I've watched APPS go up a lot as well.
I've watched NE go down for years as well.

I've watched AUPH sit at $6 for years.

I'm adding SONO.

Why the "under 10 dollars" stipulation?

Thanks for the feedback, I think SONO could be a good one.

I don't discriminate on ones outside that bubble, but I am new into stocks and want to find some on the lower side with upside potential, so I can accumulate more shares.

Depending which direction you believe it will go, GE is under $10 and has potential to double or triple. It also has the possibility of going to near $0.

I have never been able to understand this line of reasoning.

but you have plenty of 20,30,100 dollar stock with as much, and more upside potential than under $10 stocks.

If you buy 100 shares of a $5 stock, and 5 shares of a $100 stock, the $5 stock doesn't necessarily have higher upside potential because it's cheaper.

Just something to think about

Better to look at market cap.
1)You can have a $35 stock with a 240 billion dollar market cap.
2)You can have a $150 sock with an 8 billion dollar market cap.

That $150 stock will probably make it to $300 quicker than the $35 makes it to $70.

The stock per share price is simply determined by the number of outstanding shares that fit into the overall value of the company. It's arbitrary.

If my company is worth $100 and I have 10 shares than the value is $10/share.
If I arbitrarily issue 20 shares than the value is $5/share.

The number of shares issued and price per share does not matter. The only thing that matters is that my company grow from $100 market cap to $200 and beyond.

Ultimately, is their room and plans for growth in the company? Will it attract investors? That's all that matters.
Of course this is a generalization. There are many variables at play.

Number of shares has 0 to do with return %

Yep. Like when Apple split by seven. That did arguably attract "investors" though...

It keeps it trading, but people think that 7/1 split was going to see them end up with 7 shares back at $700 soon

Precisely. It's then 500 billion dollar market cap would be 3.5 trillion today if that had happened.

Instead it is now 900 billion so the value of the stock is just shy of double since the 2014 split.

(Explaining for OP)

Same here. The week or so I stopped watching about a month ago, it was at $1.02.

I'm still think $2 right now is worth it.

You should read a few books on equities and how to look/value them, because your line of thinking, while not uncommon is misguided.

The stock market isn't an "even" playing field from a $/share perspective. Companies can issue as few or many shares as they want which is really what drives the $/share value. It all depends on how big the pie is, but also how many slices they split it into. You need to look at per share metrics such as P/E ratio or EPS, along with industry and company maturity to understand if it has "upside" or not.

The Intelligent Investor

The book above by Benjamin Graham is an all time classic book about value investing but you will also learn alot of equities in general. You can debate its use in modern investing but its still a great read for a novice.
