Mindful Trader Commentary For March 9, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market gapped down over the weekend.  The S&P 500 is down 80 points from where it ended on Friday, and it already had had a tough end to the week last week.


My AZN stock position hit its stop loss this morning.  It's not a fun way to start the week, but what I've learned over time is that you never know what lies ahead.  The week doesn't always end on the same note as it starts.  Let's see how the rest of the week unfolds.


I took on some new positions today.  In the stocks account, I bought positions for KEYS and LBTYA.  That stock for LBTYA was only $12.29 per share, so it's one of the more affordably-priced stocks that I trade.  In the options account, I bought options for XLU.


If you have any questions, just reply directly to this email and I'll be ready to help.
