In investopedia it says:
Market value: "The current quoted price at which investors buy or sell a share of common stock or a bond at a given time. Also known as "market price"."
But if a stock is at $10 for example, and I combine with a trader to sell me a stock at $5, is the market price going to $5? Obviously not, so the market price can't be the price of the last transaction. Is it a weighted average (taking volume into account) or something?
