IonQ Inc (IONQ) Options

Konaploinks & others:
I am still a believer in IONQ, but I trimmed a few months ago. If you're trying to get uninformed folks to buy-in without knowing what's going on, so you can pump-n-dump, it's shameful. Facts: 'Neutral' atom tech is showing a better 'pace,' in obtaining quantum dominance, scaling at 48 logical cubits....compared to 'trapped ion' tech, in which IONQ platform is based, scaling at 36 logical cubits....
Gotta stop with the over-hype boys....
And you have NO idea where this company might be in 8-10 years....let along 8-10 months....
To all prospective investors: DO YOUR HOMEWORK.....and be careful of those who push hard...those guys are probably underwater.....JMO

Is the bottom in??

The OBV put in a low the middle of June but when the stock made a new low the first of August, the OBV continued to raise.

I believe today is a good day to buy a few

Great day in the morning! But of course doubling our earnings is not enough now. Lol. Now we have to triple them lol. What a bunch of b s

Yep North. I’ve see em. Everyone should watch them. As more and more people start to understand Quantum computing more and more people will be investing. The word is getting out. It won’t be long now til Quantum everything will be in and on the news.

There are at least 2 YouTube videos featuring Professor Kaku and Neil deGrasso Tyson that discuss Kaku’s book that you highlight. Worth a couple of hours, IMO.

A MUST READ for any IonQ investors.
QUANTUM SUPREMACY BY Michio Kaku. If you read it, you will invest.

When doing my d d on Ionq I discovered that Bill Gates, Marc Benioff and Michael Dell were all investors in IonQ . Ionq has the first dedicated quantum computer factory. 100,000 sq.ft. , and also with data centers in Maryland, Seattle and Switzerland that they lease out . Others are in the planning stages. Imagine getting into Msft or Apple when their first factories to mass produce computers were coming on line. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m not missing out on this. I think news of a hostile takeover attempt is near. I hope they have a huge poison pill in place. Anyone know? Ever hear them mention it? Watch what guys like Gates,Benioff and Dell are doing. That’s where the money is.

From Ionq website
By 2023, IonQ will deploy modular quantum computers small enough to be networked together in a datacenter, and by 2025, we expect to achieve broad quantum advantage.

At IonQ, we're working to build the world’s most powerful quantum computers to solve the world’s hardest problems. Our recently announced 32 qubit system is expected to feature 22 Algorithmic Qubits, and this system is but the first of three new systems already in development. In short, we’ll be reaping the benefits of quantum much sooner than most would think.

“Much sooner than most would think “. Me… Imagine that folks. Much sooner! As quantum computers get more powerful with more useable qbits more complex problems will be solved much faster then faster and faster and faster.. It just stands to reason.

Yep. Knowledge is power. If investing in ionq you should be reading everything you can about quantum computing . Stay on top of recent advances. Search it often. I do.

This is about your research, gut instincts and the discipline of being patient which many do not possess...they want you to sell.

Ionq will be taken over or sold way before then. Time waits for no one. In a word. Cuda-Q is here and now. Other advancements will be happening very quickly now thru Cuda-Q and other super classic computers and Quantum computer's married in a hybrid system. The pace of future advancements will be mind boggling. Problems that currently take super computers years to solve, will be solved in days. Hard to imagine I know. But believe it. You won’t have to wait 10 years. In 10 years we’ll be saying. “ Beam me up Scotty” Stay tuned.

Cuda-Q and IonQ. That’s the ticket. I’d bet Jensen is buying in along with Gates, Benioff and Dell so far. Jensen just sold millions of $$$ worth of nvda stock. He’s putting it somewhere. My guess is IonQ. Other biggies probably sneaking in too.

Same. My car is nearly 12 years old. I keep expenses low so I can maintain a healthy position in companies like IonQ. I predict we see a massive price increase in about 2026/2027, when quantum tech really grabs hold of the public consiousness. Then things will cool down for a year or two and start going up again, until IonQ is a mature company in the 2032-2035 range. I expect people that sell in the next 3 years will want walk off a cliff when they see the share price in the 2030s and realize they could have been not just wealthy, but rich. I am not touching my shares until full maturation of this company. I choose to stay strong.

Instead of owning new car that comes with monthly payments, I drive a well maintained 10 -year-old beater ( Japanese of course) to be able to play in the IONQ game.

