TACO Vs TAW: Fade This (Equity) Rally Authored by Peter Tchir via Academy Securities, Ceasefire? The U.S., via Pakistan, and apparently consistent with negotiations being carried out by Witkoff and Kushner, has delivered a 15 point agreement for a ceasefire. Markets responded with oil down (Brent futures, at 5:30 am are back down below $100, from a high of $105 on Tuesday). Stock futures and treasuries are rebounding as well (even the 2-year, after the drubbing it took after yesterday’s auction noticeable for an absence of “direct” bids). Many of the Polymarket Strait of Hormuz “prediction” markets have barely moved in response to the ceasefire proposal announcement, fwiw. What to do? We Have Already Had Regime Change I think the most important thing said yesterday, was that the President, for the first time, made the case that the regime is so different (due to so many senior leaders being killed), there has been a regime change. We have argued, since day 1, that true regime change, without boots on the ground, etc., is difficult to achieve. Finding a powerful enough faction who wants to protect their own lives and those of their family, willing to make a deal to achieve that and retain whatever power and wealth, they currently have, seemed more plausible. While it is unclear who exactly the U.S. is negotiating with, it is important that the President has started to frame, whatever the new leadership structure is, in Iran, it meets “our” definition of regime change. TACO vs TAW We hear so much about “TACO” – Trump Always Chickens Out , that we don’t focus as much on the “TAW” – Trump Always Wins . The President frames every outcome as him winning . From Liberation Day to Greenland, his steps and the end result are framed as having won. To some degree, I think you can look at the series of social media posts and statements as “trial balloons” . Toss out an idea and see if you can convince enough people to see it as “victory” and move on. This may be a key component ...

James Luckey’s ordeal sheds light on the mistreatment political prisoners faced under Nicolás Maduro There were few countries James Luckey didn’t see during three years backpacking across the Americas , from Haiti and Honduras to Bolivia and Uruguay . Early last December, he set off from a budget hotel in the Brazilian Amazon hoping to fill in one of the final gaps. Luckey’s intended destination was the two-billion-year-old tabletop mountain Mount Roraima, one of the most spectacular corners of South America’s most troubled nation, Venezuela . But within hours of crossing into the border town of Santa Elena de Uairén, that plan went up in smoke. Continue reading...
