Specualtion and Investment More Money Comics - Potential of Marvel/DC Comic Books

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  Captain Marvel Issues 1 to 34 So I have stated in other blogs the use of the three data streams to focus on the potential each issue has for an investment opportunity. In Table 1, I present the Bias Score for the Silver Age run of Captain Marvel. Lime Green denote the issues with the strongest potentials and dark green staining note the issues that have good potential. So we see issues 17, 18, 26 and 27 are the issues with the highest potential using this technique. They all have a BScore above the first issue, which is a rarity. Issue 17/18 ties in Carol Danvers, Rick Jones and Capt America.  These issue setup Carol Danvers as Ms. Marvel. (Key). Issue 26 and 27 Have Thanos and Super-Skrull with the Cosmic Cube. Key with the plot set by Jim Starlin. I would watch these issues in the next data streams of the SLN and ADFs ( See Table 2 and 3). Table 1. B...

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  Analysis of the Defenders (Bronze Age) Issues #1 to 19 Table 1 represents the Bias Score analysis of the defenders series. Note the analysis is fairly short in that Issues 1 and 17 are Strongly Bias while Issue 8 is biased somewhat. (Lime green vs dark green staining). The other issues are overbought by the outsiders and can be ignored. Note Issue 2 is on the watch list FYI. Table 1 Bias Score Analysis of the Defenders Issues 1 to 19.  Table 2 is the SLN numbers which separates out the I/O worlds for each issues. Note that Issues 14 and 17 are strongly Biased while the other issues of 6 to 9, 11 to 13, 15, 18, and 19 are somewhat biased. This data number tends to be the less stringent and need to be carefully considered. Notice Issue 17 is noted as strongly biased as it was in the B Score Table. Table 2. SLNs Numbers for the I/O Data for the Defender...

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  Bias Analysis of Iron Man Issues 1 to 56. As I have done in all my post, I will start out with the top level of analysis, the Bias Score. So given the popularity of Iron Man, I expected a lot of opportunities in this run. I have noted by color staining the issues strongly Bias by the insiders vs outsiders (lime green). Somewhat Bias issues have their issue number stained by dark green stain. So we see the strong issues are #1, 44, and 55. Note the B Scores are 370, 139, and 304. I discuss the desire scale of these three in table 5. I see issues 3, 9 13, 15, 28, 30 and 43 are dark green stained and deserve our attention as well. Also, I do note evidence of overbuying issues as seen by the high number of negative scoring issues. The story here is to focus on the lime green issues for full on investments. Table 1.  Iron Man B Score for Issues 1 to 56 S...

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  Bias in the Sub-mariner Issues 1 to 20, 22, 34 35 36 and 43  As is my practice, I always start with the B Score level (see Table 1). A top down look into this run. So far the Sub-mariner has not been picked up as a movie yet. So my big theme is that this is a run you should look into to get ahead of the curve. I have run from 1 to 20 myself. I need to search for issues 34 and 35 as well. Issue 8 is the third highly I-biased issue here (lime green). The other issues of note here are stained dark green. So I have been setting up a Desire Scale as I introduced previously. I have and will post down the road a complete list of 1356 issues of all the runs covered or soon to be. So for right now; Issues 35 (86.4 percentile ranking) and 34 (86.1 percentile ranking) are in the top 15% of desired comics in my data set. Issue 8 is very close with the hard to find "S...

" Most companies use a 12% hurdle rate, which is based on the fact that the  S&P 500  typically yields returns somewhere between 8% and 11% (annualized). Companies operating in industries with more volatile markets might use a slightly higher rate in order to offset risk and attract investors. The hurdle rate is frequently used as synonym of cutoff rate,  benchmark  and  cost of capital . Different organizations might have slightly different interpretations, so when multiple organizations (e.g., a  startup company  and a  venture capital firm ) are discussing the suitability of investing in a project"  Quote from -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_acceptable_rate_of_return (MARR). This is one of my source materials for answering the question what is the minimum ROR you try to achieve in your comic book investments? So is 12% the minimum? If you look at it per year then do you calculate your profit in a...

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  Analysis of Early Captain America Issues 100 to 118. This is the beginning Blog Arc for the next group of Marvel Titles to look at. I have eased over in the bronze era as well. Captain America issues 100 to 118, Sub-mariner 1 to 20, 22, 34 to 36 and 43. Defenders 1 to 19, Iron Man 1 to 56, So given the interest in the recent movies, I suspected these issues would be strong buys.   As discussed before the Bias Scores gives us a first top down view into these issues. Looking at table 1, green denoted issues are those issues biased supported by the insider investors and are recommended as buy candidates. The only light green issue #117 is the first appearance if the Falcon.   Note its B Score is 519 that puts it in the top 85 silver age issues for desirability. That is a strong strong number. See the data in the Desire Scale Blog Post. I...
