Everyone is pissed off at this low market. I’m not making any money, and I’m sure most of you aren’t right now either. Don’t worry, have some faith in the basic principles of economics.

There are variable effects causing this large dip. A large issue is the excess supply. Right now there are too many people with large amounts of shares and not enough investors/buyers. Supply is high and demand is low. Some people may have 900 shares of Lebron at $0.50 each. They are more prone to sell at $7 over a person that has 8 shares of Lebron at $5 each. The market is going through a flush-out process right now. Slowly people with large amounts of shares are selling out and not dominating the supply chain. Over time supply will trickle down and the buyer:seller ratio will be more friendly. An additional issue is depositing money. Many people are being denied through credit/debit cards, holding up potential money. I emailed OS and they said they have “an issue with our fraud filters being too strict and are working on adjusting them so that you will be able to deposit.” Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Without people splitting as fast as past weeks, supply will only even out, eliminating some monopoly (the few that have thousands of shares). As this market goes through this dip, it has the potential of reverse splitting. Yes it seems unlikely because it has to be under $0.50; however if a reverse split were to occur, it would help speed the process of undercutting the supply. Perhaps reverse splits should be higher than $0.50, maybe a price around $3.00 would help with more reverse splits. Yes I know many people are nodding there heads praying reverse splits wont cut there 400 shares in half. But remember, reverse splits hurt the individual but help the market stay afloat.

Additional note: (notice the range of prices fluctuating during this dip. For instance the range is sometimes $3-7 a share and sometimes $6-11 a share. This is occurring because as soon as it gets to 11, the interest in selling (supply) rises and prices drop, as the price gets low, interest in buying rises and prices rise)

Has anyone heard of this new, innovative idea that is taking hold of the football world? It’s a new formation called the “wildcat formation” where a quarterback plays wide receiver and the running back takes a direct snap from the center. How about the new instant replay system in baseball? Ever head of that? If the answer to these two questions is no, you probably haven’t watched or read any sports publications in the past few months. The sports media loves innovation and any new wrinkle that can be added to a sport will be analyzed for hours on end. If true innovation is so great, however, why hasn’t any major sports media outlet such as ESPN, CBSSportsline, Fox Sports, or even any newspapers’ sports section reported on the biggest innovation to happen to the world of sports in quite some time, the OneSeason sports stock market.

I have had many thoughts about why this story hasn’t been widely picked up, however none of them seem to be correct. First, I thought to myself “maybe these outlets haven’t heard of OneSeason since it is relatively new”. I decided to take it upon myself to alert people of this market and I e-mailed over 30 newspapers, as well as many major sports websites and television stations to let them know about OneSeason and to write something about it to help grow the market. Out of all these publications, only a few got back to me and none followed through on the idea to write an article. Now that everyone the secret was out, I thought maybe people just didn’t want to write this article because it isn’t about what actually happens on the field. This idea was quickly taken out of my head when I looked on many of the major websites that I let know about this market and there were hundreds of articles about fantasy sports, and who to “buy” or “sell”, which could easily be written in a similar fashion about the sports stock market. Maybe, I thought, the sports media was just waiting for someone from the mainstream media to pick up on this idea and they would follow suit. This apparently hasn’t happened, as OneSeason has been mentioned in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, and many other major publications. My theory is that this is too big of an innovation and the major media just isn’t ready to handle a legitimate sports market out of fear for change.

Anyone reading OneSeasonTrader.com is probably as big of an idea that they can make money while investing in athletes as I am, and would love to see a segment or an article written by a major publication. I’ll write the article for any of these publications for free should they not want to  put one of their “real” writers on it, because the avid sports fan who cycles through his or her favorite sports’ websites numerous times a day has the right to know of this market and to try to make money in it. If anyone wants this to happen help me, help OneSeason, and help OneSeasonTrader make some real noise about this great new idea, so more people can join and the market can continue to expand.

