High Beta Stocks Exploded Today | Soluna, Horizon, D-Wave, IONQ

本站添加: 2026-05-03

[00:00:00]So, today was a huge day for the markets as you can see, especially the high beta high-risk stocks. They just took off to outer space. And we just talked about it actually last night. I shared four growth stocks with you on the channel.

[00:00:14]And one of them was Salona and lo and behold today, up 30%. So, if you don't have notifications on, make sure you don't miss a video. And if you haven't already, like and subscribe. Today, we're going to go into a bunch of different high beta stocks in my growth portfolio. We're also going to look at the quantum watchlist and our post-quantum cybersecurity stocks. We're going to look at some news from IBM.

[00:00:36]Then I'm going to go over some chart analysis with you all on some select quantum stocks as well as Salona and Horizon Aircraft.

[00:00:46]On your screen here, Hover. That one is starting to wake up and it's an eVTOL play that I is very interesting. So, we're going to take a look at their website as well. All I ask is that you like if you haven't already and let's jump right in. So, first and foremost, the Fear and Greed Index is 67. What does that mean for us? That means that the market is starting to move its way towards extreme greed. We have been in a situation in this market for the last 6 months, 7 months with software sell-off, Iran war, you name it. There's been at least three major fear events where we've been kind of sitting over here on the extreme fear and fear side and high beta stocks tend to sell off pretty aggressively when there's a lot of fear. So, we're starting to see maybe the sentiment in the market flip a little bit. Let's take a look at some watchlists here. So, first and foremost, D-Wave woke up a little bit today, reclaimed $20 a share.

[00:01:43]We're going to look at that chart later in the video. Google is on a massive rally, unbelievable.

[00:01:48]Quantum Computing still under $10 a share, but had a nice day. And we're getting in IonQ. IonQ's actually reclaiming 45, which is amazing because there's still many days before earnings. We'll look at that chart as well.

[00:02:02]Post-quantum cybersecurity, we can see that CLSK is up almost 10%. Quantum Emotion up almost 9%. BTQ up 3%.

[00:02:12]All of these companies combined, all of these PQC companies, their market cap combined is less than the company Peloton. The same company that has been dying since like 2021.

[00:02:25]You can see the market caps here. Think Peloton's like a $2 billion company. The combined market cap of the entire PQC space is less than a dying company.

[00:02:34]Think about that for a second. Does that make any sense? With all the warnings that we've got from Google and others about quantum computers coming by 2029.

[00:02:45]Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Okay.

[00:02:47]In this other portfolio that I have, these are a lot of my growth and high beta names. Salona, unbelievable. We talked about it on the show last night, up 30% today. Sentiment is really changing around Salona. I think this time might be different.

[00:03:02]Although, if you look at the chart, there's been a lot of volatility in Salona, so I got to be cautious when I say that.

[00:03:08]And on that note, I think it's important at this point in the video to say any investment you're looking at, any stock, any company that you're considering putting your money into, it's very important you do your own due diligence. I am not a financial advisor.

[00:03:23]I am just a guy on YouTube and you should never just listen to a guy on YouTube when it comes to your money, you got to do the due diligence.

[00:03:31]As we can see, IonQ again, 7% day.

[00:03:35]Redwire was up almost 7%. Iran, in my opinion, got oversold after the ChatGPT news where ChatGPT apparently missed some internal numbers.

[00:03:47]And even IonQ reclaimed 10 today.

[00:03:50]Markets were up.

[00:03:51]Dow Jones was up 1.6. S&P made new highs at up 1%. Nasdaq up 1% as well. And the Russell was up 2. 2%. Russell's been kind of in a situation where it hasn't had a lot of gains like the other stock uh the major indexes. So, maybe we'll see that the Russell could maybe start uh getting some traction here, especially if interest rates are going to be cut >> [snorts] >> uh with under the new Fed chair.

[00:04:20]I want to bring your attention to IBM.

[00:04:24]IBM, it's 200 and what is it the stock price right now? $230 a share. It's an expensive stock.

[00:04:31]It's harder to get super excited and jazzed about these large cap companies except if you follow this channel really closely, you know that IBM is one of the main quantum players in 2026.

[00:04:45]They're basically saying that this year they expect early examples of quantum advantage while remaining on track to deliver a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029. So, they're re They're basically saying this again.

[00:04:59]They've already said this before.

[00:05:02]Recent demonstrations using IBM hardware simulated a 300 atom system for pharmaceutical research and modeled magnetic materials.

[00:05:11]IBM also released a blueprint for quantum-centric supercomputing that integrates quantum and classical to scale practical applications across industries.

[00:05:21]So, it's showing that quantum is getting into that noisy intermediate scale and we're starting to move into practical, repeatable use cases and that's a transition that IBM is thinks is coming in 2026.

