Mindful Trader Commentary For May 17, 2023


Hey Guys,


The market is still in that same range it's been hanging out in. The S&P 500 is around 4,120 right now. A lot of healthcare stocks are down noticeably today, and that's affecting my portfolio since I have some stock and options positions in that sector.


We got the issue fixed with the options expirations for the watch list. Everything is back to normal there. I talk a lot about the emotions that come up with trading, and I can tell you I sometimes get a strong jolt of emotion when I find out something isn't working properly with the website. I truly appreciate your patience with that.


I picked up a few new positions today. In the main account, I bought NVS stock. In the double down account, I bought stock for VRTX, HSY, and more NVS.


My DHI options from yesterday hit their profit target. I had three other stock positions this morning that reached their time limits (BAX, LVS, and LULU), and all three closed for a partial loss.


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