While I know a stock’s price doesn’t reflect its true value, high-priced stocks like Netflix can still feel intimidating. It’s psychological—seeing a $1,000 stock triggers thoughts like “What if it drops?” even though percentage moves are what matter. Ultimately, we’re buying future market cap growth, not just the number of shares.

If I had $5,000 to split among SOXL, Nvidia, and Netflix, I’d lean most into SOXL $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ due to my DCA strategy and belief in semiconductors. Nvidia would come next—strong fundamentals and long-term upside. Netflix, while consistent, would get a smaller slice—not because of price, but because I see more near-term potential elsewhere.

In the end, I focus on business fundamentals over share price. A $1,000 stock isn’t expensive if it delivers performance and future growth. The real challenge is shifting our mindset beyond surface-level numbers.

$1,000 Too Expensive? How Much Does Price Affect Your Decision?
From an investment logic perspective, a single $1,000 stock and ten $100 stocks yield the same return percentage if you invest the same amount of money. But in practice, high-priced stocks do have a psychological impact on everyday investors. So, how much do high-priced stocks influence your investing decisions? A high stock price doesn’t mean the stock is expensive. It’s easy to say — but do you truly believe it? SOXL is $10, Nvidia is $100, Netflix is $1,000. If you had $5,000 — how would you allocate it?

    The price of SOXL is based on icesemi index. And when I Google who is the largest holder of SOXL I come up with Citadel and that's probably because they're a market maker for SOXL. These relationships are hard to entangle with limited search resources.
