I write about and invest in mostly early commercial stage companies that have a large TAM and zero to little direct competition. I will provide updates on companies that I introduce as long as the goalposts set by management are met. Of course, there are always unforeseen developments more often in the microcap world than otherwise and there are macro conditions that are beyond the control of company management. I'm also not always right but I like the risk/reward characteristics of investing in micro-caps. ...

Many quantum computing stocks exploded in value last year as investors hoped to get ahead of the crowd in what could be a transformational wave of new technology. Excitement grew in December after Google parent Alphabet posted about the impressive performance of its newest quantum chip, Willow. But Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang threw cold water on the party in early January following a discussion with analysts at the CES conference in Las Vegas. During the talk, Huang claimed that it likely would be at least 15 y ...

Quantum computing is fast becoming the next big opportunity in the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape.By now, I'm sure you realize that artificial intelligence (AI) is by far the biggest opportunity fueling the technology sector. Underneath the AI umbrella, semiconductor stocks have been some of the largest beneficiaries. This makes sense, as chipware serves a critical role in the development of myriad generative AI applications.However, over the last few months an area known as quantum computing has em ...

Quantum computing stocks landed on investors' radars late last year when Alphabet announced a huge breakthrough with one of its quantum computing chips. This caused a marketwide rally in quantum computing stocks, sending top picks like IonQ (IONQ -6.40%) and Rigetti Computing through the roof.However, these stocks suddenly crashed when a prominent voice in the computing industry said that useful quantum computers were still 15 to 30 years away. That comment came from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who has a stron ...
