When I first told you about Rocket Lab Inc. (RKLB) nearly two years ago, I did so because there was a lot to like:

🔵 We saw big opportunities for the “Space Economy” storyline. And given our belief that finding the best storylines helps you find the best stocks, the full-blown ignition of the Space Economy drew a line directly to Rocket Lab.

🔵 Big players like Blue Origin, the United Launch Alliance and SpaceX (SPCX) were getting all the headlines, meaning Rocket Lab was the kind of “under-the-radar” (aka “ahead-of-the-curve” and undervalued) company we like to bring you.

🔵 Better still, those Big Three launch firms, which were each privately held at the time, meant that there was no direct way for regular folks like us to invest.
