Technically, and maybe it's really semantics here, "The market cap is pretty much the total value of the company" is not really a good description if you want to use the word 'value' in other contexts. You went on to explain that market capitalization is the product of the current price and the shares outstanding, which is true, but to characterize it as the value of the company may lead to some confusion. Otherwise, how can a company be under, fairly or over valued?

Overall, I think you did a solid job. It's difficult to introduce such a broad topic to a neophyte.

I love the idea behind the article as well but I must confess that I gave up on it in the middle as well
