The real money is made within the dinner table trades.
These are the names being talked about at dinner tables by not just traders and investors but normal people. They’re the stocks that have exploded to the upside or imploded to the downside, the ones that are truly in play.
These are the trades that can make your month, quarter, or even your year.
These are the trades to focus on.
And today, October 7th, 2025, I’ve got one of those trades.
The ticker: $IONQ.
I’m short $IONQ by being long the 2x inverse ETF $IONZ with a cost basis of 2.94.
Why today?
Because the market cap has completely blown out. We’re talking $23 billion.
And the revenue?
Just $52 million.
That’s insane.
Coming into today, we saw the classic blow off top with five straight green days, extended range, and early morning signs of cracking in the premarket.
What I look for are setups that simply don’t make sense, like a $23B market cap on $52M in revenue, and then I wait for price to confirm it. I like to see multi-leg runs over weeks or months, a speed up in recent days, and then a final burst of range expansion in after hours or premarket, the classic climax day.
That’s exactly what we have today, October 7th, 2025.
This is a dinner table trade with serious potential to pay off (I am thinking the target is $IONQ with a market cap of 10b or less)
This is the kind of trade being talked about around dinner tables right now, and the kind that will keep being talked about after the inevitable move down.
* My cost basis is $2.949 on $IONZ and in no way is this a recommendation to buy or sell. This is just my opinion!
*The prior “dinner table” trade for me was the big reversal buy on $UNH in August!
