Here is an article submitted to OSN by Lurker ‘B.K.’ that he sent to OSN and requested be posted on the front page. Thanks for the article B.K.! You should post in the forums too! If you have an article you’d like posted. Send it to bullpup@oneseasonnation.com

Don’t follow the naysayers into the fireselling-If you’re smart!

There are people out there would have have you believe that the skies are grey, and trouble looms on the horizon for OneSeason. Some of them are promoting the crash, and pleading the end, because they are trying to buy up shares as fast as they can. They other people are a pretty funny bunch. They are the people who expect OneSeason to save them from their SHITTY purchases. If you listen to Oneseason Radio, you’ve heard for weeks who these terrible purchases are. (BMAR, DMAC, TMAC, etc) And these guys who have made shitty decisions are now trying to cry foul and blame OneSeason and try to have someone else take responsibility for their own trading actions. Hey, Smart Guys. If you lose your money, someone else made money. Congrats on playing OneSeason poorly. Maybe you should have paid more attention to the community, and who people were hot or not on, and traded accordingly. The Brett was pretty smart getting out of GTZY months back, and was laughed at when he did it for $7. Now Gretzky is selling for $2.00. Who’s fault is that? Are you mad at OneSeason, are you mad at Brett? Point the finger at yourself. You are just mad because people beat you to the punch!

boo hoo someone just profited off of me

Some of these people, who have made LAUGHABLE choices on who to own in their sportfolio, now want to point the finger at OneSeason, and blame OneSeason for their sportfolio. The FACTS are, if YOU lose money in OneSeason, someone else MADE money. Plain and simple. Don’t buy into the hype of the sky is falling. We’ve heard some great interviews from Mike Sroka and D.J. on One Season Nation regarding the future of the site. We know there is more fun stuff coming, and they are very excited. There are dozens of sites popping up all around us based on games, and other things to do with regards to OneSeason. Don’t buy into the gloom and doom. Please don’t follow the people who are just pissed of at their SHITTY decisions and trying to piss everyone off, and blame OneSeason, and call for OneSeason to fix things. Hey Dudes, YOU bought your shares, and OTHER PEOPLE are selling them for less than you paid for them. Suck it up, and stop your WHINING. I have bought myself nice positions in a few different guys, and haven’t been affected at all buy the crashing of the early issued players. All of these early issues are coming back down to earth and getting inline with the rest of these newer issued players. Stop your whining. Stop complaining. Stop blaming someone else for your decisions. Man up and do something about it. A lot of guys in the “Nation” forums complained about losses before, but by staying in tune with what is going on, a lot of them report being in the positive now. OneSeason is strong, and come football season, you will all be very happy that you found OneSeason when you did.

-BK OUT

If you own any of the following SOIs, then you are pretty happy right now. You have come out of today completely unscathed! OSN has been predicting this crash for awhile now, and it seems the smart money has been to take the dollars out of the over-owned(tm) Pre-Hoo SOIs, and buy nice large chunks of these recent players coming out. 2-3-4 people can band together and own 20-40-60% or more of these players coming out, and breeze right through crashes like this, completely unharmed.

In big crashes like this, if you hold a major percentage of an SOI that doesn’t have that many owners to begin with due to the SOIs low outstanding shares, you should have good protection from a crash like this.

The smart money had liqudated weeks ago, and now has cash to pick and choose their spots, and it no doubt scooping up great deals out there now. So, without further ado, your safe stocks of the Crash of 4/27/09 (as of 8pm PST).

If your sportfolio today was made up of entirely or mostly of these SOIs, you were pretty happy today.

Post of the Day from pjnc2003:

there are 341,006 SOIs Outstanding.
Today’s Total Trade Volume is 2,422.
2422/341006 = 0.0071025143252611391001917854817804

think of the 338584 shares NOT traded today

This was explained on episode 1 of OSN-TV right at the very beginning. People let a VERY small amount of shares being traded (in this case 7 tenths of a percent) affect their perception of the entire market.

I want OneSeason to Drive the Market Upwards. FU#&ing NOW!!! and more cheeseburgers please...

here is a letter I received earlier from a OneSeason Nation member, enjoy

When you look around the world of OneSeason, there are a certain group of people who are screaming for OneSeason to make changes to make the market move. They want OneSeason to advertise on the Superbowl. They want new users to pin their shares that they’re hoarding onto. They want OneSeason to increase the IPO rate. They want OneSeason to slow down the IPO rate. They want OneSeason to bring massive tidal waves of cash to the site………all so they can pin their shares and bad investments in the past on new users.

Newsflash gang. This IS NOT going to happen. OneSeason has ZERO interest in “making you rich”. They have 1 goal in mind right now, and it’s has nothing to do with making the market move. The market movement is based on the users. Stop blaming OneSeason for a stagnant market, stop blaming OneSeason for things being boring, stop blaming OneSeason for your bad choices in spending YOUR money, stop blaming OneSeason for your buddies depositing thousands of dollars and only having $1 left in their account. This isn’t OneSeason’s fault. It’s your fault. You spent your money, and gave it to someone else. Someone else has your money. You gave it to them. They sold you their shares. Now you want a massive flood of new users, so you can back out of the mistake you think you made, and pass those shares onto some new unsuspecting user. Get a grip, dude. Jesus.

OneSeason’s number 1 goal right now, and number 1 priority, and NOTHING will change this fact is that they are building the site. They are adding features. They are working on redesigns. They are fixing ghost orders. They are testing, testing again, testing some more, and then retesting. They are gathering data. They will use this data in the future in helping them make educated decisions with regards to improvements to the site and marketing.

They are not here to make you money. They are not here to make changes to make your shares more valuable. Their sole mission, right now, is to build the site, and make the system the best it possibly can be going forward. Everyone with their bitching and moaning about stagnant markets and OneSeason needing to restore faith in the people who lost all that money in the past……that wasn’t OneSeason’s fault. It is a free market, noone held a gun to anyone’s head forcing them to buy someone elses shares…

but now it seems people want to hold a gun to OneSeason’s head for similar reasons…

From Nation Member Vxon…

“Annual revenue could hit $50 million to $100 million if OneSeason reaches 3 million users after a few years, Sroka said, adding he sees quick profits with modest traction. The ultimate potential for the website is far greater than the $800 million fantasy sports industry, he added.

“If successful, you’d have an exchange trading more issues than the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq combined,” said Phil Drayer, chief executive of Dallas investment firm Kalydus Management, which provided Sroka with $250,000 in start-up capital. “I see the marketplace being enormous.”
