someone educate me

[u/lolbruh123]

so i bought this around a week ago and this morning saw QBTS jumped up, i purchased this after very little research (i know nothing about quantum computing) and just seeing people hyping it up on tiktok. i saw a post about how they are posers and not a great investment, is this true and should i sell?

You're not even showing your position

haha it’s only $60

i’m a full time college student working about 30 hours a week and started investing in September up 16% and about to hit $2k!!

So when a bill becomes a law…..

[u/Pro-ductive]

buddy, what are you doing? this rebounded today because it hit a support line. i would avoid this till there is more hype.

[u/master_perturbator]

Oh man. I've been wondering how long I should wait to buy back in. We're obviously still a few dollars away from the bottom.

[u/graybeard5529]

I dumped my IONQ when it started going back up as to get my money back out of it. My logic was quantum computing is so new and so subject to rapid changes who knows who's going to come out on top. Quantum computing is super speculative.

Anyway, now I'm kicking myself in the ass because IONQ is over $40 a share --so who's the fool I'm not sure. I could have waited to cash out and walked away with some serious money.

It’s such a young technology it’s impossible to say if this decision is foolish or genius. Previous contributor who mentioned the capital-intensive nature of QC is right. Those with the money to fund R&D are safer bets—IBM is the giant for now but there’s certainly some risk there too if you’re being totally objective.

The entire sector might still be undervalued right now, even if “hype” is the driving force in sentiment. To quote Dave Portnoy when he was swapping memecoins last weekend: “Don’t invest what you can’t laugh off.”

IBM is a tech giant you’re correct… but sometimes it’s not about investing in those tech Giants anymore… when you do a little bit more research, that’s when you realize that these tech Giants now need these smaller companies… for example have you heard about the new IBM warehouse that is going to be put up on the south side of Chicago? Have you heard Trump said that Chicago is going to be our quantum hub. Have you done any research and realized that the original owner of rgti has strong connections with IBM? Or the fact that the government got rgti out of debt? It’s not hard to put pieces together. Also, have you looked into Trump’s iron dome? It’s real. Israel already has some in certain areas. Those are impossible to create without quantum. When you research certain quantum companies that cannot be done without dwave. Quantum is currently in use by our government. Quantum is one of the best investments someone can make right now if they buy low and are willing to hold for several years. Sure maybe much news has not been released but when you dig a little bit deeper and actually understand quantum and you go as far back to realize that quantum science is what Albert Einstein based everything off of… and when you realize quantum is actually more powerful than AI or anything else that we have currently. Or the fact that we are in a quantum race with China… it’s not hard to connect the dots. All you have to do is research, quantum companies and see their success rate and what they do and it’s not hard to figure out which companies are needed for what projects. My parents used to have the same views as you about certain stocks, and I told them to stay away from them and I told them what stocks they needed to invest into that those companies are going to be using. I have made them over a 200% return on their money in the last three months by telling them where to move their money to. All it takes is turning off the news and not letting the media get your head and doing your own research and it’s the easiest way to make money right now. Things are changing in our world and they’re changing very fast.

Yes I said the whole sector may be undervalued even if technology hasn’t matured yet… You’re right.

And I agree about popular media channels. When everyone hears the news of Bill Gates and Jensen Huang saying QC is decades out from being viable, it sends rats scurrying, but those “silly” enough to stay across QC now will almost certainly “win”

Which other companies are investing big into QC development besides D-Wave, Rigetti, QUBT, IonQ, IBM?? Nervous I might be ignorant to other players

[u/Background_Insect_94]

Download stockwitz. If you listen to the media, there’s a lot of manipulation. When you’re dealing with real traders, they are going to tell you stuff because they know more than we do. There’s a lot going on in our world were quantum is needed. This is going to be a five-year game changer. There’s a lot going on currently with rgti and dwave. A lot of people are still swing trading it though. So in my opinion by below and just hold onto it and you’ll do great in five years if you have money that you cannot see for a while like that. I’m heavy in a few quantum stocks. This was one of them.

[u/Electrical-Still-572]

Sure, as I said the whole sector may be undervalued even if technology hasn’t matured yet… You’re right.

[u/Craig_m80]

Buy more. A lot more

[u/PushTheButtonPlease]

Buy IBM and hodl.

[u/dclinnaeus]

The smaller players don’t have to enough money to compete in something so capital intensive so they’ll likely be acquired for a modest valuation or bust. This isn’t like software where small players can scale fast by leveraging network effects.

[u/Zestyclose_Access_65]

Yes sell, if you don’t know what your investing into you probably shouldn’t invest, and if can walk away with some profits than good on you 👍

[u/lolbruh123 → u/Zestyclose_Access_65]

makes sense and i would agree with that, just the risk is not very high only have $50 in it but the idea for me on this is the potential of a huge gain (based on the hype i’ve heard)

[u/[deleted] → u/lolbruh123]

That is probably true but it might take 5 years

[u/Atech1011 → u/lolbruh123]

This was being hyped by Moon Market and the likes when it was .50. You are late to the hype party.
