Mindful Trader Commentary For December 8, 2025


Hey Guys,


The market is at about the same spot as it ended on Friday, which is also about the same spot as ended on Thursday.  The S&P 500 is around 6,870 right now.


A couple of my stock trades hit their stop losses on Friday:  ALL and my first trade for AKAM.  It's not fun to take losses, but it goes with the territory.  I don't know of any way to avoid having losing trades at times.


I took on some new positions today.  In the stocks account, I bought positions for AU and AZN.  In the options account, I bought options for JNJ.  The options account has four positions open now, which is a beefier amount of risk exposure than we've in there for a couple of weeks.


If you have any questions, just reply directly to this email and I'll be ready to help.
