Title: A question about how stock prices work.
Post by: golden227 on January 19, 2014, 12:52:32 AM
If I have $10 invested in a low price stock, and $10 invested in a high price stock, and they both go up the same percentage, will the profit be the same, or will the higher priced stock give out the higher return?

It would be the same... simple math.

$10 @ $100 stock = $10 = .1 shares

$10 @ $10 stock = $10 = 1 share

up 10% on both

$110 x .1 = $11

versus

$11 x 1 = $11

LOL

Okay thank you I just didn't want to invest if i'd only get a fraction of the income.
