Buying the RGTI Dip? Stop. Think. Discussion

People hyping up the dip on RGTI seem to be ignoring the elephant in the room: a single, casual comment about quantum computing from a tech CEO wiped out 50% of RGTI's share price overnight. Let that sink in for a second... half the market cap gone, not because of earnings, not because of product failures, but because of words.

Now ask yourself: what does that say about what was propping up the $18+ price? Spoiler: It wasn’t the underlying financials or fundamentals.

So why are you buying back in? Are you seriously betting that Jensen walks back his comment? Or are you hoping another big-name CEO decides to contradict him just to boost this stock? Because that's a pretty wild gamble when you think about it.

This isn’t about a calculated investment anymore... it’s about FOMO and denial. Some of you don’t seem to want your money. Just remember, markets can stay irrational a lot longer than your wallet can.

TL;DR: Be real with yourself before buying the RGTI dip. Is this a strategic play, or are you just coping?

Edit#1 for clarification:

Clearly a divisive topic. Appreciate you all engaging and thanks for the award.

I’m seeing a lot of replies suggesting I’m bearish on quantum’s long-term potential. For clarity, I’m not. My point is that even at this dip, RGTI’s price doesn’t reflect its fundamentals or actual progress. If you believe in RGTI’s future, that’s fine... but why not wait for a price that matches its current reality?

If your plan is to time and profit off a dead cat bounce, great. Just be clear on your strategy.

Edit#2 for context some are missing:

For the multitude of comments claiming this was a ploy by Jensen to slow-roll Quantum investments... under Huang's leadership, NVIDIA has established strategic partnerships with multiple quantum computing entities, contributing significantly to the progress of quantum technologies through its high-performance computing solutions. He has skin in the game.

They did an offering in late November at $2 a share, that's what their management thinks its fair value is...

Nobody wanted to hear this over the last couple weeks.

same. but to be fair i was pretty smug about it.

Whereas now you're the model of humility...

And while y'all were arguing the facts, I dipped in and out to the tune of $6k realized gains based on the hype cycle.

We are not the same.

oh i got no beef with anyone making money off the hype. make yo paper

Management doesn’t know how to valuate their own company!! They don’t know the possibilities!! How could they fathom the potential of their own technologyyyyy?!?! I KNOW QUANTUM BETTER!!! :27421::27421::31225::31225::31225:

surely if you thought this, why not gamble some money on weekly lotto puts?

if you had done this and eaten the loss for the last 2 months you would've turned a $100 weekly gamble on super far OTM puts into probably 20k lol

even the 0.01 put contracts yesterday opened today at well over 2.00

And yet we are trying it again here. Dude. People will repeat the same history. 🤣 I love new money. Them will be mine.

u/skyfox437 1d ago

quantum is all hype right now. But we all know how irrational this market can be.

u/samrechym 1d ago

You’re a good guy, OP. You made this post to look out for people. Good luck to those who don’t listen.

That was almost 90 days ago 😂

u/ittrut 1d ago

Yeah thats 90 days less on the 20 year clock Jensen hung on this

u/NeverJustaDream 1d ago

To be fair, it really doesn't matter what their management thinks. It's what the market thinks. If you didn't want to trade quantum stocks out of the fact offerings are priced at single digit or low doubles, you'd missed out on literal 1000%+ movers

26

u/Young-faithful 1d ago

But you’re really betting on hype and the momentum of it. The bubble could have burst anytime in the last month. Jensen just happened to open his mouth now.

u/NeverJustaDream 1d ago

Why's that an issue? Trades remain nimble. We're not talking about long term investing

u/AccessAccomplished33 1d ago

Because the post is about buying it "because now it has better entry price", that stock can be a falling knife. You can still trade it, of course, but I would bet that a put or shorting it would make more sense than buying it.

u/TheSeldomShaken 1d ago

The thing about falling knives is that if you catch them, you look cool as shit.

12

u/astuteobservor 1d ago

Momentum stocks, they die once momentum stops. Looks like all quantum stocks are dead or dying right now.

u/fksakeisaidnobabe 1d ago

Agreed and to be clear, I'm not saying anyone shouldn't have invested. I'm saying, know what you're investing in and why... set up your stop limits accordingly. All this,  with particular reference to people screaming about buying the dip now on RGTI. 

13

u/Techters 1d ago

A stop what?

3

u/pennyplatinum 1d ago

Stop limits, so you can sell if the price dips to a certain point and cap your losses

5

u/The_Only_Real_Duck 1d ago

Most big gapping moves happen in extended hours and stop limits don't work during extended hours. At least not for my brokers.

I heard think or swim let's you do it.

u/Redlight0516 21h ago

Yup. I still got out and made a good chunk of money. I'm in Asia trading US markets. I went to bed and when I woke up RGTI was $1.50 below my stop loss. Still got out at like $16

u/Aware-Designer2505 16h ago

If i had a stop limit it would of helped. When i tried to manually sell the drop rate was too fast.. maybe its good to keep these around for the future

u/porchswingsecurity 1d ago

You mean a double down trigger…got tons of those!

u/banditcleaner2 sells naked NVDA calls while naked 1d ago

one of my buddies is obsessed with IONQ. bought most of his shares in the $7-9 range and made a killing when it was over $50, but never sold. he also bought RGTI and QUBT which he did get stopped out of, so at least he didnt lose money there, but the gains that he left on the table by not cashing out at 6-7x for IONQ is honestly just sad

I tried to tell him that he already hit big with a 7x in just 3 months, and that he should trim but he didnt listen and he lost 70k overnight from jensen speaking two sentences, lmao

I was up 4600% on rgti puts from Monday. They went from 0.15 a contract to 5.20

It's what the market thinks.

Pump, pump brother

u/YouHaveFunWithThat 1d ago

This is all the DD anyone should need. If you want to play volatility by all means but we’ve clearly entered the dump part of pump and dump. Still hurts looking back seeing I was day trading this stock between 2.50 and 2.80. Ik I wouldn’t have held to the top but at one point I had 20k in shares at 2.55 and made out with a $500 gain.

u/banditcleaner2 sells naked NVDA calls while naked 1d ago

congrats on leaving 400k on the table lol

u/BidPretty2109 1d ago

You know you wouldn’t of held to 50

2

u/YouHaveFunWithThat 1d ago

You’re 100% right I would’ve sold the next day when it hit 3.10. Still crazy to think about though.

u/bshaman1993 1d ago

Offering is done at fair or above fair value. Buybacks are done at fair or under fair value. Aka buy low sell high

u/Various-Ducks 1d ago

Ya but theyre managers at RGTI, they dont know shit

1

u/sw33tleaves 1d ago

What price was the stock trading at the time of offering?

1

u/DoU92 1d ago

They ipo’d at around 10 a share. That’s what they think is a fair value. 2 was market value at the time.
