Mindful Trader Commentary For August 10, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market is down a smidge at the time I'm typing this, but overall it's still riding high and right near its all-time highs.  The S&P 500 is around 7,750 right now.


My XOM option position reached its profit target.  That brings me up to 9 straight winning option trades.  I haven't had a losing option trade in the last 17 days.


There haven't been any new trades yet today.  It's been quiet on that front for the last few trading days.  It's inevitable that there will be some days with no trades.  I have buy limit orders in for the tickers on the watch list, as always.  My order for Domino's Pizza almost filled, but then the stock went up.  Right now, VZ is the closest to filling (for both stock and option positions).


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