That really not true at all.
If you have 10 shares of Apple stock at $100 a share ($1000 total)
or
If you have 100 shares of Starbucks at $10 a share ($1000 total)
If either stock goes up 5%, 10%, 20%, etc you make the same amount of money in both situations ($50, $100, $200)
The price of a stock should not factor in your decision to buy it. It is merely a numerical representation for the amount one share contributes to the value of a particular company. (Market Cap/Shares Outstanding = PPS)
Starbucks, for example, is an 8.2 billion dollar company right now whether it has 730 million shares of outstanding stock or 730,000. In the latter scenario, the company would still be worth 8.2 billion dollars, but the price per share of stock would be $11,232 with the same likelihood of going up 5% as when the stock is worth $11 pps because all the fundamental financials have not changed.

for all you saying not to buy stocks right now, you are missing out on some fire-sell prices. Look at B of A, trading damn near at 20 bucks. They historically traded at 55 bucks before the recession hit. After the smoke clears, they are going to be one of the biggest financial institutions in the United States. And right now, you can buy shares at 20 bucks. Of course you shouldn't be looking to get short, but if you hold on to them for 2 years or so, you will see GREAT returns when everyone starts yelling to buy B of A.
Contrary to what most of you are talking about, it is a great time to get into stocks. Just do your homework.

Perfect time to buy stocks. It may take 13 months or more for the market to get back to where it was, but sitting on stocks for that long is nothing. I've been sitting on Apple stocks for a minute. I saw them reach almost $200, then saw them drop below $100...no biggie. Buy some Apple stocks if you want and wait for that shit to split, 'cause it will happen eventually.
Mutual funds, check out this calculator, your grand can become, almost $20,000 if you left it alone for 30 years and averaged just a 10% gain a year....