You’re probably looking at this title thinking, I’m going to cry now, sell what I can and then make something off OneSeason, but I won’t be laughing later.  You won’t be I will.  The result of the massive dip in the OneSeason market is a simple factor.  A few of the top traders, who were here on day one, are selling some of their shares in order to get their wealthy checks within the next few days.  This will happen every so often, but the more people we get on the site, the more new cash we will be able to work with.  If old cash is moving out, you must have new cash to be coming in.  OneSeason is truly a great idea, and the more people that you can get to come into the market, the more successful this market will become.  You see all the shares under $10, now is the time to buy, not sell.  I think this is a rough times, but the ones who will stick out the rough time will be the ones “laughing” in the end.  The top traders made much more money very quickly because of players like Michael Jordan (AIRJ), LeBron James (KING), and Kobe Bryant (KOBE).  Think about getting several IPO shares of on of these players, that’s a lot of money.  With the number of users we have now, we will not be seeing huge cashouts like this because there are more people going after the IPO’s now, then there was of AIRJ, KING or KOBE.  If you think about it, it makes absolute sense, especially when everyone is selling all their shares in panic.  This is NOT a time to panic, this is a time to be laughing and buying while others are crying and selling.

LONG has been dropping now for a few days now, from 11.9 a few days ago to 8 most recently.  However, investing in him now could be a great buy.  Although the World Series is over, he has a great chance at winning the Rookie of the Year award.  High risk can mean high reward, he could be a great buy, I bought 200 shares myself, I know he’ll at least win for his league.

Monday was a strange day for the OneSeason market.  We saw a quick climb in the early hours of the market, and not to much from there.  Towards the end of the market, we saw a little bit of a climb, but not as much as we thought there was going to be.  There are several great buys on the market for Tuesday, and one that especially stands out in my eyes.  Here is what I am thinking the “must buys” are for Tuesday;

Jay Cutler (JCUT) – I think JCUT will be the best buy of the day.  He has just 22368 outstanding SOI’s, which is now the ninth lowest amount of outstanding SOI’s on the market.  He will open at a mind-blowing $10.38.  I’d say he should be number one on everyone’s radar for Tuesday morning.

C.C. Sabathia (CCSB) - With just 15488 outstanding SOI’s, which is the lowest amount of SOI’s on the market for Tuesday.  I thought we would have seen CCSB split on Monday, but it looks like we’ll have to wait until Tuesday to see CCSB split.  He will open at $18.46, which means I would buy as many CCSB’s as I can afford on Tuesday morning.  I would do this before Greg Oden (ODEN) hits the market and the price skyrockets.

Carlos Zambrano (BIGZ) – BIGZ is another great buy for Tuesday.  He currently hold the third least amount of outstanding SOI’s at just 17920, and opens at just $14.47 to start Tuesday.

Terrell Owens (OWEN) - OWEN was close to splitting on Monday, but just not enough of a push at the end of market hours.  He will open at $17.14, and with just 16896 outstanding SOI’s, his price is bound to sore come Tuesday.

Other Notible Pickups for Tuesday: Manny Ramirez (MANY), Darren McFadden (DMAC), Eli Manning (EMAN), Alex Rodriguez (AROD), Brandon Marshall (BMAR)

It was only a few days ago when we were dreaming big.   All was right in the OneSeason world as stocks were going nowhere but up and doing nothing but splitting.  The end was nowhere in sight. After all, this site was going to be the next big thing. It was the dot.com era of our generation. And best of all, we were in at exactly the right time.   However, sometime between then and now, that all changed. Your OneSeason dreams were put on hold. Thoughts of your new beach front house in Malibu quickly turned into ones of paying for next month’s rent. Now the ultimate question, why? It turns out this has changed for no reason at all. Let me explain.

