That data and recent events suggest that Wall Street, which currently prefers former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to real estate mogul Donald Trump, may not get the president it wants. According to the Iowa Electronic Markets, a prediction online betting platform, the probability that we'll see a Democrat take the White House in 2016 is shrinking fast.

"The Democratic candidate was all but a certainty to win the presidency less than a month ago—it was at 74 percent and it's down to 58 percent today," said Hickey.

Clinton's chances have dwindled as her campaign stumbles under the weight of a controversy over her use of a private e-mail server while in office, as well as a stiff challenge from Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

Hickey notes that other betting markets have shown similar but less extreme declines in those odds. Betfair, another popular betting market, shows Clinton's chances dropping from 75 percent to 66 percent.

"The gap is narrowing," said Hickey. "What everyone thought was impossible a few weeks ago, is less and less unlikely now."

4. Key word "may" not. She will definitely represent its best interest.

to step aside for a less qualified candidate who didn't win, even if that candidate is a man.

3. Who could've seen that coming?

(And guess what? There's much worse still in the queue.)

5. Well, no shit.

Historically, the economy and the stock market almost always do better under a Democratic administration, so Wall Street would want a Democrat in the office, regardless of who it is. This isn't rocket science.

If Trump and his "third-grade economics" win, expect a crash:
