Mindful Trader Commentary For May 9, 2025


Hey Guys,


The S&P 500 is right about where it was at the end of last week. That's a nice sign of strength because it shows that the market responded well to the plunge we saw early in the week.


I took on one new trade today. It was in the stocks account. I picked up some shares of BTI.


At this point, I have some skin in the game with both accounts. I have three stock positions and two option positions going into the weekend.


Small side note: the top ticker on the watch list is TDG. It has a share price of more than $1,300. I won't be trading it even if it triggers. I typically don't buy stocks that have share prices over $500 since it might lower the number of people who could follow along with the trade.


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