Reddit Lounge & Social Media Analysis: Bitcoin Surge, Quantum Stocks, and Penny Plays

The Lounge thread (across subreddits: stocks, wallstreetbets, pennystocks, Daytrading, FuturesTrading) invites daily plays/strategies without full posts. Key highlights:

• DFLI
  : Anticipation for movement post-earnings and after-hours activity; bullish users target $5 EOY.
• Bitcoin
  : Users note it’s over $95k, hoping for a green Monday.
• GTBP
  : Warning of $200k paid promotion leading to pump-and-dump.
• Other Stocks
  : DVLT (pre-market conference Monday), GNS (loading plans due to manipulation news), CAPS (institutional holdings, watch count near 1k), PLSR (60-70% gain expected on helium results), CSAI (revenue up + new six-figure contract).

• Bitcoin
  : Surge above $95k driven by institutional adoption (ETF inflows: $524M net; Harvard increased holdings by 257% to $442.8M), Fed rate cuts (25bps), geopolitical tensions (Middle East, US-China trade), and safe-haven narrative. BlackRock’s iBIT leads with $19.4B AUM.
• Quantum Stocks
  : Dip-buying in pure-plays:
  • IONQ: Q3 revenue up 222% YoY ($39.87M) but -$3.58/share loss.
  • RGTI: 1564% 12-month gain but recent 48% monthly decline; $8-9B market cap.
  • QUBT: 280% YoY revenue growth, $1.25B financing, positive EPS surprise.
  • QBTS: $8.3B market cap, P/S ratio of 282.11; strong interest despite profitability challenges.
    All quantum stocks have negative earnings but improving revenue trajectories.
