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.

NBA and NHL are coming to an end, MLB is up and running, NFL camps are in progress, and another year of sports greatness is upon us. For Oneseason, when the MLB season comes to an end, they will have completed their one year anniversary! Here is a preview of the strategies you can use to profit and have a lot of fun during the transition of sports:

Strategy #1: Buy MLB Stocks- MLB is possibly one of the most dragged out sports ever, but entertaining at the same time. When NBA and NHL end, people want action, and the only way they are going to get that is by buying MLB SOIs. New fantasy games are out and more are to come. Owning a large % of a SOI with a very low amount of outstanding shares is always fun. You can dominate the fantasy games with this player, and can brag to everyone that you own __% of ________.
Best MLB buys: GRNK- (when he comes out) only 400-600 shares and less than 1 ERA in 9 games this season. In Dancenham’s new game, you can almost gurantee that he will win, go 7+ innings, walk 2 or less batters, and give up less than 3 ER.
ICHI- This guy always seems to get a hit. Very valuable in fantasy games, and at 4k MV, he is very undervalued.
Anyone under 3k- Plain and simple, these guys can’t stay at this level for long and when the market starts to pick up, you will make a substantial % gain.
Bottom line: If you like having action and playing fantasy games with your SOIs, this is the strategy for you!

Strategy #2 (What I’m Doing)- Buy a large % of NFL SOIs with a promising future and legends- Baseball is already going and the next sport up will be NFL. Everyone is expecting big advertising around NFL season, which will bring many more users to the site which means more money in the market. They are going to want legends from their day (Sanders, Montana, Payton) just so they can say that they own their favorite player of all-time. If a 3rd-party site can figure out a way to incorporate NFL legends into fantasy games, these SOIs will boom even more. New users are also going to want fantasy studs. Brady, Peterson, and the Mannings are obvious, but you want low shares outstanding, so you look at Ryan, Forte, and Chris Johnson. You can own a pretty large % of these guys at a relatively low price. When the site grows, so will these players.
Bottom line: If you think that the site will really grow around football season, and want to beat the transitioners, this is the strategy for you (and me)!

Strategy #3- Buy NBA SOIs after everyone has transitioned- Lebron and the Cavs look like they are done in the playoffs, and you have really seen it in his value. Lebron had about an 80k market cap a month ago, NOW 40k. 50% dropoff! People are definitely selling him and transitioning into baseball. When the playoffs end, you will see even more people undercut him. Don’t be surprised if he gets to 30k within the next month or two. At these low values, most basketball SOIs are a buy, but can you wait 6 months until these guys play again??? For most people, no, but for the patient, yes, and they will be the ones who make a lot of money off of it. OS hopes to be almost in full swing by then, which means all types of advertising and new users! Also, there hasn’t even been a fantasy game created for basketball yet, and when there is, these SOIs will be even more valuable. All SOIs will soar and if you can get these cheap basketball SOIs during this crash or within the next month or two, you will be very very happy!
Bottom line: If you are patient enough to load up on basketball SOIs in the middle of June, this is the buying strategy for you!

Have fun with OS, and if you are here to make some $$$ while having fun, one of these strategies will probably accomplish your goals.
