1. Rigetti Computing and other quantum stocks plummeted after NVDA CEO Jensen Huang suggested that good things were far in the future. 2. Investors need to consider the context of Huang's remarks and remember that these investments are more like angel/venture capital situations than conventional companies. 3. Rigetti is the leading company in the superconducting protocol within quantum computing, which is fast but presents more error challenges. Choosing Rigetti's protocol involves accepting higher risk for greater growth potential. 4. For those who understand quantum computing investing, the author rates Rigetti 'Buy'.
