Why I'd Bend the Rules on Rocket Lab
Here's my revised plan for this old 'Stocks Under $10' favorite.
Stephen GuilfoyleDec 10, 2024 10:15 AM EST
“ What Now?
You know I hate violating my net basis, but with this one, I see no choice if I want to grow the position. Our net basis stands at $5.05, which even after the drawdown puts us up almost 350%.
Readers will see that RKLB broke sharply out of that Andrews' Pitchfork model that I showed you last month. Relative Strength no longer stands in technically overbought territory. It's early, but the stock could be setting up what may end up being a bearish head and shoulders pattern. On top of that, below the chart, readers will see a now bearish looking daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator.
Within that daily MACD, the histogram of the 9-day exponential moving average has gone negative, while the 12-day EMA has crossed under the 26-day EMA. We may get a chance to add to this long position lower or make a sale up here if that's what you're thinking. I am thinking of adding in between that 21-day EMA (currently $21.30) and the 50-day simple moving average (currently $15.10).
I don't think I need to even act unless the stock falls to those levels. I'll still panic (intentionally and planned, so it's not really a panic) if that 50-day line breaks. My Target price? Currently $33, and that's predicated on a new high being created that launches an algorithmic response. More than likely, the time is here to manage this position.”

Rocket Lab stock slips following insider selling
By Keith Noonan – Dec 8, 2024 at 9:15PM
Rocket Lab kicked off this past week's trading with a round of big selloffs following insider selling disclosures with the SEC. The company submitted filings on Nov. 27 that showed four company insiders had sold shares in the week of the filing. On Nov. 25, Chief Operating Officer Frank Klein, Chief Financial Officer Adam Spice, and General Counsel Arjun Kampani sold 35,968 shares, 62,511 shares, and 28,562 shares, respectively. The next day, board Director Merline Saintil sold 50,000 shares.
Rocket Lab then made additional filings with the SEC showing additional insider stock sales and purchases this week. On Dec. 2, board Director Alexander Slusky sold 50,000 shares. He then sold an additional 50,000 shares the following day.
On the other hand, CEO Peter Beck actually acquired 789,373 shares on Dec. 3. But the filings with the SEC suggest that the company stock Beck acquired was not purchased on the open market and instead received through stock options or bonus grants.

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:RKLB) shares are trading higher on Friday.
The firm has announced the upcoming “Owl The Way Up” mission, set to launch on December 18th, 2024, from its Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand.
This mission will deploy the latest satellite in Synspective’s growing Earth observation constellation.
The StriX satellite, designed to monitor millimetre-level changes to Earth’s surface using synthetic aperture radar (SAR), will be the sixth of 16 launches planned on Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket for the Japanese Earth observation company.
The partnership between Rocket Lab and Synspective began in 2020 and has flourished, with Rocket Lab serving as Synspective’s exclusive launch provider.
By flying dedicated missions instead of ridesharing, Rocket Lab allows Synspective to have greater control over their launch schedule and mission parameters, offering a unique level of flexibility for small satellite operators.
Rocket Lab’s founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck, highlighted the strong relationship with Synspective, emphasizing their shared vision of enabling persistent monitoring of the planet.
“We’re looking forward to placing another StriX satellite in orbit and supporting Synspective’s vision to enable persistent monitoring of our planet to support disaster relief, agricultural development, maritime domain awareness and much more,” Beck said.
2024 has been a remarkable year for Rocket Lab, with 14 launches so far, surpassing its previous annual record of 10 missions in 2023.
According to Benzinga Pro, RKLB stock has gained over 428% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via SPDR S&P Kensho Final Frontiers ETF (NYSE:ROKT).

MAHIA, New Zealand--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) (“Rocket Lab” or “the Company”), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today successfully launched its 56th Electron mission, deploying five satellites to Low Earth Orbit for French Internet-of-Things (IoT) constellation operator Kinéis.
The “Ice AIS Baby” mission lifted-off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand at 4:55 pm on 25 November NZDT (03:55 UTC), successfully deploying five satellites to a 643 km low Earth orbit. The mission was Rocket Lab’s 14th mission of 2024 and 56th launch overall. It also brought the total count of satellites deployed by Rocket Lab to 203, further cementing Electron’s position as the leading small launch vehicle globally. The launch took place just 21 hours and 55 minutes after Rocket Lab completed a successful mission from Launch Complex 2 in Virginia, setting a new company record for fastest turnaround between launches.
Rocket Lab founder and CEO Sir Peter Beck said: “Two successful launches less than 24 hours apart from pads in different hemispheres. That’s unprecedented capability in the small launch market and one we’re immensely proud to deliver at Rocket Lab. Customers like Kinéis are unlocking the potential of space and we’re excited to give them the keys to do so with frequent, dedicated, and reliable small launch opportunities.”
Kinéis CEO Alexandre Tisserant, says: “The Kinéis teams have once again demonstrated their technical capabilities as satellite operators by taking control of these five new satellites at a sustained launch rate.
