Quantum-computing stocks such as IBM, Rigetti and INFQ look likely to be regretted misses within a few weeks, so buying them blindly now and on any weakness makes sense, a view open to change. x.comÂ

IonQ, Rigetti and Infleqtion are the next stocks Trump is effectively calling, now that he says the US aims to have a quantum computer for scientific discovery by 2028. His earlier signals preceded big gains in Intel, Dell and Micron. x.comÂ
AI is accelerating quantum computing by attacking its real bottleneck, real-time error correction, a pattern-recognition task deep learning excels at. DeepMind's AlphaQubit cuts errors 30% versus the best fast classical decoder, and Nvidia is productizing the layer with Ising, NVQLink and CUDA-Q as the core toll road. Alphabet, IBM and Microsoft add lab exposure, Rigetti and IonQ pure-play upside, and FormFactor, MKS and Keysight sell shovels. AI may also eat quantum's early chemistry uses. … Show more
Rigetti Computing and Infleqtion are too speculative to own because neither has a moat yet. Bernstein flags both as high risk-reward quantum plays, but its own note says it is far too early to declare a winner and that different modalities have distinct strengths, so a new architecture could make their hardware obsolete. Quantum is also highly capital-intensive: Rigetti's roughly $590 million in cash is a runway being burned, not operating profit. For a quality investor, both are a pass for now. … Show more
Most rivals cannot match these 12 stocks' moats. Micron is one of three HBM titans; Circle backs USDC; ASML alone makes EUV; Planet Labs has the largest Earth-imaging fleet. MongoDB is developers' choice; Affirm embeds at Amazon and Shopify; Eli Lilly leads GLP-1; SoFi spans loans, banking and investing. On gains via CloudTec; AST SpaceMobile builds phone satellites; Rigetti offers cloud quantum computing; Spotify, the largest music streamer, adds podcasts and audiobooks. x.com x.com x.com x.com … Show more
AI, networks and power give these 12 stocks some of the decade's biggest tailwinds. Micron is one of three big HBM makers; Samsara connects fleets; IonQ builds quantum computers; Ciena supplies optics; GE Vernova and Eaton serve power demand; Dell ships AI servers. Netflix, the largest paid streamer, adds ads; Coupang, Korea's largest e-commerce platform, delivers same-day; Airbnb, the largest short-term rental marketplace, adds services; Arm enters data centers; CrowdStrike secures enterprises. … Show more
The Shortlist targets companies it tags as pump-and-dumps, industry bubbles, constrained-float cases, potential fraud or overleveraged. Its Oct. 23 realistic-value estimates imply large downside, including 79% for ReAlloy, 53% for Critical Metals, 60% for Infleqtion and 62% for Quantinuum. x.comÂ
Power scarcity and specialized technology could help these six under-$30 stocks create generational wealth over the next decade. MARA is buying a gas plant; IREN has over 5 GW secured for AI growth. Oklo aims to turn spent fuel into reactor supply, while Nano Nuclear's portable microreactors could reach remote sites if they work. Rigetti builds quantum chips in-house and has a $100 million Commerce Department letter of intent. Navitas makes chips that reduce power waste in AI data centers. x.com … Show more
Quantum computing is becoming a strategic policy priority, with the latest executive order adding to capital already flowing into the theme. Pure-play hardware names IonQ, Infleqtion, Rigetti, D-Wave and Quantum Computing, plus diversified anchor IBM, stand to gain. It is still early, but momentum keeps building. x.comÂ
IonQ, Rigetti Computing and D-Wave Quantum have no business model, so their cash flows can't be predicted. They are awful companies whose appeal rests on speculation, and that should die out when the market turns. x.com x.com x.comÂ
IBM should re-rate over the medium to long term on two fronts: quantum computing, where the U.S. government is taking a stake, and a broader software re-rating as software is no longer seen purely as an AI loser. IBM also has a strong customer base and channels, with deep customer stickiness. x.comÂ
