Nebraska Companies Average Stock Market Prices Were Up 310% During President Obama's Entire 8 Years (January 19, 2009 to January 18, 2017) and Up 456% From March 6, 2009 to January 18, 2017 ..... These Same Nebraska Companies Had Their Average Stock Market Prices Decline By 2.1% in President Trump's First Three Months in Office

Since the Charismatic and Progressive Duo of Bernie Sanders and Keith Ellison will be in Omaha, Nebraska today Thursday April, 20, 2017 in their "Come Together and Fight Back" tour, I think it might be helpful to research how Nebraska Headquartered Companies have performed on the stock market price front during both the Obama Administration and so far during the Trump Administration.

From a review of the very fine Google Finance Website, the Market Watch Big Charts Website, the GRT Historical Stock Price Web Site and of company financial statements in the US SEC Website, I found the 12 Companies headquartered in Nebraska with Stock Market Capitalizations of more than $100 Mil at the end of 2016 and which also had their common stock trading at the beginning of President Obama's first term through very recently in 2017 in Donald Trump's first term.

Below here are the stock market prices of each of these 12 Nebraska Companies on April 19, 2017 (the most recent stock trading date), on January 18, 2017 (the last stock trading date before Donald Trump took office), on March 6, 2009 (very early in President Obama's first term), and on January 16, 2009 (the last stock trading day before Barack Obama took office in his first term), along with the related Equal-Company-Weighted Stock Market Price Percentage Changes:
