Sure, portfolio back-testing is a thing. E.g. here: https://testfol.io/ Though you will be limited by how long some of those specific ETF's have existed. ETF's haven't been around long in general, and something like QTUM has only been around since 2018. So you may be best off finding something similar with a longer history, if it exists. Or looking at simple proportions of various asset classes. You can also look at general performance trends for sectors. I believe this should be accessible without a Fidelity account or login: https://digital.fidelity.com/prgw/digital/research/sector Utilities as a sector are way behind the S&P on the whole, on a 10-year basis. Dramatically behind tech, semi-conductors, etc. There are of course times when utilities or consumer staples outperform the broader market, like in a recession. They're good defensive moves. But giving up a lot of performance over the course of a full business cycle.
> defensive core against market crash Your defense against market crashes is the fact that you have 30-40 years. The market can (and will) crash over and over and over; it's not a big deal. Forget UTES, XAR, QTUM, and FTWU. > I have CLOZ/CLOX/FSCO/OUNZ as purely a safety net of capital preservation Also totally unnecessary. If this is for 30-40 years from now there's zero need to worry about capital preservation. Time is your friend.
Look man, I'm saying this as someone who's made plenty of terrible trades… this QBTS play is pretty risky and the timing seems off. You're essentially buying at the top of a 1200% run, which is like chasing GME at $400 hoping it would trade sideways. The stock has insane daily volatility that makes range-bound strategies really difficult to execute properly. If you're dead set on playing this, at least wait for a better entry point. This thing needs to come back down to the $8-10 range before it makes any sense to get involved. I know it's painful watching from the sidelines, but buying strength after a move like this usually doesn't end well. When you do get in, size down significantly… maybe 25 shares max to start instead of going all in right away. For the options side, consider selling puts way out of the money around $7-8 strikes to collect premium while staying out of the danger zone. If you somehow get assigned shares, then sell calls 30% or more above your cost basis rather than just a dollar or two higher. You need room for the stock to run without getting your shares called away cheaply. And definitely set some kind of stop loss around $10 - no point in diamond handing this thing into the ground. Honestly though, if you want quantum exposure, just buying the QTUM ETF might be the smarter play here. Individual quantum stocks like this move like penny stocks on steroids, and this particular setup feels like a great way to turn a couple grand into a few hundred bucks really quickly. I've been down that road with other momentum plays and it rarely works out the way you think it will. If this money doesn’t matter to you, send it and see what happens. I’m rooting for you.

All in QTUM in my Roth IRA gonna 10x easy in 5 years
If I were just starting out in life I’d be DCAing like 1% of my savings into QTUM and maybe another 1% into whichever company looks the most promising (I think right now that’s RGTI). I don’t think quantum will be a thing anytime soon, so if my investment were to be generating crazy returns in the next few years I’d probably start selling as it goes up and then put that back in when it drops back to fair value.
Fuck you paper hands. Buy QTUM the ETF
there is a quantum ETF you can invest in for long term, QTUM. just buy the individual stock when they dip for quicker returns though.
How do you feel about QTUM? I occasionally play with individual quantum stocks and it's like hot potato.
Just buy QTUM etf and have all these nonsense average out
Look up QTUM etf outperformed VOO over the past 5 years and it’s already up way higher than VOO this year percentage wise. Everyone says voo because it’s what everyone suggests. Do your own research don’t just be a sheep.
No one say, these many positions are good. Individual stocks can buy if you think company fundamentals are good and you anticipate possible growth in future. On ETFs to cover same industry, SMH or SOXQ semi-conductor QTUM quantum tech XAIX ai tech Btw, I have done analysis on defense and energy industries yet.
What would you suggest then I SPMO actually gives me diversification away from the tech portfolio it has Walmart and Costco among its top holdings which normal S&P500 doesn't have so ig I keep SPMO ? I am ready to remove QTUM since it's a bit too speculative in nature. What else should I change should I remove MAGS as well ? I can add SCHG after removing mags
For a 23-year-old with a long time horizon and regular contributions, your aggressive portfolio makes sense in principle — you’re aiming for high-growth sectors and diversifying beyond your employer’s stock, which is smart. That said, the portfolio is heavily concentrated in U.S. tech and momentum plays, which can be volatile and correlated. You’re missing broader sector and geographical diversification — consider adding a core ETF like VTI (total U.S.) or VXUS (global ex-U.S.) to balance it out. QTUM and MAGS are thematic and niche — fun, but riskier. Overall, solid start, but adding a more stable core could reduce downside risk
Aye bro look youre still up money. My advice tho never full port unless you got a lot of time on the contract or extremely confident and have done your research. I full ported 9500 into 46,900 in 2 weeks this past September but now I am broke as fuck after back to back wins from July to end of December 2024. Quitting options temporarily loading up on QTUM etf that tracks AI and quantum stocks. has outperformed spy consistently.
I am a bagholder in QTUM, Defiance Quantum ETF. Each day, I am getting closer to not being a bag holder. As always, my timing was spot on when to take a flyer. At least I did not buy at the all time high though, my flyer picking is improving.
Hey bud, welcome to the world of investing! There *are* a few ETFs out there that have exposure to quantum computing, but nothing super focused just on that niche yet. You might want to check out something like ARKQ or QTUM, they touch on next-gen tech including quantum, AI, robotics and such. That said, quantum is still pretty early stage. If you're thinking long-term, it's smart to mix in broader ETFs like you’re already doing with the S&P500. I’m also holding a bit of **VTI** and some Canadian flavour with **XIC** and **ZEB**. Keeps things diversified while I let my value picks cook in the background. Hope your portfolio grows like a weed, eh!
QTUM Not investment advice. Honestly, I'm just holding GOOG for this.
I was thinking about trying this same tactic! My play right now is puts on QTUM and RGTI. My theory is in this climate paper hands are gonna dump 20 year in the future tech stocks that are burning money and have no significant earnings.
What about quantum computing as a whole? There’s an ETF to invest into the emerging sector - $QTUM https://preview.redd.it/l3xkd0ghb6re1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0dff9cbfa2344208628675c5478a0b6ec4a2edf
Related: I sold my positions on QTUM and put them into SGOV. I think the bottom still is a ways to go for quantum computing stocks and made more sense to me to hedge there with my investments and take the plunge later.
I hold QTUM and it's way overvalued imo. This dip is sorely needed and I wouldn't be surprised if it continues down to the 50s. It's a long-term investment and I'm DCAing the hell outta it. I treat quantum and AI the way some treated the Internet 30 years ago. It takes time for this tech to realize its potential.
I feel the same, but it'd be nearly impossible to say which companies will thrive, which ones will simply survive, and which ones will either bust or be bought out. It's like the dot com bubble all over again in a sense. So I'm taking a more measured approach and simply invest in QTUM ETF.
There's a lot of debate on how long and if but I don't think people are going to stop working on it any time soon and that could be good for QTUM (and has been).
\* the waters are choppy but it will be back \* just last week the Nvidea boss did the same thing to the quantum sector. The QTUM ETF dipped to the previous low before eventually bouncing back
First off, give yourself a pat on the back for starting to invest at your age. Very few do it, but it is the surest way to financial security in the future. Not a guarantee, but the most likely path if done well. Concerning Q.C.- there is nothing wrong with taking a flyer on some emerging technologies that you believe to hold promise for future growth, whether it's QC, AI, Crypto or some as yet unknown thing. There will be many during your lifetime. The problem is that 10% is far too large to throw at it. There are times to listen to the 'experts'. That time is not 'always'. Remember that in 1977, Ken Olsen, the founder of Digital Equipment Corp., said "there is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home". Today, nearly everyone has a computer in their pocket, on their wrist, in their sunglasses- never mind appliances. Having some degree of expertise does not make one prescient. Use AI to do a bit of research and you'll find that QC is being put to some limited use in places like NASA, and strides are being made in error reduction/detection/correction. Who can say what will happen as AI advances and is applied to fields like this? Some commenters mentioned needing a building full of HVAC next to your house for cooling a quantum computer. Perhaps they forget that it wasn't so long ago that a room full of HVAC and the most high tech computers had a tiny fraction of the computing power that the supercomputer I stick in my back pocket without a second thought has. I understand that it is going to seem pointless, starting with such a small amount, but you \*should\* put maybe 1% in such speculative ideas. However, due to your age and the fantastic head start that gives you, risking $400 or $500, even if you lose every penny (unlikely), is not going to be a life-changing event. But the education you get from it might be. So, if you want to place a small bet on QC, go ahead and do so. I would recommend doing it in a fund such as QTUM though. That will spread your risk a bit. At this stage, even if QC does become the 'next big thing', it is too early to pick the leaders. It was before your time, but the leaders in the early days of internet and networking were not generally the ones that grew into today's giants. Who could have forecast that an online bookstore would be a tech behemoth while the leading producer of networking gear would stagnate for a quarter of a century? A bit more general, if unsolicited, investing advice: learn- a lot! If you want to be a serious investor, I would start by learning HOW to think, not what to think. I recommend listening to every podcast by Howard Marks (Oak Tree Capital Management) that you can get a hold of, and reading some of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's works.
So I will try to keep it short. I am based in UK and want to buy an ETF (Defiance Quantum ETF / QTUM) which I cannot directly buy since its not covered under UK/EU regulations. The only way I could find to trade this position was through a CFD. My aim is to buy and hold the position (hopefully for years) and not really looking to leverage. I know CFDs are not great for long-term investing owing to the daily financing costs. So I am thinking that I long the CFD at 20% margin and put 80% of the notional value in a money market (or a short-term bond) ETF as to offset my CFD costs. Have not really traded CFDs before so not too aware of the pitfalls. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks a lot.
I keep getting ads for QTUM, the "first Quantum Computing ETF. All I think every time I see it is... they seriously missed the boat and memability of ##QUM.
Of the quantum computing stocks that have been flying, without regard to their long term worthiness mind you, I'd recommend looking into IONQ, QUBT, and QBTS. An ETF in this sector that has been profitable for me is QTUM. Of course, many of these stocks took a pounding after Powell's press conference, but they all rebounded fairly well, especially IONQ. I suspect it won't be long before they lay there like a dead fish, like ASTS has for a while now after it's hype run. But then again...who knows?
I think this technology will cause a paradigm shift someday but who knows when. I can't tolerate the risk associated with many of the individual listings but I have decided to go long on the QTUM ETF.
Thanks fam, GL on yours as well. Good looks on the QTUM ticker, might look for entry on that for less volatile exposure if my stop loss hits. Was almost a paper handed bitch at open, glad I held through so far.
I would definitely do that. I have like 50k in the ETF QTUM that holds like 25% of IONQ, QUBT, and RGTI. That's good enough for me, I'm not going in anymore. GL on the trade
I bought 6 more shares of QTUM today to lower my average cost
You are right. The company has only spent $2million on its R&D over the last year. They are not included in the holdings for the QTUM Defiance ETF like IonQ, QBTS, and RGTI.
Not so sure. [QTUM](https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/fund/qtum?mod=search_symbol). All roads lead to Wendy's.
I’ll throw some money at QTUM ETF and call it a day.
Which one you playing? I'm eyeing either the QTUM ETF (5% discount) or QUBT
On Yahoo Finance, you can pick one stock and see what other stocks people are buying. At this point, it is hard to tell where these stocks are heading. You can pick an ETF like QTUM if you don't want volatility.

QTUM or pick a quantum stonk to ride to Valhalla?
QTUM ETF seems like a safe move in this volatile sector.
RGTI, IONQ, QBTS. I'm in RGTI, it's the largest position in the quantum etf QTUM
Well I was thinking about buying QTUM lol
meh.... QTUM is not really specialized in QC. QUBT is not one of their top10 holdings, but Accenture and RadNet are, which makes no sense.
I’m trying a small position in QTUM ETF.
I’ve been on the QTUM ETF for a minute. Gonna be going ham this year
QTUM is one of the fastest growing ETF's so I'd say a decent amount of people anticipate QC being pretty revolutionary.
Yea the good thing about these tickers, is they're all the same sector, but they all have their own lanes. I think I'm going to keep my positions where they're at now, and secure profit here and there to put into the QTUM etf for the long hall
Just buy up QTUM and call it a day
The Defiance Quantum Computing ETF (QTUM) has gained significant attention recently, surpassing $400 million in assets under management and achieving over 40% year-to-date growth as of December 2024. However, despite this growth, companies like IonQ, Rigetti, and D-Wave reported continuing losses in their recent earnings, indicating potential financial challenges within the quantum computing sector. * [Defiance Quantum Computing ETF (QTUM) Surpasses ...](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/defiance-quantum-computing-etf-qtum-164700585.html) * [Defiance Quantum Computing ETF (QTUM) Surpasses $400 Million. $QTUM ...](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/12/13/2996959/0/en/Defiance-Quantum-Computing-ETF-QTUM-Surpasses-400-Million-QTUM-YTD-Performance-40.html) ^(Hey there, I'm not a human \(sometimes I am :\) \).

