Mindful Trader Commentary For May 8, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market had a red day yesterday, but recovered already and is back at its highs again.  It's great to see that the market has plenty of strength.


My BAX option position reached its time limit yesterday, so I manually closed it near the end of the trading session.  It ended up in the red.  But overall, it was a profitable week in my options account thanks to the PTON option profits yesterday.


I took on a couple of new positions today.  In the stocks account, I bought a stock position for ETSY.  In the options account, I bought the options for ETSY.  I also picked up stock and option positions for MTCH in the later half of the trading session yesterday.
