So here's a weird thing about the early stock market: It was common for a long time to buy stock in a company by paying only a fraction of the share price, and to pay the rest in installments over time. When did we end this, and why?

Basically the whole thing was a Ponzi scheme (and Ponzi himself wouldn't come along for another 200 years). Fortunately today we have accounting standards that don't let you play this particular trick. Again, fascinating to see all the mistakes we had to make along the way

What is above par value? If you sold stock today above market rates you would definitely count that as capital appreciation (A form of profit)

No, this is not about an investor selling to another investor on the secondary market and making capital gains. It's about a company issuing shares. They had a nominal value, “par”, which represented the equity I think. Still a little fuzzy on all this

I suppose goodwill today still is a bit similar. "Because we payed this much for this acquisition, there has to be some asset that we paid for."