I consider it a safe bet on the sector, as it concludes bigger players like IBM, Texas Inst., Google etc. that have a diversified business so you have some downside protection if Quantum Computing fails to deliver within the next 5 years. There are most of the pure QC companies, but there is also MSTR and I don't understand why. Above all, I believe that Semiconductors are an established industry, Quantum Computing not yet. So the two must be treated differently in a portfolio. QTUM is not widely known because only this year people have started to talk about quantum computing. Long IONQ.
The ETF — QTUM is probably the safest play if you want the exposure to the up and coming companies in the quantum sector. But you’re not going to get “NVDA-like” results. IMO, your top 3 are IONQ, RGTI, and QBTS. But I would trade IONQ right now, it is ridiculously expensive with a P/S ratio over 200. Rigetti and QBTS are also getting price with the recent run-ups, but I still believe they have room to move — and both have just recently passed near or thru the critical $5 threshold, which gives a lot more institutional buyers access to them. There is a good chance there will be some consolidation in pricing as this sector is over-heated. (Like the rest of the market since the election). So expect a downturn at some point. But I disagree with those saying it’s too early for quantum. The gains being made it this space are happening more quickly than most people expected. Just look at AI….no one expected that market to explode overnight until it did with the commercial release of ChatGPT. There is a reason Google, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, and many others are spending billions in this space. No one wants to be left behind and playing catch-up when the “code to quantum” is cracked. And right now — some of the best tech and patents are coming from RGTI, IONQ, and QBTS. All three stand to be big winners in the next 3/5/10 years.
Want to enter it but we don’t have the QTUM etf in Sweden yet :/
I bought the QTUM ETF (and will probably DCA more into it, over time). I am much more confident betting on the whole sector than any specific name, especially since I don't understand the tech. all that well yet. There are some established names in it as well, like Honeywell and nVidia. And, it pays a small dividend. It's not going to have crazy gains like a pure-play like RGTI, but it's also not going to drop to 0 either if their solution doesn't pan out.
I’m holding RGTI and the QTUM etf
It might take a few more years, but quantum computing could be the next big thing. In addition to the big boys (IBM, Google, etc), smaller stocks RGTI, QBTS, QUBT, and ETF QTUM. I'm taking a chance on Jan 2027 LEAPS with QBTS and RGTI. Was looking at Jan 2026, but the premiums for an additional year were pretty low. I'd love to hear anybody's thoughts on any of those stocks or other QCs.
Technology is advancing exponentially. I think there's going to be plenty of new public companies whose valuation will skyrocket. A good sector to watch is Quantum Computing. To find the tickers check out the ETF (QTUM).

I'd guess it would be added at the next reconstitution. QTUM is the only choice though, and has a solid history too, especially given the unknowns of quantum computing.
Invest into $QTUM ETF if you want to invest into the top holdings of quantum stocks. The high volatility of IONQ + RGTI + D wave are all just too wild. At least we have some solid IBM and other top quantum guns in the mix.
Ai can be used in 80% of the cases instead of quantum. Quantum will remain niche for the next 20 years. There’s a great article on MIT Review that reviews the bear and bull case. Like others have said, the entire sectors price action is 100% hype. No one know the winners and how it will play, you are better putting some money in QTUM etf instead of chasing the meme stocks.
Tracking the "Quantum" ETF - it's up over 40% YTD. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/QTUM.
PSCT is "Invesco S&P SmallCap Information Technology ET", but it has a fairly pitiful history. QTUM is the best bet for quantum computing, but you probably would do better with just holding rgti/qubt/qbts/ionq. SMR with tech-ish other stuff can be found in NUKZ and VOLT. There are lots of AI ones that target small caps more but I like BAI for AI.