Stay the course... the trapped method is the future. Like Jack states, IONQ is in a true league of their own. They are rapidly evolving into full commercial mode with deep roots in the coding community which is the key to the liftoff. They are just polishing their tech with the current phase of continued advancements. They will satisfy the chase. Things will be very much more in focus 1 year from now.

Couldn’t agree more, Jack. This is a special one and I’m in it big! Seeing tech companies like AMD and NVDA significantly increase their market cap over the last decade by focusing on R&D and cutting edge technology makes this an exciting play. Trapped ion is the future of quantum computing and their roadmap, leadership team, and partnerships scream value everywhere.

There is nothing to say. IonQ is kicking ass and taking names. You know this is a legit company because we already have a few loser bashers who are shorting the stock, making negative comments on this board for no other reason than to try to sow discontent.

This is an accumulate and hold for about 8-10 years play. I don't follow the daily price fluctuations. Unless something major happens, I don't follow the day to day.

BOING! Looks like shorties covered. Smart move shorties

Where did everyone go? It’s so quiet in here, I’d swear I could hear a mongoose pissin on a guava leaf in a hurricane.

April 14 is World Quantum Day, an annual event to celebrate how we use the science of atoms and particles—the building blocks of the universe—to advance science and technology.

Scientists and engineers already leverage the strange and interesting properties of quantum mechanics to advance our technology. Our understanding of quantum mechanics helps us design the semiconductors used in cars, phones, and other technology. GPS systems rely on the quantum mechanics of ultra-precise atomic clocks.

Many more advancements in quantum technology are yet to come. Secure communication through metropolitan-scale entangled quantum networks, quantum machine clusters for high-end computation, and quantum sensors that enhance intracellular sensing and mapping are just some of the predicted developments.

Maybe IONQ has seen the low for the remainder of the year

Exactly Mr.H. I see back to 21.00 and before years end. Michael Dell, Marc Benioff and Bill Gates all saw the potential and invested in Ionq. Once these newer quantum computers are being pumped out in our factory next year the stock price will go nuts. Everyone will want to get in early as the years to come will make Msft and Apple combined look like peanuts. I met Steve Jobs in 1998. Never in a million years did I think that Apple stock would go this high. I’m not missing out on Ionq as I know it will be in the hundreds of dollars in the years to come. We’re all sittin pretty.

IONQ's balance sheet was a major selling point for me. Out of nowhere it will be back at $10 plus mark.

One good p r from the co and we’re 8.25. I can feel it coming. Our BoD is on it. Everything will be moving very fast from here on out now. AI and Quantum is the future and we’re in at the forefront. This is like getting in on Msft or Apple as they were setting up their first dedicated factory. We have the first dedicated 100,000 sq ft quantum computer factory in the world. All aboard before the word gets out to the masses. Soon the word “quantum “ will be all over the news trumping the words A I. Quantum in conjunction with AI and llm’s and m l will lead us to the 22nd century. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

From a TA perspective the trend is bearish
One can day or swing trade this stock but trading up to a down staircase is tricky
I have no crystal ball, much less an emerald ball that will determine when the bearish trend reverses
And professional asset managers become net buyers

I for 1 will be adding to my 4k share position monthly. This corp has the brains behind it. This team will be making a lot of advances almost monthly imo. If you follow along, you will see. New investors should start their d d by reading Michio Kaku’s Quantum Supremacy. A great read and fairly easy for non quantum physicists. Lol. I understood it. So anyone can. lol. Read up.

Dig into the Memristor. 4th electrical component. ..and how it will change quantum computing. A lot will happen in the next year. Those who do their d d and hang tuff will be hugely rewarded.

You speak wise words...

Bull = IONQ

Nice. Exactly. When doing my d d on Ionq I discovered that Bill Gates, Marc Benioff and Michael Dell were investors. Ionq has the first dedicated quantum factory. 100,000 sq.ft. with data centers in Maryland, Seattle and Switzerland . Others are in the planning stages. Some big boys are going to scoop them up soon imo. Good luck.

Purchase a few Quantum stocks, some small, some big. One or two will hit big. I'm looking for consultations or buyouts in some of these companies. Either way, it's all ground-floor opportunity, and 2025 should see the start of massive interest in these stocks.

