>>>>>Just a thought... a lot of the helter-skelter could have been avoided if the stock were valued by their average price, at least when the value of a company (or a bank, specially a bank) was calculated.

The total investment is still $100,000 - the company hasn't seen any extra dime, right? - but now the total worth is somehow $200,000. I'd propose this be worth $102,000, because that's how much real money was in it. And I'd ask that a special firing squad be designed for anyone who uses the imaginary $98,000 as the so-called "leverage" to emit $1,860,000 in loans. Give me such a lever, and I'll find someone willing to move their kidneys with it.

Nope. It came from misconception. 'Value' is not an economic category. In other words, your imagination created something that you bravely disproved in your next sentence.
