Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
The Trump administration is pursuing investments in quantum-computing companies. The government would become a shareholder in exchange for helping fund promising technology companies. Potential target companies mentioned include: Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, IonQ, Atom Computing, and Quantum Computing Inc.
Who ultimately makes these US government decisions about which company(ies) to invest in or not and under what authority? Call me skeptical but I see it as a move by those in power to profit at the hands of the taxpayers for their own (and/or cronies) benefit. I'm willing to acknowledge that there may be precedent for such activity somewhere or someplace. The automakers and financial company bailouts perhaps fits the bill but are there others? And remember these were bailouts and not speculative purchases.
And a Commerce official already walked that rumor back.
Frankly, at this point you can't trust anything the government says ... and they're turning the stock market into one giant pump-and-dump scheme with rumors of what FOTUS is/may consider taking a position in. Market manipulation and insider trading is totes fine in 2025 for anyone with an 8,9, or more-figure net worth, apparently!
