The 30 Cleveland, Ohio Area Companies With Market Caps Above $100 Mil Generated Total Audited US GAAP Earnings in 2015 of $7.352 Bil, Up 1,413% (or Up 14 Times) From Their Total Earnings of $0.486 Bil in 2008, the Year Before President Obama Took Office

Since Hillary Clinton is campaigning with arguably the country's best athlete Lebron James tomorrow November 6, 2016 in Cleveland, Ohio, I think it might be helpful to research how the Cleveland Area Headquartered Companies have performed on the earnings front during the Obama Administration.

From a review of the very fine Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 30 Companies headquartered in the Cleveland Area, all with Stock Market Capitalizations now of more than $100 Mil, and which also have filed their fiscal year 2015 annual financial statements with the SEC.  Traditional Regulated Utilities were excluded.

Below here are the reported Audited Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations of each of these 30 Cleveland, Ohio Area Companies for all years reported from 2007 through 2015 where the amounts were presented and in a consistent manner:




2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007
