12. I am factoring in TACO

Rumors are that Trump wants to stop and Iran isn't having it. Iran stopped when asked in the June war and all it got them was a bigger attack. Iran is asking for "reparations" meaning they, not the USA, are setting terms for ending this. Iran likely would not be offering conditions publicly if they were not answering to requests for ceasefire:

And, Yes TACO but right now it looks like there is no pause button.

BlackRock and Fink are the opponent of retail investors and doing poorly right now. They limited withdrawals last week which suggests they are not well positioned for this war. Wouldn't trust a word out of Fink's mouth anymore than I would trust anyone on Fox News. Seems like the usual bit of telling everyone else to stay calm while the rich run to last lifeboats.