Monday marked one of the first times in OneSeason’s short life where the market slumped. It was a disappointing day as we routinely refreshed our account page only to find our SOI prices dropping.  It is important to discuss why the market behaved like this way. Because people want simple answers to complex problems, I’m going to offer just that. The first factor was  the release of the ODEN IPO. When Oden was released into the IPO pipeline on Sunday at 6 PM, OneSeason members desperately sold off whatever stock they could to free up money to request Oden IPO’s.  Second, OneSeason members sold valuable stock in anticipation of the next IPO pipeline release which will most likely occur soon after the Oden stock is released. And lastly, due to the heavy market impact the IPO’s caused, inexperienced OneSeason members panicked.  Falling stocks only plunged further as “newbs” sold low in an effort to salvage whatever they could.  These are your simple answers for why the market struggled so much yesterday.

Despite today’s rough market, those who held strong onto their stock, and did not panic, will emerge as the biggest winners. As soon as Oden is released today, all of those who had money reserved for him and not get any, will have tons of money to spend. This will only result in one thing.  Yup, you’ve guessed it; the market will surge just like old times.  At times like this, perspective is needed. We have a website here in its infancy. Its market has grown to 18 million in less than a month. There are still fewer than 20 thousand users.  It’s hardly gotten any publicity. Imagine when the market grows, more users come in, and OneSeason gets more press. You will wish you didn’t panic.  So before you give up those big OneSeason dreams, have faith in the site.  Well, at least until the next big IPO comes out.

As a analyst for OneSeasonTrader.com I want to welcome everyone especially the newbies to the phenomenon that is going to change how we approach sports. The site has had some high profile articles recently as well as word of month spreading like wildfire.

A point of interest for all you newbies,  you all have found this phenomenon in its infancy. Yea you might of been told about the site by someone that’s made 100% of his investment. But that just means they got in a couple days ago. The site isn’t even a month old yet, it has barely begun. The rumors, the myth, the hype will continue to spread. It will continue to get publicity and it will continue to grow which means that you aren’t to late. You are still in a position to buy stocks for bargain prices and watch them grow.

To the newbies reading this that are still trying to figure out how the IPOs work or how long it takes to withdraw money. I want to give some words of wisdom from a veteran(27 days) trader like myself. First off, oneseason is designed to be fun. Second, be patient through the growing pains. Like i said the site is brand spanking new, so the site will have some bugs that they’ll have to work out. But more importantly be patient with the market, it will have some bumps down the road. So when the market hits a bump, word to the wise, don’t sell and cash out. I promise chances are good you’ll be kicking yourself in your butt when you see it recovered and then some. Third and final, spread the word to any one that will listen to you. Tell them about how much fun you are having and how much money you are making on oneseason. The snowball has just begun, we need everyone to help trigger the avalanche.

It is Monday afternoon and now you see a WHOLE bunch of stocks that you own are dropping like crazy. People are selling off Kobe’s, Lebron’s and Jordans at 1/2 of the yesterday closing end. You see your Peyton Manning (PMAN) that you paid $19 for last night and hoping to split, that dropped down to $12 and now you worried about losing profit. What to do? Getting worried?

There is no reason to panic right now. This is due to people selling off a lot of their shares to get in on the new IPO for Greg Oden or just to make their quick profit. This is when it is a perfect time to pick up players that have dropped in value. If you bought PMAN yesterday around $19 and now it dropped down to $12, it is best to pick some up at that price so your average cost will be around $15. Also, tonight Peyton Manning will be playing on monday nite football and if he does really well, there should be more than a good chance he will split tonight.

So today’s picks……

With the market going UP UP UP and DOWN and being steady…… my choice for today is:

Albert Pujols
PJLS Albert Pujols $10.81 0.05 345,920.00

Albert Pujols is one of the top 5 baseball players in the game today. He should be above Ryan Howard and Alex Rodriguez. It is debatable but for OneSeason.com, his stock is really undervalued. Even with the decline we are facing today, he should be around 425-450K total market value. So pick him up anywhere from $10-12, and he should end the day around $14-16. Its not a big jump as we have seen in the past, but this is still a good 40% boost. Don’t be surprised tomorrow when his stock goes up to $20+ and splits. Strong Buy.

Any questions, please feel free to msg me.
