Well the economic situation has some stocks low & one is 0.0001. It looks like it would be good money if it goes up, but it prob. won't. I need to find a place that has info I can really use to judge if I should just leave it alone. Ofcourse $18 dolors would get a lot of share like 18000 or 118,000? Anyway the comon sense part of me says leave it alone, but the part about it maybe doing beter is making me want to buy shares.

I think you also need to think about the commission charge & tax on both buy and sell transaction. good place to start company research is yahoo finance & cnbc.com

The best for normal consumers imo and has all the relevant finance degree level statistics.

Which firm has a share price of 0.0001? Unless it has billions of shares, the firm is probably bankrupt already. No one will give a public offering of a firm which doesnt have a value which runs into the millions.
 
This thread is utterly fail. If public opinion is that there will be growth then in a semi-strong market the current share price would reflect this. Don't play with shares if you need to ask questions like this.

The OP isnt necessarily wanting to make arbitrage profits. May just want to go long on a stock.

edit: What the OP isnt appreciating is that having 18,000 shares worth 0.001c isnt any different from holding 1 share of a stock worth $18 a share ceteris paribus.

If you're only going to be investing $18 this is a very salient point, the company that I'm working for currently will charge a minimum of around £6 per trade so with the exchange rates you're looking at spending almost half your budget just on the trading charge. Which means it would then have to go up massively to be even vaguely worthwhile as you'll get hit with another charge on selling.

As with any gamble, don't risk money you can't afford to lose. If you're betting with such small amounts then it suggests to me that it isn't for you at present unless you're just testing your hunches before committing more fully (and possibly having missed the optimum time to invest).
 
it all depends on what you are doing. Do not intraday trade, you will just lose money. For long term, fundamental analysis is good - look at sec/companies house/research reports (if you can UBS/citi/ML/JPM are quite decent - GS and MS are horrendous but it really depends on the individuals so read around) then do your own work.. bear in mind that it can take professionals a month or so to even get a decent view...

Also, shares for 0.0001? You sure that isn't a bankrupt company? :p

What use is fundamental analysis if he doesn't even understand them? Plus, if you listen to EMH Chartism (the prediction of future share prices based on previous data) doesn't work.
