Director William Teuber just made a bold bet on IonQ, snapping up 3,000 shares in a purchase worth exactly $115,140. Investors often watch insider buys closely, and this move at IonQ could signal growing confidence in the company’s quantum computing prospects.

At Citigroup, Director Mark Mason moved in the opposite direction, unloading 3,627 shares of Citigroup stock in a sale totaling $416,012. Such a sizable insider sale may prompt shareholders to ask whether this reflects routine diversification or a more cautious outlook on the banking giant.
