Can you really make money trading 1 hour each day?
Featured Article: Quantum stocks are suddenly moving
Dear Trader,
My top income trading expert, Dave Aquino, just released a 1-hour trading strategy designed specifically to help regular investors generate enough income to become financially independent…
Without taking on excessive amounts of risk.
I’m talking about having the opportunity to collect $500 on Monday…
$563 on Wednesday…
Then as much as $625 on Friday.
Week in. And week out.
To better trading,

FEATURED ARTICLE
Quantum stocks are suddenly moving
This one didn’t build slowly.
It just showed up.
One day it’s all AI chips, data centers, power constraints… then you glance at the screen and suddenly quantum names are moving like it’s a different cycle entirely.
IonQ (IONQ)
Rigetti Computing (RGTI)
Both catching bids. Not subtle ones.
At first glance, it looks like the usual rotation. Traders get tired of the obvious winners, start poking around for the next pocket of momentum, and something sticks.
That happens all the time.
But this one feels a little too fast… and a little too specific.
Here’s where I think the shift is coming from.
Not from quantum itself.
From pressure building inside AI.
Think about what’s actually happening right now.
Training large models isn’t cheap anymore. We’re talking tens of millions per run for the biggest systems. Inference demand is scaling even faster as these models get deployed into real products. And data center power demand — not theoretical, actual electricity — is expected to double by 2030.
That’s before you even get to the harder stuff.
Optimization. Simulation. Drug discovery. Materials.
The things people expect AI to solve next.
That’s where it starts to feel heavy.
Not broken.
Just… stretched.
So quantum gets pulled into the conversation.
Not because it’s ready. It’s not.
But because the current stack might not scale cleanly forever.
That’s the bet showing up in these stocks.
Not “quantum works today.”
More like “what if it matters sooner than expected?”
Take IonQ.
Still early, but not nothing. Revenue sits somewhere in the $40–50 million range, growing close to 90% year over year, with backlog north of $100 million. That’s real demand, even if it’s early-stage demand.
The stock isn’t moving on earnings. It’s moving on positioning.
People trying to get ahead of something.
Rigetti is even earlier.
Revenue barely clears the single-digit millions, margins are negative, the whole thing is still very much in build mode. But it has government ties, research contracts, enough credibility to stay in the conversation.
Right now, that’s enough.
Slight tangent, but it matters.
Every major tech cycle hits a point where the idea outpaces the infrastructure.
Railroads needed steel before they scaled.
The internet needed fiber.
Cloud needed massive data centers.
AI might be heading toward that same moment.
Back to what’s actually trading.
The speed of this move stands out. Volume spikes, short-dated options lighting up, price action that doesn’t build — it jumps.
That’s not long-term capital stepping in carefully.
That’s fast money positioning.
And fast money can leave just as quickly.
So yeah, I’m a bit skeptical.
Not about the long-term concept. That’s real enough.
About the timing.
Because if you look at the numbers right now, they don’t really support these valuations. IonQ sitting at multi-billion levels on sub-$100 million revenue. Rigetti even more stretched relative to what it actually produces today.
That’s not cheap.
That’s a story being priced forward.
But stories matter.
Especially when they line up with something the market is already uneasy about.
And right now, there’s a real question sitting underneath everything:
Can AI keep scaling without hitting a wall?
That’s the opening.
So I’m not chasing this.
I’m watching how it behaves after the first move.
If buyers show up on dips, if the names hold instead of giving everything back, then maybe there’s something more durable building here.
If not…
it was just another rotation.
Because this isn’t really about quantum yet.
Not in the way people think.
It’s about a system that’s starting to feel stretched… and a market trying to price what comes next before it’s fully clear.
That’s usually when things get interesting.
