Mindful Trader Commentary For May 19, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market is down this morning.  We've seen two red days in a row prior to this, so it's the first noticeable amount of red we've seen from the market in a while.  But the market has shown a ton of strength of the last several weeks, so let's see how things unfold.


My MAS stock position hit its stop loss this morning.  My ETSY stock position reached its time limit and came in with a small loss.  It's not fun to have losing trades, but they're an unavoidable part of trading.


I took on some new positions today.  In the stocks account, I bought shares of NUE and TSLA.  I have some big name stocks in my current portfolio, now including both Amazon and Tesla.


In the options account, I bought the options for ROKU.
