Don't count on the TACO trade this time around.
President Donald Trump reignited investors' hopes that there's a simple off-ramp for the US from the conflict in the Middle East, sending stocks surging and oil prices tumbling on Monday.
TACO, shorthand for Trump Always Chickens Out, proved to be a reliable way to navigate the president's trade-war threats, but real war is different.
Here's why market pros think that Trump's cooler Iran rhetoric on Monday isn't a TACO moment.

“All warfare is based on deception.”
The Trump administration is running a tight ship on this military action. As they should.
“Bolshevik Insider is a leftest rag”
Is there a broad consensus on that, or is it just your opinion?
They really are trying too hard to make that astro-turfed term “taco” mean something LOL.
Seriously pathetic, full impotence on display.
Business Insider is generally considered to have a left-leaning bias. According to Biasly, it has a Bias Score of -44%, indicating a medium left bias. Additionally, AllSides rates it as Lean Left, reflecting its alignment with liberal and progressive thought. The site’s content often focuses on topics that resonate with left-leaning audiences, contributing to its perceived left bias.
Business Insider consistently rates left to leans left on bias check sites, the same sites that lists CNN as leans left, so ya, rabidly leftist publication.
Given one only ever sees right leaning sites listed as extreme, a leftist site never goes past moderate, they are foaming leftists
One general complaint I have about financial/business/investing reporting —
I wish the common... vernacular... would get more fine-tuned and differentiate between *traders* and *investors*.
I’m very much an investor, but I wouldn’t consider myself a *trader*. Old-school, Peter Lynch/Warren Buffett/Charlie Munger style investor. I buy and hold. And I’ve learned to just live with the volatility that ALWAYS exists.
I enjoy following Unusual Whales on twitter - and yeah, it does really anger me when I read about unusually large options players making a killing in minutes by pairing shorts and buys minutes in advance of a tweet/truth from DJT. I would like the SEC to get better and more hardcore about tracking down and punishing such stuff. Yet, it hardly started in 2025.
However, it changes little for me as an actual investor. I just keep on keeping on, like I’ve done for decades. No doubt, day traders, options players, and especially insiders sometimes beat the pants off me (though, the larger number that lose their pants never show up in news stories!).
So, minor gripe, I guess. But other than high-level sector turns in the medium turn, the daily churn and volatility is not something an investor like me does or should care about.
They’ll think TACO…right up to when the lights go out.
Trump does not Chicken Out.
They still refuse to recognize the Art of The Deal.
He always acts according to a plan, these people with TDS just have to have their little fun word games.
I concur. Business Insider is a leftist rag run by globalist communists.
yep. Trump doesn’t act they laugh in giddy joy that “Trump is weak and chickened out.” Doesn’t matter what it is.
Trump acts. “Trump is a king dictator 10000000000 times worse than Hitler.”
TDS is a very real mental illness. The democrats are insane with it.
Merely using a term like ‘TACO’ betrays their bias.
BI via Yahoo - no creditability none.
“TACO” strikes me as particularly stupid idea.
I can’t think of an example where trump chickened out.
This is just how Trump negotiates.
“PREDICTABILITY” IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT.
Trump does not always “chicken out”, Keeps the other people at the table always guessing, and does not share his strategy very widely, beyond a small circle, and certainly not with the clever pundits.
BI via Yahoo - no creditability none.
it’s a media and TDS thing ... fabricated ...
Thanks for that.
I appreciate it.
