The truth is that after the stock market plummeted on the news that Obama was elected in Nov 2008, and continued to plummet and millions in layoffs were triggered into early/mid 2009, at some point the market bottomed out and there was nowhere else for the market to go but up.
NOT because of anything Obama did that was beneficial to the market, in spite of Obama socialist and anti-business policies. I challenge you to produce anything, any policy whatsoever, from Obama that was stimulating to growth. Even Obama's "stimulus bill" and "shovel ready jobs" were essentially slush funds for liberal political groups and not actually stimulating, except for subsidies for political supporting corporations like GE, and disastrous subsidized failed environmental projects like Solyndra.
What Obama provided economically could at best be described as "state-run capitalism" comparable to that of authoritarian China, or Hitler's Germany, where rather than actual growth and promotion of innovation and efficiency, a central government predetermines who will be the companies that will be allowed to grow, and the ones that will be "punished" into insolvency and bankruptcy. Just ask the unemployed voters and executives of West Virginia's formerly thriving coal-mining industry.
And don't give me the line that coal is an obsolete industry, China opens another new coal factory every 2 or 3 weeks. And since Trump has become president, coal has had the federal weight taken off their shoulders, and is growing again.
