OSN: OK TIM!! YOU’RE THE MAN! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, AND SHOWING US WHY YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST FIERY, EMOTIONAL PLAYERS IN THE NBA!!
Kevin Durant was loaded into OneSeason at approximately 5:30PM today, and the Alert Battle ensued. People are very passionate about their preferred IPO Alert tool. Who’s is fastest? Bob’s Tool? OneSeason Alerts? OneSeason Text? Bob Rafferty from Bob’s Tool has announced that his Tool is 100% free after the Durant IPO. The other two alerts cost money. $10 for normal IPO’s, more for “premium” IPOs on OneSeasonText.com. OneSeason Alerts is $10 per IPO. The competition is sure to heat up after Durants IPO. The forums are ablaze with people backing up their Tool of choice. Who’s will be the fastest? How will the upcoming API feed for IPOs being released by OneSeason affect this situation? Time will tell. This is a situation to watch.
Larry Fitzgerald hit the OneSeason pipeline today, right in time for a good week of trading before he plays in the Superbowl next Sunday. Folks in the forums are seriously questioning the validity of this IPO issue. Was it forced because of the Superbowl coming? How about the timing on these IPOs. Is OneSeason trying to catch people off guard? Folks are pointing to an IPO coming out right after Barack Obama was announced as winning the election. Folks are pointing to an IPO coming out 20 minutes before OneSeason Brass was interviewed on OSTrader Radio. And tonight, and IPO was announced 30 minutes into the start of the first ever OSN/OST Invitational Poker Tournament. Is OneSeason trying to trick the Nation? Are they trying to surprise people? Is it all a coincidence? I’m thinking coincedence. You guys can put your tinfoil hats away.
And IPO coming out with the little volume, little growth, and little new user sign up just proves that we know absolutely nothing about the fabled “algorithm”. Tomorrow should be very interesting when FITZ is released. Noone has any money to spend! Many people are close to fully invested in the market, and had little to no money to request FITZ IPO shares. Many are also predicting a mini crash coming, due to the fact that people are heavily invested in SOIs right now, and there isn’t a lot of free cash out there. I’m not sure what will happen, I believe that people have been hoarding shares for weeks now, and at this stage in the game, I don’t believe it will be as easy to get people to panic sell, as in the past. People are perfectly fine with just holding their shares, and letting there be little to no volume. This week should be very interesting. How dirty is FITZ gonna get “did” tomorrow, based on we just saw happen to a living legend in Wayne Gretzky? Will BBEN come out right after FITZ is released? Before FITZ is released when there REALLY is no money out because everyone has it tied up in FITZ? Will the market crash? Will we see more articles and some sort of marketing campaign begin? Well Nation, the only thing we can say for sure is noone has any idea at all what will happen. Remember the two rules of successful trading. Don’t be scared. Don’t be greedy. Have a great week!
Gretzky ended up closing in the $17.00 range, which as far as value goes, puts him between Tom Brady and CC Sabathia and $40,000 less than Yao Ming. If you are looking for an SOI to hang your hat on long term (years not days), then this is your SOI. His market value right now is an outrage. OneSeason says that they plan on expanding into Canada as soon as possible. When this happens, and as OneSeason continues to grow, Wayne will only get more valuable. He is done. No argument he is the greatest of all time, and he can do nothing to tarnish this legacy. You will only get one chance.
Wayne Gretzky debuted in the IPO Pipeline of OneSeason today at approximately 10:40AM PST. This will be a great SOI on OneSeason, and The OneSeason Nation is estimating a short term $50,000 market cap, and long term the most valuable Hockey SOI traded! Good Luck everyone! The forums are on FIRE, talking about this!
Wayne Gretzky made an epic leap in the IPO list one OneSeason.com’s home page. He climbed the list faster than anyone we’ve seen in awhile, and is your next IPO to hit the pipeline. How do you think this SOI will do on OneSeason. Discuss! (click comments)
Wayne Gretzky, Big Ben, Larry Fitzgerald, Dirk Nowitski all tried to chase the Beaz down, but he wouldn’t be denied. Tonight Beasly IPO’d. The forums have a full thread dedicated to timestamps. The Nation is predicting a market cap of $8,000 to $12,000 on Michael Beasley. The Great One is Next. That will be a far better one. Folks are predicting Gretzky to be in the $50,000 Market Cap territory. Did you request your Beasley yet? Go request him! It can’t hurt!
One of the most debated, and hottest topics in the forums was settled once and for all, on Mike Sroka’s radio interview on OS Trader. Many people have been speculating the the IPO process is not automated. Many people have been saying OneSeason does it whenever they think is right. Many people have said many different things about it. Some people said that OneSeason has a monkey on staff who sits in the basement and pulls levers releasing IPOs totally at random. Sorry Mr. Monkey. You’re out of a job.