[00:05:38]Also, IBM launched their new research lab. IBM and MIT launched the MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab, expanding their long-running collaboration to include quantum computing alongside artificial intelligence and algorithms research.

[00:05:54]Pretty exciting.

[00:05:56]So, I see this as an opportunity for myself as a quantum investor because IBM, you might not know this, but IBM is down almost 30% from all-time highs. There's been some some things investors haven't really liked that they've done recently, but it has nothing to do with their quantum efforts.

[00:06:17]And so, today actually started a new position in IBM. I'm planning to dollar cost average and I'm hoping even if the stock moves down from here, I'm hoping to just dollar cost average even if the stock is moving down because if they're really going to show quantum advantage in 2026 and they're really going to have utility scale quantum computing by 2029, I definitely want IBM in my portfolio. They're one of the strongest superconducting players, if not the strongest.

[00:06:48]So, now we're going to look at a bunch of different tickers and we're going to look at Horizon Aircraft's website as well. And then we're going to call it video, short and sweet today.

[00:06:59]So, [snorts] first we're going to look at Xanadu. So, Xanadu on the 4-hour candles is making a very interesting wedge pattern here.

[00:07:08]On the Discord today in the Xanadu channel, we were talking about this. I was pointing out key levels and I was identifying this wedge. And then four four members actually created a report with ChatGPT that shows kind of what the pattern is, what it usually means. So, what I want to show you guys is there's kind of something going on here that may indicate that something is going to happen with the stock, whether it's going down or up. Hard to say, but we can see that there's lower highs at least four or five instances.

[00:07:47]And there's also higher lows, which is creating this compression in this wedge.

[00:07:53]So, in this report, it looks like kind of a symmetrical triangle and there and it's called the volatility compression pattern where volatility is tightening up.

[00:08:03]And what's going to happen?

[00:08:06]Is it a situation where the stock explodes from a certain point and moves up to new highs or does the stock break down? And I happen to know that the interest that short sellers are paying to short Xanadu right now is around 450%.

[00:08:25]So, those short sellers are planning on a collapse. And I told you guys my base case for Xanadu is a retracement down to around $16, a share because it flew so high so fast.

[00:08:39]But so far, I have been wrong and I'll be the first to tell you when I'm wrong.

[00:08:44]I don't know what's going to happen from here, but it is in a very interesting compression wedge and volatility is tightening up.

[00:08:53]What's the move going to be? Leave a comment below and let me know what you think is going to happen with Xanadu from here. Love to hear your opinion.

[00:09:01]Okay, let's take a look at Inflection.

[00:09:02]So, Inflection has been super volatile.

[00:09:05]So, it went up to $21 a share for a fraction of a second and it took out a lot of lower highs, which we pointed out on the previous chart. So, Inflection suddenly jumped up to $21 a share. They've had what seems like nothing but good news.

[00:09:22]We can see that now it's down to $11.80 again. So, what is going on with this stock? And I know a lot of even in my Discord, a lot of people are frustrated with the stock. They're like, "What the heck's going on? Like, why why are all the other stocks doing good and this one isn't?" And I have a couple thoughts about that. One is I think we are in a situation with Inflection where the market just simply does not understand Inflection. It's that They don't understand the earnings, they don't understand how inflection is relatively stronger in as far as revenue and technology roadmap than other quantum companies. But when the market does not know or understand a company, that is the arbitrage, that is the edge.

[00:10:17]So anytime I personally see Xanadu fall below 12 11 10 $9 a share, that's where I back up the truck and I start buying a lot of shares. So for me personally, I've been adding a ton to my position here the lower part of this chart and I have no concerns whatsoever. I sleep well at night with inflection in my portfolio because I know I've personally walked through the headquarters, I've talked to in in interviewed the CEO on this channel.

[00:10:50]I know the group of people that are running this company. I have seen their financials and I believe this company has its best days ahead and think of it this way.

[00:11:03]This is an opportunity to buy more shares cheap before this eventually someday is going to knock out these highs, right? And it's not going to be a 24 or 20 anything dollar stock. Maybe I think closer fair value for inflection is probably something like 35 to 40 a share. We'll see if if it can get there.

[00:11:24]All right, let's take a look at IonQ. So a nice recovery here. Of course, IonQ is always super volatile, but it's closing today on a note of strength on the 4-hour candles.

[00:11:37]It moved all the way up to almost $50 a share before getting rejected, moving down to around this $40 and that dip has been bought up, closed at around 45. And the interesting thing about Mr. IonQ is that earnings are coming up here on May 6th. So that's not too far away and you do have to wonder with all of these acquisitions and everything that IonQ has been doing if the market's going to front run the expected growth that is going to be showing up on the revenue. I mean, it's not going to take too long for us to just head over to Profit Viz and just pull up IonQ and look at this revenue.

