Mindful Trader Commentary For August 20, 2025


Hey Guys,


The market has been red the last two days. The S&P 500 dropped 40 points yesterday, and is down another 20 points to start the morning.


Despite that, I had nice haul of profits from my stocks account. There were four different positions that reached their profit targets since yesterday's email: LNT, SRE, WPC, and my second ETR position.


Those positions all moved in the opposite direction of the market yesterday and this morning, which made for a satisfying payoff. It also cleared the decks of my stocks account to free up buying power.


I took on some new positions today. In the stocks account, I bought positions for ANET and PTON. In the options account, I bought options for WDC and PTON.


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