You don't invest based on the stock price. That's a guarantee of losing your money. You invest base don the quality of the company - some stocks priced at $200 a share are bargains, while others priced at $5 are completely worthless. After all, there's a reason the stock is priced so low (no one wants it.)
The dollar amount you have is fixed, right? Whether you buy 100 shares of a $5 stock or 5 shares of a $100 stock you're still investing $500. Instead of gambling, you're much better off buying a good, solid company that pays a healthy dividend and reinvest those dividends back into the company (which means every quarter instead of getting a check the money is used to buy more shares resulting in an ever greater number of shares and ever higher dividend payments.

Try going to: http://www2.barchart.com/sectors.asp?sec=top~100~stocks.sec&level=2&title=Top+100+Stocks
These are top ranked " technically" and there are quite a few in there below 5 or maybe 7 bucks.
BUT...once you get the names... look into them a little, profiles, quotes, opinions.....on that site and finance/yahoo...and moneycentral/msn ( try their " stockscouter")
Do some comparisons...you may start out looking at one and find something better......and don't be afraid to buy fewer $ 15.00 shares...than a bunch of $ 3.00 ones....( you're working with an amount of money...NOT a number of shares...percent of return...the only thing you're after.
