I've been fascinated recently by continuing Republican Congressional allegiance to Trump, and the possibility that this ties into stock prices. Bible-believin GOP legislators are for the most part willing to countenance all manner of bad Trump conduct that goes against the long-haired radical socialist Jew they profess to follow, from physical abuse of women to support for neo-fascist violence to disregarding the desperate to destroying the environment that feeds us all. But if stock prices plummet, as they seem increasingly likely to do, I'm guessing that they will lose their allegiance to Trump, support impeachment, and place their bets on the safer steward of selfishness, Vice President Pence, to better organize the government in Wall Street’s interests.
I've not done a quantitative study. Just making socialist popcorn and watching.
It is said that Karl Marx played the stock market of his day some.
"I have, which will surprise you not a little, been speculating—partly in American funds, but more especially in English stocks, which are springing up like mushrooms this year (in furtherance of every
imaginable and unimaginable joint stock enterprise), are forced up to a quite unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse. In this way, I have made over £400 and, now that the complexity of the political situation affords greater scope, I shall begin all over again. It’s a type of operation that makes small demands on one’s time, and it’s worth while running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money."

He certainly did not pretend to master the devil’s art, much less to attach terms of physical phenomena to speculation. But that's not stopping me.
Once upon a time a valiant fellow had the idea that men were drowned in water only because they were possessed with the idea of gravity. If they were to knock this notion out of their heads, say by stating it to be a superstition, a religious concept, they would be sublimely proof against any danger from water. His whole life long he fought against the illusion of gravity, of whose harmful results all statistics brought him new and manifold evidence. This valiant fellow was the type of the new revolutionary philosophers in Germany.

Gravity seems to be about to kick Wall Street’s ass, so say many prophetic signs.

I think the Congressional Republicans will soon see that the supply-side Jesus they really serve will tell them it is Pence’s time to richly bless them and their billionaire and millionaire keepers.
