Mindful Trader Commentary For January 2, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market was quiet to start the week but then got volatile over the last two days.  On New Year's Eve, the S&P 500 dropped almost 60 points, but it's gained most of that back this morning.


I had two different stock positions reach their time limits today:  KKR and TXN.  Both landed in the red.  That gave me my first red week in that account since early December, although it wasn't a big loss overall.


I took on more new trades today.  In the stocks account, I bought positions for RCL and CG.  In the options account, I bought options for GM and XLF.  My stocks account is almost completely maxed out in terms of using the available buying power


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