All 228 Small US Publicly-Held Companies With Market Caps of $200 Mil-$300 Mil, Led By Earnings Improvement of Oil & Gas Companies, Had Their US GAAP Total Losses Decline By 75% Or Decline By $1.079 Bil in the 3Q 2016, From Their Total Losses of $1.446 Bil in the 3Q 2015 Down Dramatically To Total Losses of $0.367 Bil in the 3Q 2016 ..... This Expains Why the Russell 2000 Small Stock Index Keeps Hitting Record Highs and Why the US Unemployment Rate Is Now Only 4.6% ..... It's Great To See Such a Huge Earnings Improvement of These Small US Companies in President Obama's Penultimate Quarter in Office

From a review of the very fine Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 228 Small Companies headquartered in the US with Stock Market Capitalizations now of $200 Mil-$300 Mil.  Traditional Predominately Regulated Utilities were excluded.

Below here are the Total Reported US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for the Calendar 3Q of both 2016 and 2015 of each of these 228 Small US Companies.
