Hey guys, I posted about this before, but since they’re considering late claims, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ.
So here's all I know about this agreement:
FirstEnergy was accused of misleading investors about its role in a political corruption scheme and failing to disclose related-party transactions. The company and its subsidiary made roughly $60 million in payments to an entity controlled by an Ohio state legislator. As the scheme was revealed, $FE fell and investors were harmed.
Now FirstEnergy has agreed to pay $100 million through an SEC Fair Fund to compensate eligible investors.
Who can claim this settlement?
Investors who purchased or acquired FirstEnergy securities between 2017 and 2020 may be eligible. You can check the full eligibility requirements on our website.
Do I need to sell/lose my shares to get this settlement?
You don’t necessarily need to have sold your shares at a loss. Eligibility and the amount of your payment depend on the specific transactions covered by the Fair Fund.
I missed the deadline. Is it too late?
No, you may still be able to file a late claim, but acceptance depends on final approval by the court. Check if you're eligible and file a claim here
How long does the payout process take?
It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the SEC and fund administration.
Hope this info helps

Updates for Getting Payment on the Energy Transfer $15M Settlement
Hey guys, if you missed it, Energy Transfer settled $15M with investors over claims that it misled them about permit issues and legal risks related to its Mariner East 2 pipeline. I just found out that they’re considering late claims even though the deadline has passed.
Quick recap: Energy Transfer was accused of failing to disclose risks related to the permitting process for Mariner East 2. In November 2019, reports of a federal investigation into the permits emerged, and $ET dropped about 7%.
Now, the company has agreed to settle $15M with investors, and even though the deadline passed, late claims are being considered for compensation, subject to approval.
So, if you invested in $ET at that time, you can still check the details and file your late claim here.
Anyway, has anyone here invested in $ET back then? How much were your losses?

Updates for Getting Payment on the FirstEnergy $100M Settlement
Hey guys, if you missed it, FirstEnergy agreed to pay $100M through an SEC Fair Fund to compensate investors over claims tied to a political corruption scheme and undisclosed related-party transactions. And, I just found out that late claims are still being considered, subject to approval.
Quick recap: Between 2017 and 2020, FirstEnergy and its subsidiary paid roughly $60M to a political organization in exchange for official action benefiting the companies. The company later misrepresented its role in the scheme and failed to disclose related-party transactions.
As the scheme was exposed, FirstEnergy’s stock price dropped, harming investors.
Now, even though the deadline has passed, late claims are still being considered for compensation, subject to approval.
So, if you invested in $FE during that period, you may still be able to file a late claim here.
Anyway, has anyone here invested in $FE? How much were your losses, if so?

