Mindful Trader Commentary For March 17, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market finished the day green yesterday, and it's up again this morning.  The S&P 500 is around 6,750 right now.  It's nice to see a showing of strength from the market.  Let's see if that momentum can be sustained over the coming days and weeks.


My stock position for LBTYA reached its time limit this morning, so I manually closed it at the opening bell.  I set up a market sell order shortly before the market opened, and it automatically filled when the market opened.  That trade came in just 8 cents below breakeven.  It's not fun to start the week with a loss, but last week my stocks account started out with a loss yet ended with a solid net profit by the end of the week.


There haven't been any new trades yet today.  I have my eye on RNG from the watch list (both stock and option positions).  That one was relatively close to triggering earlier this morning, but just hasn't quite gotten there yet.


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