will a small investment in a company net a worthwhile gain?
user
if the shares rise in value 50% over the next few years, you will have the same return that i would see if i bought 100 or 1000 shares.  the only issue with a small purchase is that even a $5 commission is a high percent. but the rest of the math is the same.
