a good friend of mine who runs a mutual fund based on betting against congress has studied this and determined that the best periods for economic and equity market performance are when one party controls the congress and the other the white house. when both are controlled by the same party, you get trouble, but gridlock is good.

some of this was recently published:

worth a read.
