IONQ

Sam_Shelby

thanks for bringing this up. i am about to wait for dip to buy IONQ. Guess i better buy GOOG after all

Considering the only successful profit I have ever made shorting, is from QUBT IONQ and RGTI, your cooked

TegridyGamer

6 mo later IONQ is almost $40 per share. I think you made the right call

Superb_Weekend_5485

for reference the average institutional holdings of an S&P 500 stock is 80% - for IONQ it's 3 or 4 %.

Jay_Simmon

RGTI - IONQ - QBTS Ignore QUBT, that’s not a real company

Invest0rnoob1

It’s something that the government will probably throw money at to try to beat China. IONQ and Rigetti have received first round of DARPA funding, along with some unlisted companies.

Skurttish

In my opinion, we’re still in the really early, not-really-very-usable-without-a-human stages of AI, but the more popular AI stocks are now priced like AI is at a high point of adoption. They have caused quantum stocks to inflate way too early. If I bought IONQ where it is now, I couldn’t really explain to my wife why it’s going to go up.

Superb_Weekend_5485

I agree - Quantinuum is the leader. Chris Monroe the co-founder of IONQ and genius in this world - he actually left IONQ last year after disagreements with the CEO, said that Quantinuum is the leader in a recent youtube interview. Pity they are a private company.

Slydoti810

IONQ ceo got tech ceo of the year for a reason...

Temporary-Equal-774

Saw this post saying IONQ CEO is selling most of his shares. Isn't this a big deal if true? Wondering why this isn't mentioned here. [https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1l0aw0w/why\_you\_should\_question\_ionq/](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1l0aw0w/why_you_should_question_ionq/)

If u think IONQ is not reliable, which quantum stock is relatively better with similar business potential and price not overvalued so much?

Professional-Tax673

A) I agree with IONQ puts. B) RGTI put is riskier because 1) its valuation isn’t as bloated as IONQ and 2) it’s releasing its next iteration of Ankaa this month (June), so there’s a risk of a pop on the hype. C) Agree on QUBT puts D) I would NOT bet against QBTS at this time. It’s got the momentum, big money is pouring in, and it—arguably—has some potential applications NOW. Annealing sidesteps some of the difficult intractable gate problems that plagues the others. Don’t short this stock until its market cap reaches that of IONQ. E) There are other indirect quantum plays, such as in quantum security. ARQQ, BTQQF, and LAES are fairly safe plays now primarily due to their low market caps, compared to the others above.

I’m in IONQ puts after making the money on the upside. Probably going to add more.. maybe we get lucky with a short report on one of these companies Monday morning. https://preview.redd.it/y04p6ebrv74f1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef86d2c20d6465420ae0e638eb4b9d54ca13b96a

ShortRevolution6368

IONQ did $75M-$100M in revenue already this year and is a large cap company. Good luck!

573V317

I actually tried shorting shares but my brokerage account said there's not enough shares to borrow  It's okay...I bought puts on IONQ when it hit $47 so I don't get destroyed if there's a face ripper.

GurZealousideal470

The way IONQ went all the way up to $40+, and the only news at that time being the CEO said it would be the Nvidia of quantum computing, that was a bit too funky fresh for me

LearningIsGoal

They are already selling stocks quickly. Check the insider trading on QBTS and IONQ some directors emptied 50% positions. Also IONQ executive sold his shares to "cover AMT" on ISO maturity. But any startup with confidence in its futures would do whatever it took to keep shares. There are entire agencies that give out low interest loans to protect shares for up and coming starting. Even if you thought you could 2x the company holding onto those shares with a low interest loan is so worth it. And this was weeks ago since IONQ has climbed and he lost a decent amount of money just not pursuing the loan to cover with shares as collateral... banks and institutions dont want to touch these companies at their current valuationg. Such a bubble

LearningIsGoal

IONQ already showed it. Spend the money on companies with revenue, non-quantum companies. I have a gut feeling Dwave will do the same in Q2. Who knows. Either way their bookings are down 90% in Q2 so if they dont do that then maybe some hype will fall. But we will see..

LearningIsGoal

ATM leads to dilution, not a great thing. And R&D or funding they get won't accelerate their firms. They all work for maximizing stock price not true R&D like some of the private companies leading the way. So I dont see any of them being the winners in the end. IONQ is buying up revenue generating companies just to meet guidance. They may get money they can survive on, but the real winner will be one that makes a big architectural shift.. and I dont think it'll be the SPAC gang.

Professional-Rise547

[https://companiesmarketcap.com/tesla/ps-ratio/](https://companiesmarketcap.com/tesla/ps-ratio/) Compare that to QUBT QBTS IONQ RGTI then come back to us. We are not saying they're tesla, its rivian lucid and nicola

Slydoti810

Bears sound smart... bulls make money. Been in IONQ since it was $3 a share. I ain't selling until its worth 1 trillion...

