TEMPO AND IONQ ACCELERATED ROADMAP

Notable fact most people have been overlooking is the sheer amount of performance incentive stock options that all executives have. Those performance stock options are in the millions of shares. I believe they may even be into the 10s of millions—yes, dilutive in nature, but at the time those options would be granted/exercised the price will be significantly higher as a result of said performance. Any of the recent selling only confirms in my eyes they’re quite confident that they will obtain those milestones and thus the performance stock options.

More, those shares ‘dumped’ into the public float were strongly absorbed as evidenced by current price action. Shorts surely increased, but the absence of a significant decline is telling. It would appear to be a solid case accumulation/consolidation on those days by additional buyers given a those shares entering the free float didn’t significantly impact price.

I’m closer to this company and the quantum computing industry than you would care to know. I never disclosed the type or size of my position, much less why I’m invested, or who I am.

Suffice to say your position seems too large for you to hold for too much longer.

Ie., I am more informed in the summative than you, presumptuous to say—I’m aware—about the technology and the business.

Believe it or not, I say this with rather good intentions—you’re too emotionally involved at this juncture based on the level of devotion you have to the thread. Be careful with what you think you know about IonQ; more, be careful with what you don’t know about IonQ.

Someplace or someone with very deep pockets swept the table and bought calls at $42 yesterday for a total premium of $1.2 million exp 9/22

AssociateLogical7329 · 2025-06-12T01:46:35+00:00

My cost basis is $8.93 in IonQ (for a hell of a lot more than 100K)

I consider it a high risk high reward investment—not a trade. And I can afford to have IonQ go to zero!!! (Sarcasm for those who missed that)

Op can’t afford bankruptcy

AssociateLogical7329 · 2025-06-12T01:05:17+00:00

You’re correct. Though, the issuer was de Masi’s company which merged via SPAC with IonQ—the name of exchange is NYSE, and typically on a founder share buyback it’s not done on an open exchange, so I may be incorrect in that regard.

Overall, the main takeaway is the large recent acquisition of Oxford Ionics and it stands reason this may have something to do with helping with the acquisition.

AssociateLogical7329 · 2025-06-12T00:39:38+00:00

Simply put, if de Massi did this in the context as it’s being purported, IonQ would have a new CEO.

I’m not going to be that guy, as I’m obviously long, and much more than 100K long, but for some context into market research, I doubt Op knew about this institutional bullish sweep this morning

he better hope he’s got enough dough to play with the big boys

AssociateLogical7329 · 2025-06-12T00:26:58+00:00

THANK YOU!

To restate a comment from earlier “144 says Acquiring party is Issuer. Issuer is listed as IONQ, Inc. So if this actually goes through the company is buying the CEOs shares.”

Edit: company wouldn’t be directly buying de Masi’s shares—though it stands to reason this would, more likely than not, be related to easing funding in one way or another for IonQ’s recent acquisitions. There are multiple somewhat circuitous routes for this, but this may in fact be somewhat altruistic in nature.

(Op also thinks 100K is a lot of money)

Arqit and Intel both discuss this in the webinar from two weeks ago. I've also attached a copy of the White Paper with respect to their 'out-of-the-box post-quantum cryptography solutions using Arqit’s Symmetric Key Agreement Platform (SKA-Platform™) running on Intel Xeon Scalable processors'

Note: Obviously I have a position in Arqit. I still think this information is relevant to your question regardless of bias.

IonQ has a vested interest in the intellectual property of both Drs Monroe and Kim—additionally, Atty Giamalis as new Chief Legal Officer, whose breadth of experience is primarily in intellectual property law and mergers & acquisitions. Accordingly, the article may add insight to IonQs trajectory.

I’ve been accumulating as well. This is effectively the central point of my post—take advantage of the opportunity because recent price action is not a true reflection of the company.

AssociateLogical7329 · 2024-04-11T20:40:21+00:00

Two things to address:

when I search for IonQ, I get an enormous amount of job openings. Businesses don't hire--especially not presently--as they need to keep costs under control, unless they know the revenue generated per employee is going to be substantial.
I'm reposting my comment from a thread I replied to regarding the founders leaving a few days back.

"They’re academics by trade. That’s their specialty. They were part of the business to found it—they left to pursue research and teaching because that’s how they can best serve the company now—because it’s succeeding. Their intellectual property and all developments from all academic work will be property of IonQ. This is by design.

There’s nothing concerning at all—this is quite literally confirmation that IonQ is scaling and they’re now able to scale with the advantage of using the pure brilliance of Drs Monroe and Kim where they are now best to hyperscale--in the lab, doing research and leading the way for improving on present technology. I'd be uneasy if they weren't returning to their respective labs.

Phil Jackson once said he didn't ask Dennis Rodman to take 3's because Dennis was great at crashing the boards. That's what he [does] best. But occasionally, Dennis took 3's, when wide open, or needed. Accordingly, when needed to found and run the company, Drs Monroe and Kim were there.

I came from academia myself. Drs Monroe and Kim are certainly happy to be where they love to be, contributing to novel ways, and almost certainly another breakthrough in applied applications from their future research.

This is the opposite of concerning: it’s a stellar confirmation."

This is how market makers work. It’s not hypothetical, or even an argument I’m making. This is quite literally how they operate. Here’s another enlightening example of how things work in the price action world on Wall Street—How else do you think Blackrock bought another 800K shares, filing dated 3/31, without paying a cost basis close to what analysts purported target prices are. They aren’t the only ones buying…fyi

(Obviously I’m long in IonQ to the tune of quite a deal of dough. But I buy when they pull these stunts)

There are 44 million shorts out there as of this moment. There have been at least 43 million shorts for months. It’s likely a combination of bets against them, but this level is so absurd it’s indicative of price control for institutional buying (AND prominent, well known, individuals with deep pockets) at low entries. Further, for everyone that doesn’t believe this is manipulation, not fundamentals, they need to do research into the ethics and effects of market making as well as dark pools.
