TACO Tuesday or Terrible Terminations

The phrase Taco Tuesday has long been associated with a marketing strategy offering bargain prices for Tacos at Mexican restaurants…specifically on Tuesday.

But back in May of 2025, TACO became another Wall Street acronym standing for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” 

READ:  More Wall Street Annoying Acronyms (HERE).

TACO is a term coined by financial analysts to describe Trump’s pattern of imposing or threatening steep tariffs, causing market panic, and then reversing or softening those decisions.

• Translation:   A field day for traders…The “TACO Trade” has become strategy where investors buy into the market during the dip – caused by his threats – anticipating a rebound when he backs down.

And lately, the backing down has caused windfall profits for the Oil trading Boyz.

Which is also why last week we made fun of Wall Street’s Court Jester (bought and paid for shill) Jim Cramer who boldly claimed OIL PRICES have topped.

And we will argue that a good strategy to follow is to do the opposite of what he says to do.

Because Wall Street has been in bed with the Boyz in DC (the District of Columbia) for over 100 years.

 

 

In addition to Oil Prices and Tariffs, the TACO trade was effectively used when Trump announced his proposal to annex Greenland.

Remember that?

As a result, much of the stock market fluctuates due to the cycle of Trump’s volatile social media posts followed by his eventual “chickening out.”

And the traders are laughing all the way to the bank…at your expense.

Taco Tuesday or Terrible Terminations

Today (Tuesday) we shall see how Trump’s Easter Sunday threat over the next 48 hours pans out:   “Iran can be taken out in one night… maybe tomorrow”; Warns ‘every bridge and power plant’ will be destroyed.

And yesterday (Monday) he threatened:

To ‘Take Out Entire Country Of Iran’

 

Seriously?

The entire country? *

(* Note…Is it just us, or does this sounds like the ramblings of a desperate man who would willingly kill millions of innocent civilians over the Strait of Hormuz?)

Which raises a question: Is that 48-hour time limit in EST or Iranian time?

Because if it’s Iranian time then by the time you read this article the deadline has long since passed.

Hopefully TACO Tuesday won’t end in Terrible Terminations of Iranian citizens.

In the meantime, be sure to watch how the traders on Wall Street move with the current TACO Trade.

It’s another 21^st century version of:

Wash! Rinse! Repeat! at the expense of the small investor.

Don’t be their victim.

Instead, learn how to profit from their greed and corruption (HERE) because:

At Financial$ Matter, we don’t just reveal Wall Streets greed/corruption.  We show you how to profit from it.”

Share this with a friend…especially if they never heard the acronym TACO.  They’ll thank YOU later.
