IonQ Inc (IONQ) Options

ionq announces "COLLEGE PARK, Md., December 02, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing and networking industry, today announced the launch of its quantum operating system, now called IonQ Quantum OS, and a collection of new capabilities named IonQ Hybrid Services suite. "

IONQ $32.60 Like this once it settles, can see this upper double digits to triple digits PPS very soon. JMHO. IONQ

Anyone who has been trading for a while has been burned in that way. I too have left a lot of money on the table in past stock endeavors. It's important to have a plan with a stock, so that you aren't left guessing what to do when it sees huge success. I have a plan for my IONQ shares. Everyone should.

JJ has a system that works well for him. What he stated is correct. I fell in love with two stocks and got buried with them. Had multiple opportunities to sell both at huge profits but just couldn’t part with them. Big lesson learned. As far as IONQ….i am happy for those of you that bought months ago. Unfortunately I didn’t but have enjoyed the glee that you’re experiencing. Kona and Jack Torrance are remarkable posters. GLTA

Boom! We knew they had to be working on a quantum OS for their quantum machines. Only makes sense. A necessary addition to their products suite and another money-maker.

40 is not out of the question - but how soon? who knows. I expect the needle to move up after 1:00 EST tomorrow based on news for tech advancements that will come out of this live webinar. Will it reach 40? maybe. I personally think the stock will react as it did in June - up 10-20% over next 10 days - so pushing high 30's to 40. We shall see.

i feel like i'm being lectured by a. money and banking professor in grad achool 
yet we  know  that flipping will produce less $ in the  long  run vs buy and hold 

32 is just fine 
and tomorrw will likely be an up day 

Still a gift but for less.

Sadly due to their own lack of knowing when to sell to take profits, get angry at those who know.

They don't realize that the market is not possible to exist without both buying and selling.

They reveal their own lack of a basic understanding of the two pillars of the market.

Buy-and-hold can become easily, in reality, buy-and-hope. And usually the majority of the participants in the stock market become losers- long term and short term losers unfortunately. That's not taking charge of what one needs to learn asap in the stock market.

It is more important to learn and know when to Sell than to Buy from my own long experience in the stock market.

T/A is there to help with timing when one stops their addiction to greed.

When one gets rid of thinking LT based on greed, learning how to combine the F and T/A can help both with their timing in Buying and Selling their stocks, and do it safely most of the time. There is no perfection in this business.

Just some thoughts.

Thanks, & Cheers & GLTY.

Thank you JJB for your Long Tail post.

Is anything under $40 still a gift?

$40 burger with fries???

There is a lot of pumping the stock on this board and some people will get hurt. Look at LWLG.
The stock price needs to build a base before moving higher. This market rally has been very strong since Nov 2023 and could have a correction any time due to the world situation.

Yes, teacher. We’re not worthy.

… And you’ve shown how little you know about retrieving current numbers.

Valuation Measures
As of 11/29/2024

The numbers I quoted are two months more recent than the numbers you quoted.

All you have done is show how rapidly the burn rate is increasing.

GLTA and even GLTY.

I mistakenly believed that everyone would understand that outlandish valuation statistics don’t last very long.

However, I do understand the trying to explain valuation to you would be a waste of bits and electricity.

GLTY and GLTA,

the last IonQ webinar in June - SP raised approx 20% on the trailing 8 days. will do the same this week through mid next week.

I also agree. Going up too far too fast is never good. With all the irons in the fire that we have a lot of good news is in the making, with some huge corporate partners to boot. Tomorrow’s webinar will be full of good news ! I can’t wait.

I agree too fast of a rapid rise will also cause a rapid decrease. I'm OK with the consolidating.

This is good consolidation, remaining in the $30s. It will help take care of that long tail some are concerned about.

Looks like our chart just took a hit of viagara😱😂

Notice how they drop it right before really big news breaks. So obvious.

