Re:Ask HN: What is the actual cost basis of the stock market? by TZubiri on Tuesday March 11, 2025 @01:14AM (#43329346)
I don't think that's a very relevant calculation. Or at least you haven't articulated why.

It's just a measure of liquidity. A stock can trade 1$ or 0$ per day and still have a market cap of 300B ( see private eq.)

(Maybe you are onto something, if stock iliquid, they got stocks at 0. If stock very liquid they got stocks at actual price.)
