While quantum computing stocks had quite a ride last year, CNBC’s Jim Cramer continued to advise caution when considering buying. However, while he primarily discussed individual stocks, the performance of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is mostly in the green. Out of the VanEck Quantum Computing UCITS ETF, Defiance Quantum ETF, and WisdomTree Quantum Computing Fund, only the WisdomTree fund is down by 14% over the past year. The other two, on the other hand, are up by 21.8% and 38.9%, respectively. Advising viewers to “get the money and then you blow out of the stocks,” in late October, the CNBC TV host discussed some quantum computing stocks. “Get the money and blow out. Because the losses are overwhelming,” he added and outlined that competing with IBM and Alphabet was akin to bringing a “knife to a nuclear war fight.”
