Summary
Nutrition label

76% Informative

IonQ shares skyrocketed from $ 6.22 in early September 2024 to a $ 54.74 peak three months later .

Fast-forward from early January to March 25 , IonQ 's stock has dropped 53% lower to $ 25.55 per share.

IonQ has the advantage of a fairly long history and has a few systems to paying customers.

IonQ is the largest and most stable option, but that's like calling cucumber the saltiest vegetable.

I don't know for sure that this will happen to IonQ or any of its fellow upstarts, but it's a very real risk.

Consider when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005 ... if you invested $ 1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you’d have $ 697,245 !.
