The Suns Amare Stoudemire's season Could Be Over

What will happen with Amare Stoudemire's stock (AMRE). It has now been confirmed that he did have to have eye surgery to attach a partially detached retna. He will more than likely miss the rest of the season basically ending the Suns run for the playoffs.

So what then happens to the potential run on his stock as the year progresses. AMRE owners we want to hear from you here at the Buzz.

Will you hold for next year? Sell? Not sure what to do? Wait and watch the market? Let us know your thoughts!

Well there they are. That is the buzz from the OS users, hope this gives you guys more of a feel for what is going on in the Land of Oneseason.

Larry Bird Is On Point

Well, much has happened lately. On my end a hard drive crash. On Oneseason's end some interesting events. More interesting than hard drives taking a dump!

We had last week DRNT's (Kevin Durant) stock jump from around $7 to $17.94. It then settled around $15.83 and has now slowly dropped to $13.34 per share. A trend I don't think will continue. I believe he may be one of the next stocks to split outside of the up and coming IPO Larry Bird. We also saw 2 days ago DNCN's (Tim Duncan) IPO announced with him open on the market yesterday. Duncan peeked at about $8.40 and the buyers have dictated the stock ever since, with sellers selling him today at around $7 a share at one point. Amazing! He is a very good buy with under 1500 SOI's on the market at that price. His stock should be at the $10-12 range.

Next on Point in the IPO world is Larry Bird. Bird being a legend should do well in this market, I would expect a split out of Bird on his first day of trading, but that will depend on the share holders and their willingness to sell cheap or hold for a nice gain. I believe BIRD will rise fast, but how high? That is the ultimate question that I don't think any of us have the answer for.

Good Luck on the Bird IPO,

OneSeason Pulse - Get Up To The Minute Updates On Market Conditions

Here at the Buzz, we wanted share with our readers a great OneSeason 3rd party website that we had found not too long ago called OneSeasonPulse. We personally love this website here at the buzz. Here are the benefits of OneSeason Pulse if you have not already checked this out!

OneSeason Pulse shows you the pulse of the market with the use of a directional arrow and a description of the market at that time. You can view the directional arrow and description by four different categories. 5 minutes, last hour, past 6 hours or by that day.

Along the right of the Market Pulse information, you will see latest updates. These updates include the current trades that have just happened. These are taken right off the OneSeason site and are very close to real time, about as real time as it gets. You can also click on the player of your choice and see the last 30 transactions for that player.

Another wonderful feature of this site is the best buys and sells. OneSeason Pulse posts the best SOI's to currently sell according to pricing margine and the best SOI's to buy according to pricing margine.

The site also shows the Market Cap and Total Volume traded for the day, along with OneSeason news updates and detailed information about OneSeason Pulse and how it functions.

So, if you have never heard of OneSeason Pulse or have yet to take the time to check it out. I recommend you do. It is always open on my computer along with OneSeason and I believe that once you understand its functionality, you will want to use it daily too.

Best of Trading,

Crank Up The Volume!!! Please

Just 3 weeks ago we were hitting 8,000-10,000 in volume. Now everyone is sitting here wondering what is going on. These days we seem to be struggling to even hit 2,000 in volume. Today at 5:15p.m., Est. The most influential stock on the market KING has on 14 trades on the day. And KOBE has 39 on the day. Goodness, PJLS has 59 trades, that is more than KING and KOBE combined.

So, what we would like to know at the Buzz...is...what is everyone waiting for? Why are you starring at the screen all day seeing ZZZZZZ's. We are setting up a poll to see why we are not even hitting 2,000 in volume anymore.

I know some have all there money tied up while others are just trying to cherry pick IPO's without even being involved in the market. So what is your story, let us know. Leave a comment if you like and be sure to take the poll on this one! And someone for the love of God, crank up the volume!

Happy Waiting,

Sticking to my guns-5 reasons why OneSeason will be a success

Here is a great article over on OST (OneSeason Trader). Written by Dean Nicosia (aka - PatriotsNY)

I really believe he has hit the nail on the head with 5 valid reasons OneSeason will be around for the long haul!!! Check it out..

Steroid use will tarnish AROD'S Legacy.. Will it tarnish AROD'S stock in the OneSeason Market..

