That's my understanding of the market as well.
For example GT Butthurt prices were at near all-time lows in the week leading up to UGA 2009. Then came what is referred to as "The Drop" in the GT Butthurt investment circles, and butthurt soared in value. So if you were holding butthurt at the time of the 2009 UGA game you made out like a bandit.
Prices have been steadily increasing since then and are at near all-time highs currently. (All-time high being post ACCCG 2006, the subsequent season was referred to as the numbness). Butthurt is also interesting in that expected terrible-ness does nothing to help butthurt, it's the combination of high expectation vs disappointing result that truly drives prices up or down. 2008 was a good year to sell pre-season, but it wasn't the best.
I think 2014 will be the best butthurt selling season as butthurt will drop dramatically throughout the course of what I expect to be a very surprising and lucky season.
