Then there are those that say things like "I can't afford anything over $1 or $2." I know. That's one of the mantras of the penny stock "investors". The junk they buy is "affordable". I've found it impossible to explain to them that the price of the stock in question doesn't matter. Well, as long is it isn't Berkshire Hathaway, at least. The truth, I'm afraid, is that they're all looking for that ten-thousand bagger. And when it comes, they want to be sure to have at LEAST ten thousand shares.
