Mindful Trader Commentary For May 21, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market had a strong day yesterday, but gave up some of those gains overnight.  Overall, the S&P 500 is back around where it was when I emailed yesterday:  7,400.


I had two more stock positions reach profit targets.  NUE hit its profit target yesterday, and TSLA reached its profit target this morning.  TSLA gapped up overnight, and my sell limit order ended up filling for a price that was a couple of dollars per share higher than I targeted.


I took on some new trades today.  In the stocks account, I bought positions for NVO and GOOG.  In the options account, I bought options for MDLZ.


I have two option positions that reached their time limits today (ROKU and IWM).  I'll be manually closing those near the end of the trading session today unless they reach their profit target before then.


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


Eric
