Mindful Trader Commentary For July 31, 2025


Hey Guys,


The S&P 500 had another red day yesterday, but it gapped up overnight and is back near its highs from earlier this week.


My NUE option position reached its profit target yesterday.


I have a few holdings that are not particularly happy right now. My Financial sector positions (PNC and APO), in particular, are in the red. The timing isn't great because the option positions reached their time limits today, so I'm going to need to manually close those near the end of the trading session today. The day isn't done yet, though, so let's see if they make a move in the right direction before the finish line.


I took on some new trades today. In the stocks account, I bought positions for FXI and TSCO. In the options account, I bought options for those same tickers.


If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
