To The Moon

🌟🌟🌟The recent sell off of Quantum Computing stocks certainly sent jitters to the markets.  Is this the end of Quantum Computing Stocks?  Well not quite but certainly a reality check.  The recent  Quantum Crash is less of a death knell and more of a sobering reminder that moonshots come with meteors. 

What happened?

General Market Volatility : Broader market uncertainty, including fears about credit health of regional banks and potential trade wars, has created a negative market momentum that is also impacting tech and chip stocks. 

Profit Taking :  After massive runs in the past year, it is natural for investors to take profits especially when market conditions become uncertain.

Insider Selling:  Recent insider selling in some quantum companies such as D-Wave Quantum$D-Wave Quantum Inc.(QBTS)$  , IONQ $IONQ Inc.(IONQ)$  and Rigetti Computing$Rigetti Computing(RGTI)$  , has contributed to the downturn.

Quantum Computing Financing : The recent announcement by Quantum Computing $Quantum Computing Inc.(QUBT)$  of a large private placement, while raising significant capital, also sent its own stock price tumbling, adding to the negative sentiment.

Why Invest in Quantum Computing Stocks?

Investing in quantum computing stocks is like planting seeds in a forest that has not yet grown but could one day reshape the entire landscape.  Here are the reasons why some investors are leaning on, despite volatility and long timelines:

Quantum Is A Once in A Lifetime Generation Tech Shift :

Quantum Computing isn't just a faster computer.  It is a fundamentally different way of processing information.

Quantum Computing can:

Crack encryption that classical computers can't touch.

Simulate molecules for drug discovery in hours instead of years.

Optimise logistics and supply chains at scales unimaginable today. 

This is not an incremental innovation.  It is a new computational paradigm shift.

The Market Potential Is Massive :

The global quantum computing market is projected to grow from USD 1.44 billion in 2025 to USD 16.2 billion by 2034, with some forecasts stretching to USD 100 billion or more.

Industries that are poised for disruption include pharmaceuticals, finance, aerospace, energy and cybersecurity.

Quantum + AI = Exponential Potential:

Quantum Computing could supercharge Artificial Intelligence by:

Accelerating machine learning model training. 

Enhancing pattern recognition and optimisation. 

Enabling breakthroughs in Robotics and Autonomous Systems. 

Companies like Nvidia and Tesla are already exploring this intersection, betting that quantum computing will be the next frontier after AI. 

Early Exposure to Moonshot :

Investing in pure play quantum computing companies like IONQ, Rigetti or D-Wave is akin to buying into the Internet companies in early 1990s or AI in 2015.  The risks are high but so is the potential upside even if just 1 company achieves quantum advantage at scale.

Diversification Through ETFs and Big Tech :

If individual stocks feel too volatile, investors can gain exposure through:

Quantum focused ETFs like Defiance QTUM $Defiance Quantum ETF(QTUM)$   

Tech Giants like Microsoft, IBM, Google and Amazon - all of whom are building quantum capabilities behind the scenes.

Quantum Crash? 

Not quite.  The market just fast forwarded through irrational exuberance phase and landed in the prove it phase.  

If you still believe that quantum computing will reshape the world by 2035, this could be your second chance to enter at saner valuations. 

Concluding Thoughts :

Quantum Computing investing is not about consensus.  It is about conviction.  It is not for the faint hearted investor nor short term investor.  It is for those investors who believe in the arc of innovation bending toward the extraordinary.  It is a way to achieve multi baggers with a long term horizon.
