Mindful Trader Commentary For August 21, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market is a bit up to start the morning.  It had a red day yesterday, but it rebounded a bit overnight.  The S&P 500 is around 7,665 right now.


All three of the option trades that were scheduled to reach their time limits today ended up with profits.  The GM and FXI option positions reached their profit targets before even getting to the time limit.  And I just closed the BAX options manually at their time limit, and they finished with a small profit.


That gives me 16 straight winning trades in the options account.  I haven't had a losing trade in that account over the last four weeks.  My options account is up 23.4% over that period.


I took on some new trades today.  In the stocks account, I bought positions for EW and BSX.  In the options account, I bought the options for BSX.


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