I watched the Sunday AI special with Shannon ? on Fox News featuring Sam Altman and Condolezza Rice. Neither one mentioned the word quantum. It was almost as if they intentionally stayed away from it. Kinda weird really. They were trying to calm the public’s fear of A I taking over the human race. I guess if they mentioned quantum that would have been the straw that broke the camels back? Who knows? But it just seemed kinda weird that the word quantum never came up once in that entire hour on AI exclusively. Especially since the first annual Quantum + AI conference just took place back in Oct 28/30 in N Y city. Very strange indeed. And Sam. You need to stop in Big Island Grill and Umeke’s a little more often. You’re lookin a little thin bud.

I’m interested in hearing as to what’s going on with the marketing side. I don’t feel like the word is getting out. There is a lot more that could be done. We need more t v exposure for 1 The segment Charles Payne did last week was some good exposure but we need to build on that by getting someone from our Corp on the business and financial t v programs to talk about and explain quantum computing in simple terms. Some t v ads for Forte Enterprise would be nice too. IonQ needs a really good t v commercial to leap forward and establish itself as the leader in trapped ion tec. I hear Joe Walsh’s Les Paul screaming in the background as pics of Forte are flashing across the screen along with millions of bits of code scrolling quickly behind it. Life in the Quantum Lane . Everything. All the time. Ah haa

Just woke up. Wow! Vol 880k already. 36.70 up.20!! I smell news. Just a hunch. 1:48 here. Nice and quiet. Only an occasional wild chicken crowing in the distance and the sound of waves crashing. Lucky we live Hawaii. As the saying goes. Any shareholders who want to move here in the future, I’ll be glad to help out . I can introduce you to a couple of realtors who are very good friends of mine. One is local and the other has been here over 30 years. Kona is the place. When IONQ wins the race. A L O H A !🌈🐬🐳🐋🐠😎😎

That would be my guess as well- somewhere between $100-$120.

This company is in the development stage and here is the June presentation of their progress. An updated presentation will be given Tuesday:

https://ionq.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jJSCZvtlTQaGBRSIK8ImSA#/registration

Tuesdays webinar to bring shareholders up to date on IonQ’s latest accomplishments i e patents , partnerships , acquisitions and latest insight on proprietary advantages in the field of quantum computers and how IonQ is leaping ahead of all competitors with their patent moat on trapped ion systems. Tuesday at 10:00 pacific. Be there. Or be classical.

I think at least triple. Or above 120.00

The chart shows IonQ share price Long Tail Up on 29-Nov-2024.

A reminder that share price likely to go down.

However, IonQ share price has been leaping forward.

The larger Market comes across as if in Bull mode.

We shall see what follows tomorrow and this week.

ethical dilemmas; Theres the rub With quantum there will be no need for implants or any other physical human addons if you thought AI had ethical issues you aint seen nothing yet

Ha! I gotta watch this sometime. Anybody seen it yet?
The TV show that prominently features quantum computing is called "Devs", which is available on FX on Hulu; it centers around a fictional tech company called Amaya that develops a powerful quantum computer, raising questions about the ethics and implications of such technology.
Key points about "Devs":
Focus on quantum computing:
The main plot revolves around the capabilities and potential dangers of a highly advanced quantum computer developed by the company Amaya.
Ethical dilemmas:
The series explores philosophical questions surrounding free will and determinism as the characters grapple with the implications of a technology that could predict people's actions.
Director and creator:
"Devs" is directed by Alex Garland, known for his thought-provoking science fiction works.

What would our share price be if a merger was announced with either Ansys or Astra Zeneca, or some other major corp ? I have a feeling something like that is coming in the near future. We are at a point where the big boys are licking their chops and will need to make the move before some other biggie does. I think after the webinar on Tuesday this could be set in motion. All of IonQ’s recent advances will be out there. And the music will start for the game of “ musical chairs “ . Who’s going to be left without a chair? Not the smartest ceo who takes all the chairs and around 600 patents before the music even starts. Game over. He’ll have. Everything. All the time.

