$CSCO 20261120 105.0 PUT$ CSCO: Cut loss. Setup this long put on 22nd Sept with a long daily bearish candle below key support. Gave it 2 months till 20th Nov to realise its bearish potential.  That scenario didn't happen and the subsequent 2 weeks CSCO turned and broke higher across multiple moving averages.  While not entirely in bullish territory, my original thesis was broken and I've decide to take a 50% premium loss rather than waiting out on a hope.  Live to trade another day. 

$SPCX VERTICAL 261016 CALL 150.0/CALL 160.0$ SPCX: take profit. This bull call spread of $150/$160 was setup on 17th Sept and to expire in a month on 16th Oct. The target profit was set at 70% more than premium paid and that was achieved today with 11 days till expiry.  SPCX seemed to have a very bullish tail wind since last Friday after news of itsl leasing its GPU compute power to both Google and Anthropic and collected decent cash monthly that investors like the news.  For me, happy to be at the right side of the trade news and be able to profit from it.
