re: Any upcoming IPO's to look at say at 10-20 dollars a share

it goes up 10 dollars
-------------------------

100shares @ 20 = 2000 now 100shares @30= 3000

20 shares @ 100 = 2000 now 20shares @ 110 = 2200

This is where your mind isn't tuned to investments quite yet. You wouldn't look at profits as a $/share basis. You look at profits as a return.

A stock that trades at a higher price moves more relative to a stock with a lower price. The stock price really shouldn't matter.

Stock 1
100 shares at $20 = 2k investment

stock goes up 10% (stock now at $22) and you make 200 bucks.

Stock 2
20 shares at $100 = 2k investment

stock goes up 10% (stock now at $110) and you make 200 bucks.