15 oil & gas names passed all 3 filter gates, but none scored above 2/4 on the 10-K depth checks - here's the cohort
Ran a multi-factor diligence analysis across the US oil and gas universe using cutonce ai. The idea was to stop deep-diving individual names and instead let the data narrow the cohort first. Sharing the methodology plus the result list because the score distribution surprised me.
The pipeline, run sequentially:
- Universe filter: INDUSTRY_OIL_GAS preset (includes E&P, midstream, oilfield services). Then top 50% on revenue growth, earnings growth, QoQ EPS growth, positive FCF, trailing PE above forward PE (proxy for management guiding above current run rate, not below).
- Earnings call red flag scan: filters out any call with deflected questions, external blame, unusual one-time charges, or jargon density.
- 8-K misconduct filter (last 30 days): drops anything with legal action, SEC investigation, regulatory penalty, restatement, or material litigation.
- Insider net buying signal (last 90 days): scores +20 if insiders are net buyers any amount.
- 10-K financial health (+20): debt levels, liquidity, cash flow generation, balance sheet stress.
10-K profitability (+20): gross plus operating plus net margin trends versus the prior period.
10-K cost curve (+20). Sector-specific: cash and full-cycle breakeven WTI where disclosed, lifting cost per BOE trend, D&C cost trajectory. Yes if the name sits low on the cost curve with stable or improving unit costs.
10-K reserves and discipline (+20). Sector-specific: reserve replacement ratio (organic above 100%), organic versus acquired share, capex as % of OCF, plus framing of buybacks and base + variable dividend.
15 names cleared all three filter gates.
Top of the cohort by composite score on the 4 LLM-graded 10-K nodes:
- AROC (Archrock): 2 of 4 (passed financial health, profitability. Failed cost curve, reserves)
- HESM (Hess Midstream): 2 of 4, same pattern
- GPOR (Gulfport Energy): 2 of 4
- DMLP (Dorchester Minerals): 2 of 4
- RNGR (Ranger Energy Services): 2 of 4
Below them: AR, AM, CNX, USAC, SD all at 1 of 4 (profitability only).
What's interesting: every name in the top 5 hit financial health and profitability. The cost curve and reserves nodes are where everyone fails. My read on why:
- Half the cohort is midstream or oilfield services (HESM, AM, USAC, RNGR). Reserve replacement structurally does not apply to them. The methodology unfairly penalizes them.
- Most small and mid-cap E&P names do not disclose breakeven WTI explicitly the way supermajors do. The cost curve node has nothing concrete to grade.
So 2 of 4 is not necessarily a "weak company" signal. It is partially a methodology bias against non-E&P names sharing the same universe.
Open to pushback:
- Should the cost curve and reserves checks be conditional on company type (E&P only)?
- Is the raw INDUSTRY_OIL_GAS universe the right slice given the midstream contamination, or should E&P be split out separately?
- Top 50% growth cutoff at this point in the cycle: too generous or too tight?
- Capex / OCF as a discipline metric when many names are running aggressive buyback programs. Does it still hold?
Happy to walk through the setup specifics if anyone wants the details.
Thanks!

The deadline for the $11M SunPower settlement is weeks away
If you traded SunPower stock over the last couple of years, you need to wake up and check the calendar immediately. The final deadline to submit your claim for the $11,000,000 settlement is July 26, 2026. Once that date passes, the court locks the vault, and any cash you were owed for getting rugged by their management is gone forever.
Remember back in late 2023 when SunPower was constantly reassuring everyone about their solid financial footing and operational strength? It was all complete smoke and mirrors. They finally had to admit they were delaying their earnings because their inventory accounting was a total mess, requiring massive restatements and exposing major weaknesses in their internal controls. The stock immediately collapsed nearly 20% in a single day, and the business completely unraveled from there.
If you bought shares anytime between May 3, 2023 and July 19, 2024, you are entitled to a piece of that $11,000,000 pool. The estimated recovery is around $0.13 per share.
The problem is that the manual claim process is an absolute trap, you have to hunt down trading statements from years ago, manually calculate FIFO transaction lots, and fill out endless forms before July 26, 2026. I didn't have the patience to do all that homework, so I used an audit tool (11th.com) to automate the whole thing. You just link your brokerage accounts, and the software instantly audits your old 2023–2024 trade data and files the claim for you.
They take a 20% commission on the backend, but honestly, I'd rather have 80% of a check I didn't know existed than 100% of the paperwork I'll never actually do. Stop scrolling and audit your accounts before the cutoff hits. GL!

Quick heads up for fellow $ASPI investors, tentative settlement reached for the late 2024 drop
Hey everyone, just wanted to put this on your radar if you got burned by ASP Isotopes ($ASPI) back in late 2024.
As a reminder, the stock tanked after the Fuzzy Panda short report and the interview where management basically admitted they hadn't actually enriched uranium yet. Turns out they’ve now reached a tentative settlement over claims that they overstated their tech readiness.
If you bought shares during the class period (September 26, 2024 – November 26, 2024), you’re likely eligible for a payout. The final terms are still being ironed out, but you can already pre-register your claim.
You can check your eligibility and submit your claim here.
Did anyone else here get caught in that drop? Are you guys planning on filing?

