Mindful Trader Commentary For May 8, 2025


Hey Guys,


The market is up some from where it was the last time I emailed. The S&P 500 recovered a bit of the ground it had lost earlier this week.


I took on some new trades today. After having no trades open whatsoever in either account yesterday, it was fun to see some trading action this morning.


In the stocks account, I bought positions for GSK and GMAB. In the options account, I bought positions for NTR and GSK.


There are a lot of earnings announcements occurring in the market right now, which adds some extra volatility. In some cases it applies directly to my trades (NTR just announced earnings yesterday), and in other cases one company's earnings announcement can cause an entire sector to feel a shock, for better or worse. As always, I'll just stick to the plan and go with the flow.


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