Bernie , Putin and the stock market

Virtually undisputed facts:

Stock market hates BS.
Putin wants another 4 years of the Trump chaos.

As BS chances improve, the stock market should go down, Trump loses one of the few indisputable achievements of his reign of incompetence to help him win in November. So why would Putin be working for the BS campaign? Seems like a Catch-22?
Does that make sense, does anything make sense anymore?

If Trump wins, he gets four more years of chaos, If Sanders wins, Trump declares that the election was rigged and refuses to leave, triggering an unknown period of even more chaos. Win-win for Putin either way. Wouldn't be surprised if they fed the information about the "helping Sanders" to the IC to head us down this path, and then leaked it.

It all makes perfect sense, you just have to see from Russia's perspective. We helped the dismantling of the Soviet Union, where Putin was happy in the KGB. He, and they, want revenge and want to dismantle us. A compromised GOP and a divided Democratic Party is exactly their goal.
