Author argues QUBT and RGTI are pump-and-dump schemes with no real commercial scale, warning retail investors.

QUBT — AVOID The author argues QUBT is a pump-and-dump, citing a history of reverse splits and 'adjusted' prices that mask a falling knife, and PR-driven spikes on tiny NASA subcontracts or acquisitions with 9,000% revenue 'surges' that are still only a few million dollars. The author believes the pattern is designed for insiders to exit at the peak, leaving retail holding the bag. Main risk cited is the lack of real commercial scale and ridiculous price-to-sales ratios.

QUBT recently "jumped" from under $1 to over $10, but look at the history: it’s a graveyard of reverse splits and insane "adjusted" prices that make it look like it was once worth $500k. That isn't real growth,it’s mathematical manipulation to hide a falling knife.

RGTI — AVOID The author argues RGTI is riding the quantum hype wave without a clear path to commercial scale, trading at ridiculous price-to-sales ratios. The author views it as part of a sophisticated shell game using quantum buzzwords to lure retail liquidity, designed for insiders to exit at the peak. Main risk is the lack of actual commercial scale.

RGTI isn't much better, riding the "quantum hype" wave without showing a clear path to actual commercial scale. These stocks trade at ridiculous price-to-sales ratios that make no sense.