Well, those of us who have been around long enough here at Oneseason know that performance has had little to do with a particular players stock going up or down. Last week we saw the release of Big Ben (BBEN) and his stock really did nothing but hang around the $6-$7 mark. After throwing the game winning touchdown pass to the corner of the End Zone between 3 defenders, his stock hardly even moved.

So what then are we to make of the Alex Rodriguez (AROD) news? Will performance matter? I actually think it will. "Performance" inhancing drugs will probably cause his stock to go up slightly here in the OneSeason Market. I have seen it before here, news comes out or a player has a monster game and the stock goes down. Someone has a terrrible game and there stock rises.

Until 3rd party games come out for Oneseason and actually make these players have some sort of vested interest in gaming, I really don't see this trend ending.. My perdiction, "Performance" will matter and AROD will have a postive day here at Oneseason, even though he is not having a positive day in the media!

Update: A-ROD closes +3.51% @ $5.29

The Great Debate....Oneseason 3rd Party IPO Alerts!!!

What better to start off the OneSeason Buzz blog than with a little controversy. There were several events that occurred throughout the last week in regards to 3rd party texts and software IPO alert systems. There are several of them now. First we have Bob and Ryan Rafforty's tool, Player Monitor (also known as Bob's Tool), who announced last week that his service would no longer be free and the he would start charging $10 per IPO for his PC alert tool to keep it more exclusive to around 20 people, giving all proceeds to charity. We also had Oneseason Alerts come out and say last week that they also would (exclusively for 20 people) start charging the same $10 for his text and PC alert tool.

Next was OneSeason Trader and they launched a partnership with Oneseason Text which charges for "Text Me Credits" that you can use on upcoming IPO's, in which they only take up to 30 paid requests per IPO. This was excitedly announced on Oneseason Trader Radio last night. So between the 3 services a potential total of 70 paying alert service customers.

This whole week, these announcements raised many questions for the OS users. Will I ever get an IPO again? Should I sign up? Is this legal? What happens if I am on the waiting list for years? What about the new guy who signs up in June, how long will he have to wait on a list? Can I be successful on these paid lists? Should I sign up or shouldn't I? Who is trying to get my money?

These are all valid questions that run through traders minds. And there has been much heated discussion in several of the OS chats. Heck, I even contemplated several of them while signing up for one of the alert systems last week.

While I do not have all the answers to the above questions. I do know that alert tools are legal and do not violet any OS policy. And I ended up landing the last 2 IPO's, BBEN and DIRK, using one of these services. In the midst of my success, I was really beginning to wonder if the new guy would be left behind and never ever have a shot at an IPO. Yes you can F5 tornado all day long, if you don't have a job. But other than that you will lose to the users taking advantage of the paid services hands down.

Then, those of us who were listening to OST radio last night with Knup and JC, heard a few Bombshells go off. They were interviewing the CEO of Oneseason ,Mike Sroka, and Knup mentioned the hot topic of IPO alerts. Mike responded that he "Did not know that IPO's would be such a hot topic" and that OS has decided to speed up the API development feed for IPO's within the next week, so that tools can be built around it in a safe and secure way. This was a huge announcement, because it levels the playing field for everyone who knows how to develop 3rd party apps.

The next bombshell was the improvement of IPO distribution and that timestamp priority is not the optimal way of issuing IPO'S to users. Mike said "They have some good ideas internally" to make it better without breaking any of the constraints that would then compromise OS. "Revisions to the IPO process are coming in the near term".

The last bombshell was when Bob Rafforty called in and announced that his tool, Player Monitor, is going back to a free service after the next IPO release. Which shocked everyone, since Bob was the first one to announce he was charging last week.

So what does all this mean.. Who the heck knows? Paid alerts, are they here to stay? The new IPO, API feed, levels the playing field for developers. And what do the revisions to the IPO process mean for the future of paid alerts if timestamps are not as critical to getting an IPO as they are now? And the big one, Bob's tool slated to become free again to hundreds of users. I'm not sure you will see 70 users paying when they can get the same IPO, API feed via Bob's tool in the next week.... But, then again... This is the world of OS and anything is possible!

Last week a new era began in OS, has it already ended. Let us know what you think. Leave us a comment and be sure to vote on our pole, "Do you like the idea of paying for IPO text and software alerts?".
