The price per share of a stock is actually meaningless... What's really important is the PE of the company, which relates how much you pay for a share of stock to the revenue stream the company generates. For example I own a Berkshire Hathaway B share that's worth roughly $3100 per share. While this is an expensive share of stock, the company generates roughly $225 in earnings for each B Share. I pay a lot, but I get a lot too, more so than if I invest in (say) Sun Microsystems, which trades at only $4.45 but lost money last year. I'll admit it is psychologically pleasing to be able to go out and purchase a hundred or a thousand shares of stock instead of ten or twenty a thousand dollar investment in a company is a thousand dollar investment in a company, no matter how many shares you've actually managed to purchase. So in that sense there's no reason not to buy stock that trades at less than $10...
However there's one BIG caveat to what I've written above...
Many mutual funds and professional money managers are forbidden to invest in stocks that trade at less than $5/share. For that reason most companies try to keep their shares well north of $5 lest a drop in PPS should force institutional money to flee the stock. For that reason companies that do trade at less than $10/share are likely to have suffered some mishap or other. This doesn't mean that they aren't good investments, but tread carefully. |

I think cheap stock is good too. Look at CRIS, VXGN.pk, INSM, etc.

I think I would actually prefer to buy stocks at under ten bucks, but I think they are higher risk.
The reason they are relatively cheap compared to other stocks are because the companies are either young and have not proven themselves or the companies may be in some type of financial trouble.
More expensive stocks, also known as Blue Chips stocks, are more established companies that almost always post profits which makes the stocks go up.
The cheaper the stock, the higher the risk is the general rule. |

I got a 'hot' stock tip a while ago. It said the stock was trading at 0.018 and would hit 0.06 (target price). Should I load up on this baby (the commissions would be more than the stock value --- hmmm maybe I should buy shares in the brokerage firm) |

Adam J has the best answer, but let add this.
There have been a larger number of IPOs this year. What is a typical price for a stock on its first day on a public market? Answer: Around $15 to $25.
Most stocks that are below $10 had to decline quite a bit to get there. But then again, there are plenty of good turn-around stories out there if you can find them. |

No, I have NO problem buying stocks under $10. Now 10 yrs ago or so, before online brokers it didn't make sense to buy low priced stocks because folks like morgan standly were charging $1.00 share. But with online brokers you can buy them for $10 or so no matter how many shares you buy. |

I think people think that companies with stocks priced under ten dollars are bad companies. There are a lot of good companies under ten dollars you just have to do the research.
I currently own 6 stocks priced under ten dollars. Ok so one of them is down 8 points, but I still like it. Please keep in mind this is a small portion of my portfolio. These are all specutlive stocks andd I only own them for pure profit. These are trades not investment. |
