Not too many people would buy $1000/$160 shares of a stock. But the question of Risk is for Ballard Power $1000/$10 = 100 shares $1000/$160 = 6.25 shares. At $10 not alot of expectations were built into the market cap. But at $160 alot of expectations are built into the market cap. If you read any investment books, the point at which you would not buy anymore shares in a company based on its price is a point where you should consider selling to regain your initial investment. One earth 1kg of iron weighs the same as 1 kg of feathers. But if you drop both from an airplane the 1kg of iron will fall alot faster than the 1kg of feathers. cl >>>Invest $1.000 into a stock at $10, same amount into a stock at $160. Both base at $0. What's the difference? Risk is not in share price, but in your own capital: Falling from $1000 to $0. (Remarks aimed at the original poster, not you, Meghan.) What does weigh more: one kilogram of iron or one kilogram of feathers? :-)<<<
