Actually you should more or less ignore a stocks price per share.
A stock is a partial ownership stake in a company and its value is measured by how much money the company will make for investors per share. A stock that trades for 100,000 a share may be cheaper that a stock that trades for 1/share if the investor winds up getting more money for each dollar invested.
In general the simplest thing to do if you're new to investing is to buy mutual or exchange traded funds. These allow you to own a small amount of a large number of stocks, which is safer and also easier.

I own some TFSM. Actually paid a lot more for it, but I think the company has excellent prospects, and look for a nice gain when the market turns back up. You can visit my blog on investing at:
