Mindful Trader Commentary For August 28, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market is at about the same spot as it ended yesterday, which means it's up overall for the week.  The S&P 500 is at around 7,735 right now.


I had a bunch of trades close since my last email.


In the stocks account, My trade for HMC reached its profit target.  My trade for GRMN reached its time limit, so I manually closed it this morning at the opening bell.  That one landed a small loss.  Overall, it was a profitable week for my stocks account.  I had 8 wins and 2 losses.


In the options account, four different option positions reached their profit targets:  DIA, GM, EMR, and MSFT.  My win streak got up to 21 straight profitable option trades.  But then I had two trades that reached their time limits this morning and landed in the loss column with a thud:  BSX and DAL.


I took on new trades today.  I bought shares of ABT in the stocks account, and I bought options for ABT in the options account.


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