LearningIsGoal

The pump is all retail though. That dont understand a single thing about computers let alone quantum computing and its limitations at the time. "Trapped Ion Quantum Computing : From BEC to big Industry" is a good watch, from the founder and ex CEO of IONQ. Gives a good unbiased look at the industry, bottlenecks, and the actual big players that are winning atm; all of which are private companies not worried about snakeoil salesmen to keep their stock inflated.

LearningIsGoal

You dont know the bottlenecks in quantum. AI didn't face challenges that quantum did . Go watch "Trapped Ion Quantum Computing : From BEC to big industry" on youtube. The co-founder and ex CEO of IONQ on his thoughts on the space if any of it makes sense to you.

PoseNotter

I've put around $1000 into $QBTS, $IONQ, $RGTI. Thesis: 10 years from now, all authentication on the internet will have to be done by a quantum computer, if they get to a point where they can crack pretty much any encryption in no time. Every time someone logs in to any portal or when your browser refreshes a token in the background. Either I'm totally wrong, or my investment will be like having bought Apple or Microsoft before their products became viable.

LearningIsGoal

Hype man, hype. Their earnings in Q1 was a fluke because they sold their first QC machine in 5 years to a research institute that is not offering free cloud time to use the machine; their main business model so far. Their Q2 booking are $1.4m. Thats an over 90% decrease in revenue in Q2.. let's just see if they follow the IONQ playbook by diluting shares to aquire any company that actually generates revenue.. or they take the massive revenue hit and people realize this isn't a growth stock

thrawness

That’s not entirely accurate. If you look at several stocks that were driven higher by retail-driven call buying, many of them began to reverse as early as Wednesday. I personally traded GME and IONQ based on this dealer-driven behavior. Feel free to check out my comments in my profile on GME. This dynamic is largely driven by negative vanna and charm, second-order Greeks that significantly influence the delta profile of options and, by extension, the stock’s distribution path. As time passes or IV drops, these Greeks reduce the delta of OTM calls. When that happens, dealers who were long stock as a hedge begin unwinding those hedges, selling stock. In a negative gamma environment, that process accelerates downside momentum. The result? A sharp retracement, with the stock often ending up right back where it started. In simpler terms: it kicks off with a gamma squeeze, but usually crashes just as violently on the way down.

LearningIsGoal

The bubble is now.. multibillion dollar companies on 200+ P/S ratios.. QBTS had a 500% increase in revenue because they sold their first computer in 5 years inflating sale. With their estimated booking of Q2 at $1.5m it'd be a 90%+ decrease is revenue. How can you say a bubble hasn't started when you actually look at P/S or P/E earnings of the companies. QUBT maint "earnings" this quarter was from warrant accumulations.. without the warrant their revenue was $39k.. which is made more in Q1.. There companies cook their books to make it look like their are making guidance. IONQ realized they had no significant sales so what did they do? Dilute shares and buy any non-quantum company to generate perceived revenue.. its a big joke.

Now I don't feel so bad I sold a covered call on IONQ, and will lose my shares today. Thanks OP.

Hello. You didn't mention details about IONQ and RGTI.

Slydoti810

Imagine 5 years ago said AI will be at your fingertips with an app from the appstore. You can ask it questions, generate content, etc... nobody would believe you. However, its now here - that is the possibility with Quantum - IONQ is a legit company and has legit partnerships with NVDA and other big players. They have the most patents in the Quantum space. Nice try....

Defiance and Granite have launched 2x daily ETFs of RGTI, QBTS, and IONQ. Wish they had for QUBT as that is also my highest conviction short but I'm short the other 3.

IONQ and Rigetti received Stage 1 DARPA funding, so they seem more legit than some of the others. There is also Stage 2 and 3.

I bought into a lot of it QUBT, QBTS, IONQ, RGTI & ARQQ and just sold all of it yesterday & last friday... made a bunch of money but I actually do want to invest in it long term. Was just curious to see what the community thinks of quantum in general... a lot of people think its a hoax.

Alwaysnthered

yeah tell me about it. these are long dated so it will print of IONQ bubble pops.

asdfadffs

I sold my IONQ shares at $40+ with 800% profit. It will be multiple years before investments in this space will start to generate any kind of significant returns for companies. QC is just research and development with LONG lead times. On top of that you have to tackle the uncertainty and complexity of QC. It is something that, in theory, we know should work but we (as a species) have yet to achieve the level of technology that would make it work. Bet on it if you wish, but don't bet on the tech, rather bet on that there are people out there more stupid and easily fooled by corporate BS than yourself.

Fundamentals don’t matter with speculation; OKLO effectively a sheet of paper IONQ has more brick and mortar Quantum supremacy likely to be established by IBM in the United States, Honeywell throughout the world in particular Saudi Arabia, Microsoft in the US and international, and let’s not forget Google For now, algorithms are gonna pump quantum, and the application as it relates to bitcoin is appealing. Ultimately, if you’re thinking about what’s likely going to be stable, you cannot beat the index. NLR gives you exposure to many companies that are highly important right now to data centers and are more likely to have tangible revenue. Ultimately it’s up to you and what your risk is.