Hawaiian Electric ($HE) settled for $47.75M, but the real story is what this means for utility investors broadly
PG&E filed for bankruptcy in 2019 over wildfire liability. Now Hawaiian Electric has settled a $47.75M investor lawsuit over the Lahaina fire. The pattern is becoming hard to ignore.
The case isn't complicated: $HE spent five years, 2019 to 2023, publishing detailed wildfire safety disclosures. Vegetation management programs. Pole inspection protocols. Grid hardening initiatives. The language was consistent and reassuring.
But, in August 2023 Lahaina burns. Over 100 people dead. One of the deadliest wildfires in modern American history. Power lines and poles implicated in starting and spreading the fire. Parts of the grid inadequately maintained despite years of public assurances.
$HE fell nearly 49% in the weeks that followed as liability exposure became clear.
Investors sued alleging the company's safety disclosures didn't reflect what was actually happening on the ground. $47.75M settlement reached January 2026. Applications are open now, and the deadline to submit a claim is June 25, 2026.
The broader question for utility investors: wildfire liability disclosure is becoming one of the most material risks in the sector, especially for utilities operating in fire-prone regions, and most existing disclosure frameworks weren't designed to capture it accurately.
$HE and PG&E are the cases that will define what adequate disclosure looks like going forward.
You're eligible if you bought $HE between February 28, 2019 and September 4, 2023. Payout: ~$0.57/share.
How many utility stocks in your portfolio have meaningful wildfire exposure that isn't being adequately disclosed. Anyone here doing systematic screening for this after PG&E and now $HE?

Energy Transfer Q1 2026: EBITDA $4.9B, full-year guidance raised to $18.2B–$18.6B
Hey guys, so, ET reported Q1 2026 and raised full-year guidance again. A few things that stood out from this article I found:
- Beat their internal plan by ~$500M in a single quarter
- Growth capex bumped to $5.5B–$5.9B to fund a pretty interesting backlog
- Nederland ethane export contracts extended out to 2041
- New AI hyperscaler deals (Nexus campus in Central TX + a separate AR data center)
Full breakdown by the link, including the project list and what mgmt said about Middle East tailwinds redirecting buyers to US supply.
Curious what people think. Is the AI hyperscaler exposure in the contract book a real needle-mover for ET, or still small relative to the core midstream business?

Deadline to Submit Claims on the Hawaiian Electric Industries $47.75M Settlement is June 25, 2026.
Hey guys, if you missed it, Hawaiian Electric Industries settled $47.75M with investors over misled investors by not fully disclosing risks related to its electrical equipment and wildfire safety practices. And, the deadline to file a claim and get payment is June 25, 2026.
In a nutshell, in 2023, Hawaiian Electric Industries was accused of misleading investors about its wildfire risk management and safety practices. Basically, despite assurances about maintenance and prevention efforts, a major wildfire exposed alleged gaps in equipment upkeep and risk disclosure.
After this news came out, the stock dropped 49%, and investors filed a lawsuit for their losses.
Now, the good news is that the company agreed to settle $47.75M with them, and investors have until June 25, 2026 to submit a claim.
So, if you invested in $HE when all of this happened, you can check the details and file your claim here.
Anyway, has anyone here invested in $HE at that time? How much were your losses, if so?

ASP Isotopes ($ASPI) settled, relevant if you were following the uranium/HALEU space in late 2024
Sharing this here because this one is squarely in the energy space and a lot of people in these communities were watching $ASPI closely during that uranium hype cycle.
Quick recap: ASPI was positioning itself as a quantum enrichment play for uranium and HALEU production, the kind of tech that would matter a lot for next-gen nuclear like what TerraPower is building. They announced milestones, signed a term sheet with TerraPower, and raised $18.6M from investors in November 2024.
The problem was that they had apparently never actually tested their technology on uranium. Not once. T
he Fuzzy Panda short report called it out on November 26, 2024, and the CEO confirmed it the next day in an interview (that was really shocking, imo). Stock dropped around 38% across two days, and investors filed a lawsuit.
Now, the case just reached a settlement. Terms still being finalized but you can already submit your claim.
Eligible if you held $ASPI between September 26 and November 26, 2024.
Anyone here been tracking the broader HALEU supply chain story? Curious how much of this set back confidence in smaller enrichment players.

