Mindful Trader Commentary For August 16, 2023


Hey Guys,


First, a change to one of my positions: I changed the "Closing By" date for my APO options to be today's date. The reason is because I noticed there is an ex-dividend date tomorrow, and I don't want to hold the position through the dividend. So I'll manually close it near the end of the trading session today.


The market went down a chunk yesterday. Right now the S&P 500 is hanging out around the 4,440 price level.


I manually closed my stock position on MKC this morning. It nudged out a small profit. My BAC stock position hit its stop loss yesterday. Overall my portfolio is down, although some of the financial stock positions pushed into profit territory today.


I took on some new positions this morning. In the main account, I bought stock for TCOM. In the options account, I picked up options for GD. I the double down account, I bought shares of stock for BXP.


If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