Background-Dentist89

I assume you have stops on all these. Take your initial investment off the table and let the rest run. Especially if you have found other good candidates. Just looked them both up. OKLO is advancing nicely after a huge pullback. Watch it closely . What do you have your stops at now? IONQ is acting almost the same. Has not based since 2023. But it gapped up nicely in strong volume recently, as has OKLO. They both need to be watched closely. There are better stocks with better fundamentals. But if you’re up that is great. I have owned them both. Not at the moment. Make sure those stops are there. They will protect most of your profits.

Original_Cash_9311

I love them. I made my first big investment in November 2024 in RGTI IONQ QBTS and QUBT after I saw a random article out of nowhere on my home page at work about quantum computing and how it will be the next AI boom. I invested $275k planning to long term invest but had a gut feeling due to negative news about the markets starting to be posted, and I sold them 2 days before they tanked in January and made $180k profit. I stayed clear of them ever since but I believe all of them will be trading above $50/share in 2 years maximum. This year and 2026 is going to be a maximum growth for technology including quantum computers

When you don’t fundamentally understand a technology, then take to a shortsqueeze subreddit to expound on your clueless rhetoric… one has got to assume you are pissed you missed the moves. I bought those down in pennystock land so they’ve been awesome if you ask me. And the technology is proven. Deal with it. You can either get on board or be really really pissed when the stocks hit $20, then $30, then $50 ($IONQ)…and beyond.

Mother-Chipmunk2778

QBTS or IONQ? Which is the better one to buy shares in now

Basat098

Isn't IONQ partnered with AstraZeneca for drug research and development? It's been going on since 2022 or 2023, and it's been on IONQ hardware. I'm pretty sure D-wave and Volkswagen were working on traffic optimization in Beijing back in 2019/2020 where they ran multiple quantum algorithms for finding ideal routes. These are early stages, but shows strong capabilities and I imagine resources saved.

Gloomy_MTTime420

“Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, has made several statements regarding quantum computing, expressing skepticism about its near-term usefulness. Initially, at CES 2025, he suggested that useful quantum computers might be more than a decade away, causing a significant drop in quantum computing stocks like IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum.” As his comments cratered the quantum computing industry, specially $QBTS, $QUBT, $RGTI, and $IONQ, he was actually secretly concocting an $NVDA quantum chip and line. So…he should be held accountable for market manipulation, right?

Zenyatta166

Just a loss of $1337? I lose that much usually before breakfast. Thankfully there are things like IONQ and OKLO out there to balance it out...

Tricky-Bandicoot-186

I was in the same position when I sold all my $IONQ and $RGTI last Tuesday. Had been building up shares waiting on a squeeze. They were falling Tuesday then took off like a fucking rocket on Friday. Watched my $WOLF get nuked and panic sold most of my short squeeze plays. If $KSS fell last week because people doubled down on puts the squeeze could be absolutely parabolic. Of course it could never squeeze. Who knows. But the odds of Kohls going bankrupt any time soon are almost slim and none.

Keep it simple. Many traders are looking for some mythical strategy that’s going to be repeatable. It’s a recipe for disaster. You need simple strategies that are flexible. Boeing is at $135 in April. Sell puts. Boeing is at $205 in May. Sell calls. The mistakes most make are: not having a fundamental approach to security selection, trading around monthly options expiration dates, trading what’s in the news (UNH, for example), trading what’s hot (IONQ), inadequate hedging, aiming to hit grand slams instead of singles and doubles, recency bias (not finding new stuff to trade), and my personal pet peave — trading without actually having a opinion/ thesis (eh, TSLA looks good/ fun).

All the popular quantum stocks jumped over the last week/month I think it's IONQ and Rigetti that have DARPA tests coming up. I think Rigetti could be the one to turn into something real. Check their youtube, they have government contracts, have sold to the UK Gov, couple of unis. They offer full stack, so hardware and optimised software. It could drop 80% tomorrow.

He sent meds out for free every time it was requested. It only hurt the insurance companies. Raising prices also incentivised development of new and better drugs, as the patent he owned was antiquated. I think you've been deceived about the guy.

moorhound

I don't trust this Quantum boom. You'd need a doctorate to understand this shit, but none of these popping companies (IONQ, QBTS) have *actual* quantum computing abilities, they're using "quantum techniques". People are dumping into them because Quantum is an even buzzier buzzword than AI, even though they have no idea what these companies are actually doing (which is selling the same optimization software services that a billion AI companies are currently hawking). Unless D-Wave starts announcing some big medicine development discoveries, these things are gonna crash. They can't touch the holy grail of quantum stuff, which is cryptography, meaning as of now they're selling bullshit snakeoil.
