But here's an example of how you can do well with $50…
Let's assume you find a sub penny stock priced @ $0.0002, and you buy $50 worth of shares. $50 @ $0.0002 = 250,000 shares.
Now let's assume value goes up to $0.50. Those 250,000 shares are now worth $125,000.
This is not typically the norm, and penny stocks are generally very volatile and risky, but it's possible.
