Mindful Trader Commentary For January 12, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market is down to start he morning.  The S&P 500 had reached its all time high on Friday, but it's down 30 points to start the day.


None of my existing positions got closed yet this morning, but I took on some new positions.


In the stocks account, I bought positions for SCHW and COF.  In the options account, I bought options for those same tickers.  My portfolios are starting to build back up.


The trade for COF might be a volatile one.  It dropped majorly over the weekend since Friday, so the trade has similarities to that AIG trade I had a week ago. Let's see if this trade gives us a better outcome than the AIG trade.  COF's stock price might make large bounces in either direction.


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