I've been practicing on the simulator and noticing that stocks like GUINEAINS cost just a few Naira, while others are way higher. Does buying a cheaper stock mean I can buy more units and make better gains, or am I missing something fundamental about how market value works here? I really want to understand this dynamic before I even think about moving past the demo phase.
Does a lower share price mean a stock is better for beginners on the simulator?

Omo, you're definitely missing the core mechanic if you think a lower price automatically equals better gains. A ten percent jump on a five Naira stock like Guinea Insurance gives you the exact same proportional growth as a ten percent jump on a five hundred Naira stock—market value and percentage movement are what actually count. Use the simulator to study how volume and liquidity behave on these low-priced equities, because hoarding millions of units doesn't help if there are no buyers on the other side when you want to exit.
