  These 100 Companies had their stock market caps range from $2.88 bil to $3.44 bil.

I excluded all US Utility Companies.

 
How have these 100 tenth largest US Companies recovered from the 2008-09 worldwide financial meltdown?  Well, miraculously off-the-charts.  Their Total Audited Earnings From Continuing Operations for the Three Years 2012-14 are up a monstrous 109 Times from that for the Three Years 2008-10.


Not only have the 2014 Total Audited Earnings of these tenth 100 largest US Companies recovered all that they lost with the 2008 financial meltdown, but they added another 92% from the previous annual high in 2007 before the financial meltdown hit.
 
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.


And for someone to be against the TransPacific Partnership shows that either they don't really understand how capitalism works or are so ambitious that they are willing to say they are for a critical economic issue that would seriously harm the country just to get elected US President.  Again, just sayin. 

There clearly is a huge problem with US Income Inequality, but can you imagine how the US middle and lower economic classes would have fared if the Obama/Biden Administration and Fed Chair Ben Bernanke hadn't taken their economic actions.  It would have been extremely ugly even now.

And in similar fashion, can you imagine how the US middle and lower economic classes will fare if the TransPacific and TransAtlantic Partnerships don't pass?  It also will be ugly.  These critical partnerships will keep the world economy thriving economically for many years to come, with the resultant much higher company earnings.  The US Congress needs to fulfill its role to ensure that these economic fruits are shared more fairly between the upper, middle and lower economic classes.

Below here are the reported Audited Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for each of  these tenth 100 largest  US Companies for all years reported from 2007 through 2014, presented in order of stock market cap:
