When determining a company's intrinsic value analysts use 3 scenarios --- Base, Bull and Bear market values. The $2,000 lot purchases were with companies selling at a discount to intrinsic value using a bear or worst case scenario. The $1,000 lot purchases were with companies selling at a discount to the base rate, but a single digit premium to the bear or worst case scenario.