Showcased via a joint presentation at SC24, the application demonstrates the seamless integration of the core workflow behind several hybrid quantum-classical approaches to calculate the specific properties of a molecule’s electronic structure. These approaches have potential relevance in many chemistry-focused commercial applications, such as identifying how drug molecules might interact with specific proteins in the human body. The achievement captures IonQ’s interest in developing solutions that combine the benefits of quantum processing units (QPUs) with the accelerated, heterogeneous computing capabilities of the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform.


“IonQ is building on its approach of accelerating AI, scientific compute, and other supercomputing workloads with quantum hardware – enabling entirely new ways to approach previously unsolvable problems,” said Dean Kassmann, SVP of Engineering & Technology at IonQ. “Today’s molecular modeling demonstration illustrates why CUDA-Q is a great platform for achieving seamless integration and top-tier performance with our leading quantum hardware.”

Since 2023, IonQ has supported NVIDIA CUDA-Q, a powerful, unified, open-source software stack. CUDA-Q is a hybrid quantum-classical computing platform that enables the integration and programming of QPUs and GPUs in a single workflow. This demonstration was performed using a combination of IonQ Forte, the IonQ Hybrid Services suite, CUDA-Q, and NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, which can be deployed to cloud and on-prem environments.

The demonstration at SC24 showcases a novel way to interrogate the properties of specific molecules in a resource-efficient way that has relevance in larger application workflows pertaining to pharma and other commercial domains. The work also sets the stage for IonQ to accelerate even more powerful ways to model molecular dynamics for future biopharmaceutical applications.

“Useful quantum applications will need to draw on both quantum hardware and AI supercomputing resources,” said Elica Kyoseva, Director of Quantum Algorithm Engineering, NVIDIA. “The CUDA-Q platform is allowing researchers and developers to explore these paradigms by accessing NVIDIA accelerated computing alongside IonQ’s quantum processors.”

Today’s news reaffirms IonQ’s commitment to developing hardware and software that leverages a combination of quantum and classical computation to enable efficient, performant, robust solutions that can be deployed at commercial scale.

IonQ’s Hybrid Services suite makes designing and deploying quantum-accelerated applications that take advantage of IonQ’s leading quantum hardware easier than ever. It achieves this via a flexible, easy-to-configure hybrid infrastructure, workflow management, and scheduling for cloud or on-prem installations.

Jack. In reply to your former post on the slew of patents that have been filed by IonQ
I’m sure there are a lot of things going on that are trade secrets and haven’t been filed. Once you file, it’s public knowledge. And it usually takes around 2 years to be granted. So rest assured there are a lot of proprietary systems and methods going on that they are keeping close to the vest. Ionq has got this. With Tempo coming soon in 25 and another already in the design phase ( Presto ? 🤞lol ) we are truly taking quantum leaps ahead of all others. Our team is second to none. I can’t wait for our webinar Tuesday at 10:00 p m Pacific where I’m sure we will hear just how far we have come , so fast. So many new partners , patents , systems and patents from other new partners etc etc it’s really hard to keep it all straight. But that’s a good thing ey Jack !

Quantum Zoom message boards. That’s the ticket. IMO It won’t be long if Ionq has anything to say about it.

5.95. I knew that . No biggie. A lot gets lost in texting. That’s why I hate it. They need zoom message boards lol . jj took what I was trying to say all wrong too. Texting sucks imo

I was replying to your question. My reply was not directed at you personally. Furthermore, Jack is/was the moderator of this board. JFI

Yeah whatever they name it, it’s going to blow peoples minds! Next year seems far off but then again , my daughter was just applying to several Universities and now she’s almost finished with her first semester!😱 Scary fast. The quantum leap is on us. No stopping it now. Quantum + AI as demonstrated by the first Quantum + A I conference in N Y city 10/28/29/24 We’re off to the races boys and girls. Hands and feet inside the car. And no standing up!

Yep Jack. I like Presto too. I remember Magicians using that word also , as when the rabbit is pulled out of the hat, so it works and makes sense both ways. Imagine how powerful Tempo will be daisy chained out. Then think of Presto! Damn. The God machine seems to be getting closer everyday. 😱
