Washington State Companies Average Stock Market Prices Up 517% Since March 6, 2009, a Month and a Half After President Obama Took Office ..... Washington State Giant Jim McDermott Wisely and Courageously Voted Against the Big US Corp Favored PACT ACT of 2015 Whose Passage Energized the Anti-Establishment Movement and the Rise of Donald Trump

Since Washington State has a truly outstanding US Congressman Jim McDermott who just doesn't blindly vote on the politically expedient option but on very substantive legislation on what is best for the entire country, I think I would like to research how Washington State Headquartered Companies have performed on the stock market price front during the Obama Administration.

And yes, US Congressional Votes can have enormous consequences.

Using Stock Market Prices from a combination of three excellent sources ..... Big Charts.com, GRT Historical Stock Price.com and Google Finance ..... below here are the 43 Washington State Headquartered Companies with Stock Market Caps of at least $100 mil and which have had their common stocks trading from December 31, 2007, or in 2008 for companies first going public then, through the most recent date November 10, 2016, or the date the Companies were sold, if they were sold since the beginning of 2014, along with the related Stock Market Price Percentage Changes.

The below Average Stock Market Price Changes weigh each Company equally.
