2 No-Brainer Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist During the TACO Trade
The newest moniker making the rounds on Wall Street is called the TACO trade.
As of closing bell on May 29, the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average have each generated roughly breakeven returns on the year.

One of the more interesting aspects of the price movement in the stock market this year is annotating precisely when major volatility occurred. According to recently published data, it appears that the market's most pronounced declines and gains throughout 2025 can be traced back to major announcements from Washington, D.C.
