De Masi's interview on Cramer, for those who missed it. Amazing interview. If this catches on, could be a big day tomorrow.

Great stuff. We knew this was coming. Big pharma tries to sabotage. When that doesn't work, they try to ignore. When that doesn't work, they start buying companies.

Go away, loser.

Most people can't conceive of future tech or trends. It's a mystery to them until it's shoved down their throats.

In the near future, quantum will be the hardware. A.I. will be the software. And the network will be fiber optic and satellites. That's been decided in the past year, as we quantum believers know.

Bottom of page 14, going into page 15. IonQ and Duke University mentioned as participants. No other commercial quantum companies are involved:

And pretty much all the technology mentioned is stuff already patented by IonQ. The patent moat comes into play!!!

That's a bit different.

Interesting company. Very divisive opinions about them. Some say they are all smoke and mirrors. Others are big believers. Too early to tell either way. But if you want them cheap, now is the time, not in 3 years when they prove their tech.

I think they should acquire Extropic while they are still small beans.

From Google A.I. --

Correct. And that was always the move from the moment Chapman transitioned. The reason they kept him on as chairman was to prevent panic from dumbasses while De Masi got settled. Chapman got things kick started, but he wasn't much of a wheeler-dealer like De Masi is. De Masi is a lightning rod -- just what IonQ needs right now. And I wouldn't be surprised if they transition to someone else in 2-5 years once IonQ establishes quantum infrastructure supremacy (which is more important than having the fastest quantum hardware).

Listen everyone, there are going to be quite a few companies making quantum computers in the future, for various use cases and specific company/industry needs. But only a few are going to control the infrastructure. I obviously think that company is Ionq for the western world. China will be it's own thing, but most of Asia will go with western tech. Russia will probably beg for Chinese tech like the losers they are. IonQ could conceivably control like half of all quantum computing and communications worldwide for the next 20-30 years. That's crazy.

Source = his ass

Hilarious bullshit.

Correct. Market bullshit going on this week hardcore. They are shaking the tree. My shares will not fall out.

We all knew many months ago that CCC would avoid all contact regarding any legal action. They know they're effed.

Just gotta correct you. It's Daniel-san, not Danielson. The "san" is the Japanese polite way of addressing someone as Mr. or Mrs.

MNMD better submit a statement of interest.

They buy a lot, driving the price up to mid to high 40s. They they sell most of it to drive the price back down. But they profit on some of those shares, before starting to buy again. In this way, they slowly accumulate without driving the price up. They also only have to stop buying for like one day for the swing and day traders to dump their shares, too, which helps beat the price back down also. Rinse-repeat for weeks/months until news hits that's so big even the whales can't control the price.

Whales still accumulating.They control the price until they decide to let it run.

It's official:

Whatever the case may be, when they have enough shares they will let it rip.

In my experience of stock trading, is that those large enough, powerful enough and connected enough, to control share price through prolonged manipulation, are immune from prosecution. The big boys still aren't done accumulating this company. They will run it up and down in controlled ranges until they get all the shares they want. I don't see it ending any time soon. Huge news will break through their algorithm and lead to fast increases. The share price will stair-step up in this way in a very volatile "leveling up" process. Like I said before, the goal is to cause retail shareholders to fear that they've missed the top and to dump their shares. No better way to get the paper hands to sell than extreme volatility.

I predict explosions in share price that occur in very short periods, like 2-4 weeks, that then hold steady for long periods before the next explosion. In this way, the share price will almost double each time. I think we go from $40 to like $80. Then like $150. Then like $300-$400. Then $800-ish. Etc, etc, etc. I really don't think we're going to see a steady rise in small increments. It's going to jump from new high to new high in a wild fashion. We'll probably see a 50x by the 2030-2032 timeframe.

Acquisition of Capella Space is a done deal.

LMFAO

News for IonQ, or the quantum sector as a whole?

40% ain't going to be good enough for them. They want every share they can get their hands on. I agree institutional ownership is good. One has to have the resolve to hold during all the instability on the run up, though. Most don't.

Whales and institutions are keeping this in the $38-$50 range while they accumulate. There are so many longs that aren't willing to part with a single share that the institutional entities are having to resort to scare tactics to get people to part with their shares out of panic. They will do this for at least a few more years. They will let it rip up to new highs on big news, then sell only some of their shares to push it back down while the shorts mop up. Some will panic and sell. This is when they scoop up the shares. IonQ will likely be about 70% institutional ownership of shares by 2030. Just wait and see.

Those of us with balls of steel will hold every, single, share and become multi millionaires.

Confirms the 100 qubit rumor. Things are going to move so fast in the next year or two. I wish I could skip forward in time to 2030 or so. By then IonQ is going to be a monster mega-corp.

Totally awesome. If someone would have read your first sentence about 10-15 years ago, they would have been mystified and dumbstruck. Now it's reality.

Right on.

Things falling into place better than Tetris pieces.

Can't wait for the next year for this stock. Never seen a biotech startup actually follow through like this. All the dilution to raise more money wasn't great for longs, but that is to be expected with any startup, especially when clinical trials are involved. They cost a ton.

They are liking that news from yesterday. It had a bit of time to sink in.

Small price to pay, and better to price in the added shares now than later.

And another PR that their work with Astra Zeneca was a resounding success. Wonder if there will be any more announcements during the conference call this morning about tech advancements.

Big news out:

The stuff going on behind closed doors, that cannot be disclosed, is probably staggering.

Beyond excellent.

IonQ going balls deep-ER in South Korea.
