RE: Bumble and 2Udad want this price low> not on the side trying to get it for a penny cheaper.

I'm not a basher, GAP only represents a tiny fraction of my portfolio, but I find it amusing when people argue that "it's only a penny" when a penny at this level represents close to 9% of the stock price. Also, I've read others state, "the downside is only 12 cents!". Um, this is 100% of your investment lost...

When I hear people argue over the value of the stock price in pennies over the percentage increase/loss, it really smells of small-time investors who don't appreciate the magnitude of gains and losses amplified by penny stocks. If you're only holding 20,000 shares of GAP, a penny will see you lose $200 - BFD... But if you're looking to spend a bit more, say $25K on GAP, do you want 217,000 shares at .115 or 263,000 shares at .095? That 46K share difference works out to $46,000 for every $1 of movement in GAP moving forward.

Given the timefreames and risks involved, I'm on a very slow and limited accumulate because I know this stock will be much cheaper before it becomes much expensive (if it ever does).
