S&P and Nasdaq Now Up Since Obama Took Office

by:  Sam Stein

The S&P 500, which is the value-weighted index of 500 most actively traded large cap common stocks in the United States, ended the day on Thursday higher than when Obama took office: 832.86 to its 805.22 closing on January 20, 2009.

This is, of course, just one index. But there are others. The Nasdaq, which lists more than 3,000 companies, has gone from 1,440.86 on the day of Obama inauguration to 1,587.00 on Thursday. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, closed on Thursday at 7,924.56, just 25 points under where it was when Obama took office, 7,949.09.)

To be sure, Obama and his staff have long insisted that they are not measuring their progress on the whims of the markets. One day's gains can be tomorrow's losses. But for those in the commentariat who are down on what has happened under the current president's watch, it's worthwhile putting recent developments in historical context.