If you want some decent diversification I highly suggest $QTUM
I got in on the ETF QTUM just for that reason
Quantum computing has a lot of money invested from major players down to startups. The science is real but very complicated. However, it’s one of the leading areas of research in physics both academically and in industry. Eventually all the work will come to fruition, but the timeframe is still uncertain. I have QTUM etf because I believe in the industry long term, but evaluating individual companies in QC is sketchy atm. Maybe companies can have useful results in the meantime, but we probably have at least 5-10 years until there’s something available to use.
But QTUM ETF contains a lot of companies not being "quantum" at all ... Pay attention to "Quantum washing"!
I got QTUM a long time ago and slowly came around to it. Solid return, but nothing that shoots for the moon for now. It's more pure Quantum Computing with minor AI where it relevantly ties in. I'm not actively DCA'ing, just holding.
I like this thread. Cool to see how others divy up their funds. I personally have the following: NVDA TSLA RGTI QBTS IONQ AMZN QTUM I should probably diversify my sectors, but I'm also rebuilding my account from a $45k loss I took in 2022. Portfolio was literally down 98% on some WsB stuff, but I learned from my mistakes, took a step back, and executed a whole new strategy, and am now only -16% "all time". Up 110% over the last 3 months, and 40% for the year, give or take.
Thanks for your input. You mentioned quantum. What do you think about QTUM ETF? Ive recently bought some and want more. Im definitely going to buy more GOOG in the near term too.
I'm pretty sure everyone with common sense knew Kamala didn't stand a chance brother. Had she did her thing at the border, she would've. But that's beside the point. Don't feel rushed to hop on any of the quantum plays. Still in the infant stage. DCA brother, DCA. If you want, add QTUM to your list too. It's the quantum ETF. I got in a little high(mid $50s), but it was up to like $72 last I looked!
Been in IONQ since $7, and RGTI I averaged down heavily when it fell under $1. Currently holding 10k shares each. And am not selling until we see major breakthroughs in the sector. Also holding 500 shares of QTUM as well.
While you regards are here invest in QTUM too
All this stuff is experimental, and tomorrow everything could change to the opposite direction, this is tech. People that chase hype always lose in the long run. You can buy QTUM etf to play the quantum game. Be careful though, people that chase hype always lose in the long run.
For anyone who is struggling with this being a new space: an ETF called QTUM from Defiance has been good to me over time. Full disclosure I bought it when I didn't know anything about anything, but through the course of a full year of learning about broad investing and risk parity, it was still something I held onto and didn't get rid of. Finally coming around to re-thinking it. I'm not as comfortable overplaying tech as I used to be, but at this point I think quantum computing might be the age of AI's sleeper hit.
I've had a little in QTUM for a long while and have been pondering what to do with it. Tick on the "pros for keeping".
For biotech, pretty heavy, but getting lighter by the day. I just bought the QTUM ETF today, which is probably too late, but it has a lot of non-quantum names in it as well, so we'll see. Like I said, just regarded enough...
Because of Quantum Computing hype I just want to wave a caution flag - be careful when buying QTUM ETF. It is supposed to be quantum computing ETF and I bought it for that (sold everything last week). Only later did I come to know that it is not managed and there are random companies. Some companies have stopped investing in Quantum Computing e.g Alibaba and some like Airbus seem to have very little to do with quantum computing afaik. So take a look and make sure if it is the right thing for you. I sold everything I had because I realised I could be efficient if I invest into some of those companies individually when they don't even remove companies that are not in quantum computing space anymore.
I like QTUM. Been solid for the time I've sat on it.
# Options or stocks if bulish on a niche/industry? Hello, I'm relatively new to investing. I held VOO for a while before needing to sell and that's all my experience. I'm really getting interested in the quantum computing space and would like to put some money into it. I have close to 20k in savings and thinking of investing something around 3k into IONQ and QTUM. My two questions are: 1. Is this enough money to get into it? 2. Should I buy stock directly or some call options with a long expiration date and conservative strike? Any advice is well received!
Nice call-out. Been looking for some comments on recent IONQ integration with Nvidia CUDA framework. QC is frothing up. Seeing research showing QLTSM outperforming LTSM machine learning by 10% with fewer data points also Chinese just broke 22bit encryption with D-Wave QBTS. Those of you looking for etf can try QTUM. If you see any links on this, please share (CUDA feedback). Thanks!
I have QTUM in my long term account but also think there's room for some of these other quantum stocks lagging behind to run like GBTS and RGTI
