In November, I finally had the necessary income to afford higher-risk investments.

Until then, I only had index funds tracking the MSCI World or Emerging Markets. So I came up with the idea of looking for the next technology that could explode like #ai companies did.

It occurred to me to look for #quantum companies since it was a technology I had been following for many years.

I found the following:

• $RGTI (+3,78 %) 1º: 2,75 -> AVG: 8,36
• $QBTS (+3,39 %) 1º: 3,11 -> AVG: 6,14
• $IONQ (+1,39 %) 1º: 30,77 -> AVG: 32,43
• $QUBT 1º: 6,80 -> AVG: 11,539

Seeing their prices starting to rise, I decided to buy a reasonable amount of shares.

Little did I know that days later, $GOOG would present its quantum chip, causing a #pumpstock of my shares, tripling their value on average.

Unfortunately, I continued buying during the rise, which increased my average price. The price then fell when the CEO of $NVDA (+2,31 %) commented that quantum computing was still two decades away from being relevant. Luckily, I took advantage of the dip and bought more shares. Today, I am back in profit.

I have learned that it is not advisable to buy during such vertical rises and it is always better to wait for a correction. My goal is to hold these investments for the long term (3-5 years), if all goes well. However, I will keep a close eye on them to make sure none of them go bankrupt prematurely

Hey there! Let's break down what's happening with $QUBT – it's been quite a wild ride lately! This quantum computing company has been catching everyone's attention, and for good reason.

The stock has skyrocketed from less than a dollar to over $18, which is pretty mind-blowing. We're looking at a company that's now worth about $2.37 billion, but here's where it gets interesting – they've only got 39 employees! Talk about a lean team working on cutting-edge tech.

The market's clearly excited about the quantum computing space, and QUBT's positioning in it. The insiders seem to believe in the company too – they own about 21.8% of the shares, which is a significant chunk.

Current financials tell an interesting story. They've got about $3 million in cash, with a debt of around $7.8 million. Revenue is still pretty minimal at $386,000, but that's not unusual for early-stage tech companies, especially in such a specialized field.

What's really catching attention is the volatility – the stock's been swinging from $0.355 to $27.15 over the past 52 weeks. The trading volume has exploded too, averaging around 36.7 million shares daily.

Looking at the institutional side, they've got a pretty light presence at just 3.3% ownership. Vanguard leads the pack with about 1.2 million shares. This low institutional ownership might explain some of the wild price swings we're seeing.

The company's focusing on making quantum computing more accessible and affordable, which could be huge if they pull it off. They're working on some interesting stuff like quantum random number generators and quantum authentication systems.

The risk metrics show what you'd expect – high volatility with a beta of 1.634 and a maximum drawdown of -97.52%. But that's pretty typical for emerging tech companies in revolutionary fields.
