In the months around Watergate, there was certainly political turmoil for investors to worry about, but the economic headwinds were far more problematic for the stock market, which endured one of its worst stretches in history.

From the start of 1973 through Nixon’s resignation in August 1974, the S&P 500 fell about 50%.
