Stock Market Discussion -- started 03/06/2018 -- updated daily !!!

There was a day there were a great group of contributors offering great ideas/insights. That has clearly waned dramatically.

Our author seems committed to jump starting this dying trend.

Whoever is still out there trolling, whatever. Here's my challenge. Give us your most disappointing holding(s), that you have a strong confliction they have a strong future.

I'll start with:

LAC. GM backed Lithium mining. Thacker Pass. Waiting to double.

I'm very much interested in Gene/DNA therapy and Quantum.

DNA. Well backed and well beaten. Been on a slow climb last couple months.

CRSP. The future. DNA/Gene manipulation is coming. Once they merge Quantum power with healthcare this arena is just waiting to explode.

QaaS. Quantum computing in the cloud. This will be years before it hits your desktop but allowing companies the Quantum power without the need for the actual hardware. Freight Train coming right at you.

Let's go boy's!!

MADder thank you!!

I have a watchlist and once i dip my toes in to these positions, i will share them one by one.

i have to have my own skin in the game before i share them otherwise i am just a phony, no?

if i share it, it means i have my own cash in that mofo.

see you soon !!

% Trailing stop loss Chuck, once you get overweight in any investment. Quantum has been Xmas X20 here, but it's years before real monetization.

Not exactly sure what that means. But I do re-balance, when I get over-weighted on a certain stock.

I take a logical approach. At the moment, one thing sticks out to me. Don't want to be held down by traditional holdings that are stuck in the mud.

[Madison]

Wow, I bought some RGTI. Will see how long the Quantum computer talk continues.

RGTI Just stupid. I already sold 40% of my holdings about 2 weeks ago. My CB like $3. Trading like $19 or so. Talk about a momentum tragedy?? Check out the 3 mo chart.

IONQ and AARQ continue to do well. They're in my portfolio for sure.

Gotta consider these technologies. It's all about staying ahead of the Cost of Capital. And so many stocks are lagging in that regard now.

letting things settle for a bit here before i unleash hell.

unlike jan 2024 when the market (in my mind) was clearly going to be bullish in the face of so many pundits saying the opposite.

right now? a bit different. shaky uncertain market, trying to get its legs for another run up or (gulp)

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I have been in IONQ for a while.

Just got into AARQ today. But what a day!

Most of my holding were down today. These were two exceptions.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Look at RGTI today. I don't know what more I can do help!!

Dave Righetti? The old south-paw?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Up 33% TODAY. Hopefully you got closer to recommend circa12/18.

Don't think about it for your personal computer. 10-20 years away. AI and other cloud apps will ride the wave.

47% last look. SAD I'm a conservative who has taken 40% off.

[Madison]

Watch DNA , been slowly advancing for a month or so. Big $$ investors.

[Madison]

Few friends and luckily myself (smaller than some friends) have bloated our 401k's last 3 months!!!

Hopefully they'll remember me in their wills. LOL

Although I'll likely be gone before them.

[Madison]

OK, Mad. I'm in on some ARQQ. I like it.

There's definitely a learning curve on this Quantum Computers track. Encryption is complicated. So many zeroes to the right.

It's about creating a random string. Virtually impossible to repeat. At least one would think.

Is Willow going into the computers that are going to be released soon? I always found it frustrating to see a computer take time to churn answers. Would be awesome if those times speed up.

I've been in IONQ forever. ARQQ last 8 months. It's coming whether we all like it or not. Take a small position and hold.

Good stuff, Mad. Very interesting. Been reading more about Encryption/Decryption.

If you like numbers, 256^24 explodes to a huge figure. Something like 25 zeroes on the right. The computer-gurus think it might need to expand wider to counter the Septillion figure.

It's crazy. Truly boggles the human mind. This is the type of coding that protects the nuclear codes.

I see that these stocks like ARQQ and IONQ are blowing up in recent weeks.

Watch ARQQ. They apparently are customizing a cloud/quantum encryption methodology. Very interesting profile which on the surface I really like. More research required but sound in the sense that they appear to be selling the quantum service versus selling a device.

