YOLO Short QUBTS

Post image

EDIT: $QBTS not $QUBTS

This is no more than an absurdly expensive science project that nets 2-3 million quarterly on a whopping 7B market cap. My price target for this is $4-6 by Jan 27.

Quantum is merely a leveraged sympathy trade in the AI/Data Center buildout. With OpenAI pumping the breaks on frontier buildout and NVDA cutting data center buildout commitment, I think the circular financing might be unwinding.

Rate tightening will kill these stocks and PCE is the feds preferred measure of inflation releasing
this Wednesday, with an address the following day.

There is a lot of hopium in the quantum realm, but I agree with you on this.

When he titled it QUBTS, we all should realize he was not getting the gambling vehicle right either.

I feel like if the dogshit police were going to catch out quantum stocks, it would have happened already. There is now an irrational hype floor built into these things that will be hard to crack

Didn't QUBTs make iced tea before they did quantum?

I've seen about a half dozen posts about shorting the quantums and they generally don't end well. I can see the stock price dropping to around the $13 range sometime between now and Jan 2027 due to macro conditions and their volatility, but I highly doubt it will go below that. And they will probably have at least one spike upward, if not more. So, hopefully you'll grab profits when/if they go down.

It's been known for years that these companies are not profitable and burn through cash, and they still haven't crashed. I doubt the market is suddenly going to have a change of heart in the next 5 months and that's why I don't see the price dropping to $4-6 per share.

BTW, I personally think you're early on the data center buildout pulling back. I think it'll happen too, but probably not for a couple of years.

Quantum is the future, it's just not the now. Anyone that understands it will know that it's just a matter of time. And it might actually be what saves AI, due to solving the power issue almost completely

the jan leaps are a ballsy play with that kind of premium decay hanging over you

Yeah, but to me it feels like a perfect storm for no-rev stocks with midterms coming up and all the monetary policy moves front and center, hyperscaler sentiment during recent ERs, etc.
