Given two companies, total assets of $100 million each.

  • Company 'A' owns \$50M of company 'B'.

  • Company 'B' owns \$50M of company 'A'.

If you look at the value of both companies do you get \$200M or \$100M in value?

Is there any effect of this in the stock market where there is lots of circular ownership?