Any other quantum-computing stocks you like?

MADDer good health

this year so far so good

portfolio up 32%
meanwhile QQQ up 28%
and SPY up 25%

so the momentum has been working but you are right it can turn on a dime...

Trading versus investing. 2 totally different things!! BOL.

[homie1975]

Be VERY careful!! This does not fit your prior disclosed profile at all. 98% of these trades are algo/computer driven. They can, and likely will go down just as fast as they went up, often overnight or within HOURS not weeks/months/years. You can not EVER react quicker than the machines. All done by them nowadays.

BOL. and happy holidays to you and yours.

Another stock for people to consider: SMLR (Semler Scientific).

...The owner is following the Saylor MSTR strategy.
...Semler is a profitable medical devices company.
...But they've now added Bitcoin to the balance-sheet. 600 BTC at last check.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Heard some of the analysts talk. The Powell rate change has an immediate impact. But the markets figure out that it was too much (quickly), so I expect a quick bounce-back.

[d2bets]

Market getting slaughtered. Fed had to temper expectations due to Trump Plans.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Excluding microcap stocks too small to mention, four of the 10 biggest gainers in the last quarter specialize in quantum computing hardware.

Thx, Madison. I've watched some videos on this. I hear a mix of information.

Count how many zeroes on the x^24 combinations. It's a big number. In my head, it still seems quite implausible.

But you hear some counters. Google's Willow was apparently a big break-thru.

See above regarding Quantum. There's a perfect example. Stocks didn't move for years and most up 500+ % in 2 weeks?

I'm been trimming of late.

[Madison]

i am just waiting for Thurs 1/2 to get here then i will be unleashing lolol

i am looking to buy a ton of momentum stuff right after the 1st of the year.

Friend called yesterday regarding QUBT. I had given him 4 or 5 names 3 or 4 months ago. He wanted to use a portion of his 401k to speculate. He chose QUBT and bought 10K shares circa AUG/SEP at about .60 or .70. He's up circa 1700% in 4 months. Check that and the others I first recommended here a year or 2 ago. IONQ, ARQQ, RGTI, and several others.

XMAS came early in the Madison household this year!!!

Back to worrying about those brain cell damaged moron's in the NFL. NOT!!!!!!!

Maybe PM me in the future, as this forum is a slight few offering valuable insight, and not much insight otherwise.

Hi, Mad. I saw the Google news release. The developer spoke of an amazing speed improvement.

My question to you. Just how IMMINENT is this threat?

I've seen the list of all the Zeroes to the right. Is WILLOW going to blow thru all this? Sounds insane.

[Madison]

If an algorithm can churn thru a Billion possible combinations per second, then maybe one could slice thru all Passwords in a given amount of time.

Hey Chucky. This is right on. There are a number of recent articles out there referencing the "Master Key". The entire world will be turned upside down if Quantum can be used to Decrypt current algorithmic encryption. This is a ticking time bomb. Assuming all current/known encryption methods become obsolete our focus as investor's should be who can come up with the answer to futuristic encryption.

I have done very well with IONQ and RGTI as both have exploded to the point where I'm now taking money off the table.

A lot of BIG boys heavily invested GOOGL, MSFT, AMZN, IBM. I expect buyouts in the future.

BOL!!!

Also respect your NFL opinion. My partner and I remain 1/6 remaining in Survivor for 25K. Rather PM I guess. Have BAL available this week, with 3 others without, so seems like no brainer to play this week out. Funny how the split/hedging changes week to week. No splits this week for us, let the weak try to survive.

[Madison]

Bump from an old post.

*Shout-out to poster Madison. Mad gave me a tip on IONQ. I did buy some.

IONQ has done well. Big gain TODAY. I would expect IONQ to continue to do well, given the news-item on Google advancing the Quantum Computing chip.

Salud, Madison. I'm writing down IONQ right now.

I heard about Quantum Computing. It sounds impossible. But then you think about it.