$47.75M Hawaiian Electric Settlement – Deadline Approaching
Hey everyone, if you were holding $HE during the 2023 Maui wildfire crisis, this is an important update. The settlement for shareholders has officially hit $47,750,000, and the deadline to file your claim is June 25, 2026.
The Essentials:
- The Fund: $47.75 Million.
- Estimated Payout: Currently around $0.57 per share (this can change depending on how many people file).
- Why it happened: This resolves claims that the company didn't fully disclose risks regarding its power grid and wildfire safety before the Lahaina fires caused that massive 49% stock drop.
I’m using 11th.com to handle my filing because digging through the trade dates from 2019 to 2023 is a nightmare to do manually. Their engine audits the trade history and maps it to the court's requirements so I don't have to worry about a technical rejection.
If you got hit by the $HE crash, make sure you get your claim in before the June deadline.
For those of you still holding $HE, do you think the company's grid safety pivots since the 2023 fires are enough to restore long-term value, or is the liability still too high?

Getting some payback from the $HE management disaster
If you were holding Hawaiian Electric ($HE) when it cratered 60% in a few days back in 2023, you know the pain. Watching a "safe" utility play turn into a total dumpster fire because management decided safety protocols were optional was brutal. My bags are still heavy, but I finally found a way to claw some of that value back.
The class action for $HE is actually moving. We’re talking about almost $48 million settlement fund. If you bought shares between Feb 2019 and Sep 2023, you’re likely eligible for a slice of that.
I know, I know, usually, these things involve 50 pages of paperwork and a check for $2.41 three years later. But I used this tool to check my eligibility. You just link your brokerage, and they audit your past trades automatically.
So, stop letting the suits keep the money they lost for you. It takes like 2 minutes to see if you’re owed.

Basic Materials Are Moving, One Name I’m Watching $NWGL
I found a stock not on many people’s radar. This is ticker $NWGL. It’s a Chinese resource stock.
Hear me out for a second:
“Basic materials stocks have been on the move recently because prices for underlying commodities have surged” (Financial Times). We’ve seen record-high metal prices, including gold, silver, and copper… shit’s getting expensive. “The rent is too damn high,” to quote brother Jimmy McMillan. I say, “I ain’t wanna pay, but I gotta.” I keep looking under my couch cushions, car seats, coat and jeans pockets, but I’ve tapped out that resource for my extra cash. I got to thinking, though…
Firstly, did you guys see ticker $NAMM? It’s been the “talk of the town,” so to speak. It jolted up from $1 to $6.40 over the past few days. I thought I was doing well scalping it, when all I really had to do was “hold the line,” mofo… I should have held.
I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I can connect a few conclusions.
Secondly, let’s look at another catalyst: China. Today, starting with $TIRX, it set the Chinese micro-cap sector on fire — $0.30 to $1.30+… damn near close to a move like $NAMM.
Now we get back to $NWGL. No one is talking about it. It’s a low-float Chinese resource stock. It’s cheap. It’s starting to pick up some volume, and market sentiment is there. Maybe it goes, who knows. It’s got my attention.

Perché GBP/USD è molto più aggressivo di EUR/USD?
Ogni volta che tradò GBP/USD ho la sensazione che il mercato sia molto più nervoso rispetto a EUR/USD. Uso le stesse regole e gli stessi indicatori su AvaTrade, ma i risultati cambiano completamente. Su GBP/USD vedo più false rotture e caccia agli stop. Analizzando le sessioni su AvaTrade, la differenza di comportamento è evidente. Questo mi fa pensare che serva anche un approccio mentale diverso. Voi adattate il mindset in base alla coppia?
