Friend Envy anyone?

Anyone get this? Where a friend invested in some stock that you were contemplating and made a bucket while you waited

My friends and I have similar interests and although we aren't open enough to share our financial situations (mainly because I'm sure theirs are much better then mine), we often talk about stocks and markets. I found a stock I liked the look of and and started doing my research. By the time I'd done my due diligence the price had rocketed from 2.50 to 4.50 in less than 3 weeks. Chatting to friends I find out that one had invested $5k just at the point I had started my investigation making $4k profit to date. Sometimes I wish I had just jumped in, and I'm glad I did my research but I missed out on a ton of money.

Just wanted to introduce myself!

Hello!

I'm the newest mod over here at the amazing /r/StockMarket and I wanted to say hello to all my fellow traders / investors or people just looking for info on the markets in general. I have a background in chemical engineering and am currently a professional day trader who has been trading since 2008.

I trade with a group of seasoned traders and over the weeks we are going to help transform a lot of this subreddit into a content hub for just about anything you guys are interested in. Our ideas currently are everything from AMA's, interviews, subject material experts, market analysis, or even helping guide any of you 1-on-1 with whatever trade you are working on or interested in. Really it's going to be whatever you guys want to see around here. So please definitely make posts about whatever content you'd like to see over the next few weeks, or just let me know personally in a private message. We hope to make this community the one-stop-shop for all things stock market!

As part of the roll out I also wanted to introduce our streaming podcast. Tonight we just had our "trial run" to get all the electronic / mechanical kinks worked out, sound tests, etc... It's going to be a scripted show Sundays from 6:00-7:00 EST, starting 2/28/2016.

The link for our main channel is here so feel free to subscribe for the podcast and streamed trading that is to come. The trial run of us talking market for a few hours you are welcome to check out here so you can get a head start to what my trading group and I are all about and a glimpse at how we trade. Standard "I am not a broker, I can't technically give investing advice so trade at your own risk" disclaimer applies of course. For entertainment purposes only! :)

So once again thanks for having me on board, and I look forward to getting to know all of you better

Happy trading everyone!

Help with Molycorp bankruptcy: Consent to Third Party Releases?... What does that mean?

I invested in the common stock of rare-earth-metals miner Molycorp (MCP) a couple years ago, and commodity prices and operational costs torpedoed them into Chapter 11 bankruptcy late last year.

It was a risky stock pick and shame on me, but if I can recover a portion of that cash or maintain stock if the company can climb out of bankruptcy, I would like that.

I do not understand the Third Party Release election/voting ballot I received in the mail this week, and I’m not sure how to portray my preference. Anyone in the same boat or able to provide an interpretation?

It says: "If you do not consent to the Third Party Releases, you may elect to opt-out and not grant such releases by checking the box to the right. If you do not return this Election Form or you return this Election Form but do not check the box to the right, you will be bound by the Third Party Releases. Election to withhold consent is at your option."

The options are Box 1) "For (Opt-out of releases)" or Box 2) “Abstain.”

Here is a link with some more background on the case: http://ift.tt/1Tujl8r

Thanks!
