 Friend, History rhymes. March 1968: Central banks ran out of gold. London shut down for two weeks. Gold went from $35 to $850. That's 2,329%. March 1980: COMEX couldn't deliver silver. They changed the rules. The Hunts got wiped out. But Silverado Mines ran 3,989%. March 2020: Swiss refineries closed. Delivery stopped. The CME made up a new contract on the fly. Karora Resources ran 847%. See the pattern? It's always March. The crunch. The rule changes. The chaos. Every time, paper holders got crushed. Mining stock holders got rich. The next big delivery month is April 2026. First Notice Day is March 31st. I've found the one stock set to capture the bulk of this wealth transfer. >> See My #1 Pick for the Coming Crisis << The Buck Stops Here,

Special Report Rocket Lab's Neutron Hiccup Sparked a Sell-Off—Overreaction or Omen?By Ryan Hasson. Originally Published: 2/10/2026. 
At a Glance- Rocket Lab has entered bear-market territory, driven by short-term uncertainty around Neutron testing and headlines about government funding.
- The broader uptrend remains intact, with shares holding above the 200-day moving average and showing signs of stabilization near the 50-day SMA.
- Wall Street remains bullish, with rising price targets and analysts viewing recent setbacks as routine development noise ahead of key catalysts.
Shares of Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ: RKLB), one of the fastest-growing names in the aerospace and defense sector, have come under pressure recently. The stock is down nearly 10% month-to-date and more than 20% from its record highs reached in January. As of the market close on Monday, Feb. 9, shares were off almost 24% from their peak, technically placing the stock in bear-market territory. After signing more than 220 Executive Orders… more than any president in American history… Donald Trump is preparing for one final move.
On February 24th — I have every reason to believe he will sign his Final Executive Order.
When I say that it's his FINAL executive order… Click here or below for this unbelievable story… The pullback marks a clear shift in momentum after an exceptional run. It also prompts an important question for long-term investors: Has the growth story fundamentally changed, or is this simply a routine reset within a much larger uptrend? What Triggered the Pullback?The initial catalyst for the sell-off came in January, when Rocket Lab disclosed that a Stage 1 tank ruptured during qualification testing at its Long Beach, California, facility. While the headline spooked markets, Rocket Lab quickly noted that such outcomes are not uncommon during development testing. The company confirmed there was no damage to surrounding facilities and that a replacement Stage 1 tank is already in production. Importantly, Neutron's development program remains active. Still, uncertainty over whether the incident could cause another delay to Neutron's maiden flight weighed on sentiment. Rocket Lab said it would assess the impact and provide an updated timeline during its fourth-quarter earnings call later this month, leaving investors without immediate clarity. More recently, shares faced additional pressure after Congress declined funding for a planned 2031 Mars sample-return mission. That headline renewed concerns around long-term government funding visibility, adding to the negative news flow. After a massive multi-year rally—RKLB surged more than 1,300% over the past three years—and with the stock extremely overbought earlier this year, some degree of profit-taking was inevitable once sentiment shifted. The Bigger Trend Remains IntactDespite the recent volatility, Rocket Lab's broader technical structure remains constructive. The stock has pulled back toward its rising 50-day simple moving average and, so far, appears to be finding support in the low-to-mid $70s. That price action suggests a potential higher low within its longer-term uptrend. Crucially, shares remain well above the 200-day moving average, a key indicator that the primary trend is still intact. Even after the correction, Rocket Lab remains positive year-to-date, underscoring how strong the underlying move has been. Other space-related stocks have also experienced similar pullbacks in recent weeks, pointing more toward sector-wide consolidation than company-specific deterioration. With investor enthusiasm around the space economy still elevated and speculation building about a potential SpaceX IPO later this year, interest in the sector remains strong. From a technical standpoint, the picture would only materially weaken if RKLB were to fall decisively below its 50-day moving average and head toward its 200-day moving average. For now, that scenario has not played out. Wall Street Remains SupportiveAnalyst sentiment has remained notably resilient throughout the pullback. Rocket Lab currently carries a consensus Moderate Buy rating, and price targets have continued to move higher. Three months ago, the consensus target sat near $57; as of early February it had climbed to almost $73. Several analysts characterized the Neutron testing issue as a routine part of launch-vehicle development rather than a fundamental setback. Bank of America reiterated its Buy rating, while TD Cowen reiterated confidence in Neutron's long-term potential, noting no facility damage occurred and that replacement hardware is already underway. Looking ahead, Rocket Lab's upcoming earnings report will be a key inflection point. Investors will focus on updates to Neutron's launch timeline, progress on vertical-integration efforts, margin trends and the company's growing backlog. For now, the recent pullback appears less like the end of the story and more like a pause—one that, over the long term, risk-tolerant investors may view as an opportunity rather than a warning sign.
