Riding the Quantum Ripple

Last Monday, we tried to put on a trade in a quantum computing name that had landed in our Top Names list the prior Friday—IonQ (IONQ 0.00%↑). Our order never filled, and by the end of the week the stock had sprinted +33%.

That kind of move isn’t unusual for our Top Names (longtime readers have seen this movie before); it’s why we scan that list every evening.

With that in mind, another quantum stock appeared in Friday’s Top Names, and we’re putting a trade on it today.

Plus A Second Top Name

In addition, we’re adding a position in one more Top Name from Friday’s list that lines up neatly with our core themes (re-industrialization and embodied AI.

How we’re structuring these (high level):

  • Same “harvest IV, define risk” template we’ve been using recently.

  • We go far enough out to catch likely catalysts and let realized vol do the heavy lifting, and we pre-set exits.

  • As usual, we’ll keep costs and break-evens in check by working mid-prices and avoiding greedy targets.

Details on strikes, expirations, and exits are in the paid section. For free readers, the takeaway is simple: we’re leaning into quantum strength, and adding a Top Name aligned with our core themes.
