On September 9th, 2025, we posted this video when IONQ was trading at $43.05 👉 Wall Street Digest 9/9/25.
Within two weeks, the stock surged to $76.13 — a monster run. We took profits along the way, but it also became a textbook case of over-extension and hype.
That same day, we flipped the script. Instead of chasing, we initiated a short by going long IONZ, the 2x inverse ETF. Our average cost: $3.90.
As excess has been released from the stock, we’ve been scaling out, selling into strength, and booking gains steadily.
IONQ was not the only one we took advantage of; QBTS, RGTI, and QUBT were all big winners on the long side, but IONQ was the only one that currently has an inverse ETF.