[00:12:20]We know from Vector Atomic alone that actually it wasn't Vector Atomic, it was Capella Space. They had one contract that was $50 million. Now how that gets spread out over the quarters and that type of thing, we'll see, but of course they have Skywater revenue.

[00:12:38]This company is growing fast both organically and non-organically. So I'm very excited for what's coming with IonQ. Let's take a look at Joby Aviation. I was actually talking about Joby Aviation on the Discord today and I did create a report because I wanted to understand what happened here. So the breakdown for Joby from $13 a share where it dumped down and it's been kind of just struggling in this eight or $9 area. Well, the technology keeps advancing, but the price that investors are willing to pay to have a ticket or a share here in Joby Aviation right now has been around this eight or $9. I've been aggressively adding to my position because I think what's happened here is that there's been an overcorrection, but I want to go and show you in in our Joby channel here, I had written this I had this report made. Let me see if I can find it really quick.

[00:13:43]So the short version is basically that the market did not like the share count adjustment.

[00:13:52]So there was a dilution at a discount, the offering was upsized, it exposed the capital intensity of the business and convertible notes created a future overhang and the timing damaged the momentum narrative. So there's a lot of things working against the stock since it pushed down. I like this bull bear case here. Joby strengthened its balance sheet before commercial launch. The bear's interpretation is that the raise confirms Joby is still far from self-funding. Investors may expect more dilution before the business proves commercial economics. Now my take on this is this is an opportunity to add more shares for Joby because I really want to own this company for the next 5 10 15 years. So I've been buying aggressively and I do list all of my buys and sells, every single share, every penny, every single penny that I spend on my Discord. I do share all of my buys and sells on my Discord. So I'd really like to see Joby hit some momentum with some of their announcements or that type of thing and I'd love to see it get above this 930, which is definitely an area it's bounced off many times and maybe it could look to move back up into the 11s and test that gap fill.

[00:15:06]All right, so Soluna Soluna Holdings has been extremely volatile. So if you've been in this name, if you're an investor or if you're trading this name, you know that just in the last few days it's moved up 87% absolutely insane how these stocks move. These high beta stocks are crazy and we're seeing the volatility play out in real time, but what I was talking about are some key levels that were broken today. So we saw that it got over this $1.64.

[00:15:38]It also got almost to this 182 and the next one we need to look at is that key psychological $2 level.

[00:15:47]And not so long ago this was a $5 stock, a $4 stock. So with sentiment improving and potentially some execution from Soluna on their roadmap for building out these wind farms and these high performance computing centers, perhaps they will find the market and execute and this will be a major opportunity or we lose our entire investment. That's always a possibility as well. Okay. So finally, D-Wave Quantum.

[00:16:23]We're going to look at D-Wave. So if I remove the drawings here, we can see that D-Wave is moving into potentially an uptrend channel. So if it just follows its pattern, maybe it'll do something like this before it's next catalyst. I do want to point out that D-Wave is still trading at about $5 a share lower than when we learned at the Qubits conference that they had already exceeded last year's revenue and we still don't know who the Fortune 100 comp the Fortune 100 customer is for D-Wave.

[00:17:04]So this is probably a situation where we're just going to have to wait and see what D-Wave has in store for us, but the chart sets up quite nicely. It's actually here. It ended just slightly above this area of resistance and perhaps it can start using $20 as a psychological level. So I have a bullish lens on D-Wave moving forward.

[00:17:28]Our last stock of the day we're going to look at is Horizon Aircraft. So Horizon is stock that moved up 17% today. It's actually been starting to pick up some steam as a stock and their whole thing is they want to do hybrid eVTOL. So you know if you follow this channel, I'm heavily in Joby Aviation, Archer Aviation, they're fully electric, but what's interesting about Horizon is they're kind of getting the best of both worlds where they're using both like hybrid eVTOL, kind of like a hybrid car.

[00:18:05]But that gives them some unique advantages. It allows them to fly further. It allows them to carry more passengers and they're even on their website, they're not shy about it. They want you to see that we can carry more of a load than Archer and Joby and we can go further than Archer and Joby.

[00:18:27]This matters in key markets like defense and commercial purposes like medical services. So this stock is definitely one to keep on your radar. A lot of the eVTOL stocks are 5 6 7 8 $9. This one's two bucks right now and maybe they have a decent shot. I haven't dug in too much further into Horizon. I have my position in it and I'm considering adding more to longer term accounts as I dig more into the company.

[00:19:02]All right, everyone. I hope you really enjoyed this and it's been a an amazing day in the stock market for high beta stocks. Definitely there was a lot of risk with portfolio like this because as fast as it comes, it can go. Trust me.

[00:19:17]I've been in this market for the last 6 and 1/2 months, so I've seen a lot of that. Uh if you appreciate content like this, make sure you like and subscribe and if you'd like to join us on the Discord, I'll leave a link in the comments. We'll see you guys in the next one.