Tonight OneSeason CEO Mike Sroka confirmed that the IPO process of pulling an IPO off the list, is indeed 100% automated, with no influence by them. OneSeason uses a very complex algorithm that determines this “pull”. When this happens, OneSeason makes sure they have the correct people in place to monitor the site as the IPO is put into the pipeline, and once they are OneSeason approves the IPO to hit the pipeline.
The process of releasing the shares into the market is still manual, but in the future, they would like for that to be automated as well.
Babe Ruth hit the IPO pipeline on OneSeason tonight at approximately 8:29pm PST. If you had an IPO timestamp of more than two minutes, you are probably out of luck. This will be the first “dead guy” SOI to hit the market. We already have our first “retired guy” in Jordan. The Babe is the most anticipated IPO we’ve seen in awhile, and we won’t see another frenzy like he’s created until the Yankees hit the pipeline. The Yankees are currently #12 on the IPO list at the time of this writing. We learned tonight that the algorithm that pulls the IPOs into the pipeline is 100% automated. Once this algorithm (controlled by numerous market conditions) “pulls” an IPO, OneSeason gets their support staff together, makes sure everyone is ready to monitor the effects, stress, strain, and other potential problems on the site, and the IPO is put into the pipeline. We also learned tonight from Mike in the OST radio interview that although, while 4% is still currently the maximum amount of one IPO anyone can get, the actual percentage possible per user is also determined by market conditions, and can go down lower than that. We’ve seen 2%-ish on the last couple IPO’s. Will the overwhelming demand for BABE bring this number down? Will only the top 50 people who requested the BABE get their IPO shares? Does the market conditions warrant dropping the maximum percentage any one person can get below 2%? We’ll find out tomorrow.
Due to a concerted effort between the Nation, and OneSeason Trader…..Babe Ruth is now your next IPO. Way to go everyone. Keep canceling SCHMUCKS like Beasley, and vote for the players YOU want to see traded on OneSeason!
“Hey guys, sorry I’m late. I was….busy, yo. I heard the Nation forums have a time stamp thread up in thur, or you can just type that bitch as a comment up in here. Good luck, yo!”
No, we aren’t going to talk about 50 Cent OR Justin Timberlake. (Sorry TheBrett). The time has come that we need to discuss the alert programs. What are your thoughts on them? There are several tools out there to use. OneSeasonAlerts, Bob’s Tool, OneSeasonTools, and OneSeasonPro have been the tools of choice people use to get IPOs, other than manual refresh. Once a way to get an edge on the competition and secure yourself an IPO, now it has become a must have for everyone. Before everyone and their hamster had these great alerts, the average reaction time was around 5 minutes. If you got in, in under 5 minutes, you were good. Congratulations! Now with all of the promotion and use of these tools by nearly all active traders, you needed to have your IPO order for Shaq in approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds after he was posted. The IPO allocation system has proved to be tried and true on OneSeason’s part. What have we done by creating these tools, and distrubuting them freely to everyone? What are your thoughts for the future? Would you like to see these tools become more exclusive? Would you pay for the ability to keep using these tools to get IPOs? We have a poll up on the left side asking you this question. Feel free to leave a comment and discuss.
Shaq’s shares were released today at about 4pm PST today. He came out of the gate selling for $14.25, but no time jumped into the $30 range and as if the time of this writing, he is trading for $30.00 Only 772 shares of Shaq were released, and the word in the nation forums is that it seems you had to be within 1 minute and 30 seconds of his announcement to get shares allocated to you! Bullpup was indeed shut out on this one with a 14:18:37 timestamp. How’s that for the conspiracy theorists? Chew on that and get back to me.
Enjoy your free Shaq Mask as a trophy from today. Click it, print it, glue it to a cardboard backing, and tape it to a stick, and viola! Instant hit at a party. The market is closed tomorrow, but you know we’ll be here chatting in the forums, and delivering you great stuff from the world of sports, chicks, and OneSeason!
We were told at the Nation this was coming, and it’s finally here. This one is pretty important. There is a lot of talk about the quality of IPOs coming out. (Darren McFadden? Derrick Rose? Michael Beasley?) The IPO request process is SUPPOSED to pull the players who we want to see traded most into the market. One of the things that was happening was hundredsthousands a ton of people were trying to create the top upcoming IPO list in their own accounts. They did this by requesting everyone under the sun, copying the list posted here at the Nation, copying lists posted elsewhere, and tracking the IPO list from their account. Well because of this, every time someone wants to make this list in their account, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasely, and everyone else get another vote. There would be zero movement. Everyone on the list would get 1 more vote. OneSeason, by user feedback, has added an upcoming IPO list to their home page in the bottom right. Now you can take some serious action in the quality of IPOs that are coming out.
IMPORTANT!
Right now, go into your account in OneSeason and click “watch list”. Cancel every player who you don’t care about. Only leave up the players YOU want traded. This will adjust the IPO list, and as new IPOs roll out, only the players who the majority of folks REALLY want to see traded will be released as IPOs.
