Shares of Rocket Lab Corp ( RKLB ) are trading lower Monday, potentially on continued downward momentum. The company last week reported third-quarter earnings and multiple operational updates. The stock is also continuing a recent sell-off that has erased 22% of gains over the last week and 35% over the past month.

Macro headwinds have been to blame. Hawkish comments from Federal Reserve officials regarding sticky inflation have dampened hopes for rate cuts, hammering tech-heavy indices and growth stocks in recent sessions.

How To Buy RKLB Stock

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.

For example, in Rocket Lab’s case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
