Mindful Trader Commentary For August 17, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market is down a little bit to start the morning, but the S&P 500 is still hanging out in the same range it's been in for the last two weeks, which is right near its all-time high.


I took on some new trades today.  In the stocks account, I bought shares of both General Motors (GM) and Delta Airlines (DAL).


And in the options account, I bought the options for DAL.  That one was a call spread (aka a vertical).


I have seven active stock positions and four active option positions, so I have a fair amount of exposure in both accounts.


If you have any questions, just reply directly to this email.