COLLEGE PARK, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2024--IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing industry, today announced the delivery of its innovative ion trap to its European quantum data center in QuantumBasel. The delivery marks an important milestone in the manufacturing of the company’s most powerful and scalable system – IonQ Forte Enterprise – which will scale to 35 algorithmic qubits (#AQ) and be capable of considering more than 34 billion different possibilities simultaneously.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240813717294/en/

European businesses, government agencies, and research institutes will benefit from enterprise-grade direct access to IonQ’s systems when developing novel applications for highly complex problems in fields like AI, finance, and chemistry. IonQ specialists working out of the company’s Basel, Switzerland headquarters will be onsite to receive the trap and continue the build and commissioning of the system.

“Today's delivery of our first overseas ion trap marks a critical step in our partnership with QuantumBasel, and our commitment to building best-in-class quantum computers that meet the requirements of performance, scalability, and enterprise-grade solutions,” said Peter Chapman, President and CEO of IonQ. “This achievement brings us one step closer to providing direct access to IonQ’s high-performance systems to organizations across Europe.”

Announced last year, the partnership between IonQ and QuantumBasel leverages the strengths of both organizations to drive innovation in quantum technology. As part of this collaboration, QuantumBasel will offer uptownBasel – an international center near Basel that houses enterprises, research institutes, startups, and universities – direct access to the #AQ 35 Forte Enterprise system. IonQ will also deliver a future #AQ 64 system through this partnership.

“The arrival of IonQ's ion trap and the progress the teams have made to construct our first quantum system is a testament to the strong partnership between IonQ and QuantumBasel," said Damir Bogdan, CEO of QuantumBasel. "We are excited about the potential this technology brings to our commercial and research endeavors.”

“IonQ's quantum computer on the Swiss Schorenareal in Arlesheim is an important investment in the future," said Dr. Thomas Staehelin, investor, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of uptownBasel Corp. "We look forward to the innovative developments that will emerge from this collaboration.”

While other quantum hardware developers use "synthetic" quantum bits (qubits) to form the basis of their quantum systems, IonQ’s systems are built around naturally occurring qubits: individual atoms. These atoms are turned into ions and ‘trapped’ in 3D space where lasers do everything from initial preparation of atoms to final readout to deliver accurate results. The speed, accuracy, and scalability of IonQ’s trapped ion systems make them an ideal platform for both research and enterprise applications.

My bones say . Boing ! $$$$$

7.22. Schzam !Andy!

Double clicked send by accident

Why are you replying to your own posts? Kind of weird. Just use the "new post" option.

Nobody? on the dead cat bounce?

Nobody? on the dead cat bounce?

The QUANTUM BOOM is coming! Get in now. This is like getting in on Nvda at 7.00. Read up. Education yourself. Read Quantum Supremacy by Michio Kaku for starters. Read all Ionq pr’s. Search quantum computing etc . Then decide for yourself. This is coming. Quantum hooked up to A I and Machine Learning and all the Large Language Models out there will be so huge. Way bigger than the dot com boom It’s a race to 1,000 qbits . Ionq is in the lead. No password will be safe and or secure. But Ionq is working on a new quantum security method that far surpasses any old legacy security measures. Read up on QKD. Quantum Key Distribution. Call me if you need me I’ll be here.

Or a fat finger? Or mm’s messing with us? Mkt is soooo crooked. All these crooks need jail time. But they all cover for each other. From Pelosi on down is a cesspool of corruption. Go figure. But I think Ionq will prevail. This will get National attention soon. Once we’re in National News. Katie bar the door. It will be like getting in on Nvda last year at 39.00. Knowledge is power. Hang in there. The shorts know this. They will not control this much longer. Once the masses are educated on quantum, it’s over for them. …… .com boom ? lol. I predict a QUANTUM BOOM! Remember where you heard it first. Aloha shorties! lol

Wow! What made us jump to 7.52 ? Was that a huge buy?

I agree. But don’t go Hog Wild. Just a little wild lol. I think something like “QUANTUM IS COMING ” , and then Ionq.com underneath it , would be enough to start. I think it would pic most people’s interest to search Ionq.com and read up about it. Start giving people a taste of what’s coming, and to get them all talking about it.

I am sure that type of marketing is on its way. Little early yet, in my opinion. Probably next year when they achieve AQ64. Marketing costs money. Companies can really shoot themselves in the foot when they go hog-wild with spending too early like that.
