I'm not too worried about anyone starting a nuclear war, but I think if Biden has Lewy body dementia, it could be a problem. He does have apparent cognitive issues and it seems to manifest when he talks. His campaign is notably apathetic too. Maybe he has a fluctuating span of attention, but that's not super evident just yet. However, we don't see anything like hallucinations, mood disorders, or obvious problems with sleep yet. That's when it starts getting serious.

I still think Trump is in a better position, but a big part of it is the Democrats going so far to the left, defunding the police, etc.

The stock market as a whole is real financial data. The US markets are worth over $30 trillion. If they fall by 33%, $10T evaporates from the asset base. Additionally, stocks are often purchased on margin--creating money supply. You think the Fed's economists ignore the stock market? Why do you think the Fed cut rates to zero when the market took a dive? Why do you think they start buying equity assets as part of quantitative easing? If asset prices collapse, margin loans get called, and money supply collapses. Then, people run to the bank and take all their money out, and money supply crashes further. That's what happened in 1929. Maybe some college professor stroking his beard all day long doesn't think much about the stock market, but the Fed certainly does.
