The most expensive sentence in investing: "it's only $3, it's so cheap" 💀 Share price means literally nothing by itself. The real price tag is market cap — share price times shares outstanding. That's what you're actually paying for the whole company. Math time: Stock A at $500 with 1 million shares = a $500M company. Stock B at $2 with 1 billion shares = a $2B company. The "$2 stock" is FOUR TIMES more expensive. Your brain just likes small numbers. This is how penny-stock dreams die. "It just needs to get to $10!" Sure — and for that, your $2B company has to become a $20B company. The math doesn't care about your dreams. Same scam in reverse: stock splits. Your $180 stock splits 10-for-1 and now it's $18. You are not richer. It's the same pizza cut into more slices — but suddenly everyone thinks it's "affordable" and piles in. Hot take: Wall Street loves that retail shops by share price instead of market cap. Keeps the casino full. Stop reading the sticker price. Read the market cap 👀
