Investment Potential and Analysis of Iron Fist Issues 1-15

Investment Potential and Analysis of Iron Fist Issues 1-15

The first Table presents the Bias Score for all the issues. Bias scores show which issues are being bought by the Insiders (Pros) vs. the Outsiders (Fans Less Serious). The concept of my approach is to focus on the issues being bought BULLISHLY by the investors.

We developed an analysis of data to quantify this Bias (B Score). We mark the issues with the highest Bias with Lime Green followed by a Dark Green staining for issues with a lesser but definite Bias. 

Table 2 data deals with another data stream on comic-book issues. This run’s issues are looked at 3 grades 9.4, 8 and 6. The changes in bias between the different grades are calculated and the SLN numbers were born. The SLN numbers look into each “world” of the I vs. O bias data.  This data has shown historically to be the most liberal and establishes the investment potential across the grades of 9.4, 8 and 6. Very quickly, the green stained are positive issues and red stained issues are a negative and invite a non-focus in only investments

We then compare those SLN numbers and generate a difference number we call the DF. Finally add the I and O SLN numbers together (total) and determine the %DF number for each issue. Green staining is good (Higher Bias) and Grey and Red are issues that are not good for an investment focus. This data stream is more liberal in the rigor and you get the best case for an issue,

The deepest level of analysis we developed is the ADF number (average difference between the I/O worlds) of each issue at each grade. I denote a high I Bias with the orange $.

Lime green stained issues are rated I Biased in all grades or at least 9.4 and 8. Dark green stained issues are only biased at the 9.4 grade while the other grades are overbought relative to the professional investor’s desires.

Table 3 is the stricter data stream and highlights both the issue and grade. We calculate the average difference (ADF) in Issue Bias between the Insider and Outsiders groups.  Lime Green are issues that are I Biased at least 9.4 and 8 grades (High Bias). (Orange $). The dark green issues are support with a Bias in 9.4 grade only. The other issues are to be avoided.

Table 4 is the Score Card information for each issue at the 3 data streams. This allows a top down view across the data streams. We denote the issues supported in all three data streams with a Lime Green staining. Dark Green has only 2 data streams support and yellow issues are supported in one data stream only. 

Table 5 is the last bit of data, the Scaled Desire Ranking. I have grouped 1356 issues of comics that I have covered and developed scaled desire rankings. The percentile that an issue occupies gets wonderful insight into true value between titles. So we position our title and its key issues in context. A score of 99 means that comic issue is desired at the highest level while 1 percentile is the lowest desired issue.

In the B Scores data we see that issues 3, 5 , 8 and 11 are our focus but not at the highest levels as the B Scores are only from 30 to 21. About normal but when the higher B Scores are in the 1000s, these B Scores are not very significant. Note Issue 1 has a negative B Score and may be overbought. Lets see what the other data streams say.

Using these data stream we get to see if these issue have a potential for investments. Note that Issue 11 is denoted as the highest potential while Issues 3 to 6, 8, and 12 have some potential. 

Table 2. SLN, DF and DF% of Iron Fist Issues 1-15

Using our most detailed data stream, the ADF vs the grade, we see that once we strip the grade 6 data, Issue 1 is a buy at 9.4 and 8. Issue 3 is a buy at 9.4 grade only and Issue 11 is a significant issue and suggest focus at grades of 9.4 and 8. Finally Issue 14 is the most significant issue with a buy focus at all grades and should be on you get it list. 

Table 3. ADF of Iron Fist Issues 1-15

Using the score card data we note Issue 3 and 11 are the highest across the 3 different data streams!. We also Issues 5, 8 as a focus. Remember that the ADF data really focused us on 1, 11 and 14 as well. This is unusual run as the different views of these issues. I would use the ADF data as my final guide. 

Table 4. Score Card of Iron Fist Issues 1-15

As for Desire Rankings Issues 11, 3 , 8 and 5 seem to be highly desired while 1 and 14 seem to be not as desired. Confusing. I got to call the ADF as the guide even with this data. I have seen a run this confusing. Watch this run carefully!
