Does it seem like stocks are getting more expensive? I'm not talking about valuation metrics or anything like that. These days, three- and four-figure share prices seem to be more prevalent than ever. As I write this, to buy one share each of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), and Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), you would need to spend well in excess of $6,000.
To be fair, share prices aren't terribly important in investing. A stock that trades for $1,000 per share can be significantly "cheaper" than one trading for $10. That said, a lower share price can make a stock more accessible, especially to newer investors and those who prefer to contribute a relatively small amount of money to their brokerage account at a time.
With that in mind, here are 10 excellent stocks to consider, all of which have share prices below $50 as of August 2020.
