Meet Randy Newsom

Speaking of putting a contract out on yourself, meet Randy Newsom. He's an MLB prospect with an IPO.

He's selling 4% of all of his future major league earnings for $50k. If you're really really poor and don't have $50k lying around, you can dig $20 out from under your couch cushions to buy a single share.

You can read more about the story to find out this isn't all that uncommon outside of sports. And really, it's not that far off from gambling on the future success of professional athletes' success.

And before you all jump at the chance to invest, I recommend you do a little research. Here's a video to get you started!



It does have me thinking, with business savvy like this, what's he doing trying to be a baseball player for a living?

It's also got me thinking, what in ultimate is worth investing in?

Current buy, sell, hold list in ultimate:
