Definitely higher-priced stocks are more profitable. In fact, one of my personal trading rules: I will not do any research about or trade any stock with a price less than $26.61 U.S.D. I discovered - THE HARDEST way - throwing money at an inexpensive ["cheap"] stock is nothing but a waste of my valuable time and money and an exercise in futility and frustration. I prefer to invest my time and the money in the account. I'll give you another fact: One of the investors in our trading group has been trading for many years. One day we were having a conversation about the subject you raised in your Q. "Eric" (not his real name) said to me, "Ron I only made money on one penny stock. That was a big fat $135, which I had to wait a LONG time for the stock to get to the price I thought it was going to get to in a few weeks or months." Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it! VTY, Ron Berue Yes, that is my real last name! Sources: My wonderful family! My wonderful coaches and mentors!

Well I will have to disagree with the other answer. If you get help from a person who knows what they are doing with penny stocks, then you should be able to make money.
