Pretty much you've been valid in your arguments with FCEL, but you're off on your example given.

% profits (or losses) are based on amount of investment (amount of cash out)

You have to compare the same amount of investment in $ not amount of shares.

100 shares of a $20 stock is $2000

The same $2000 gets 2000 shares of $1 stock.

A 25% change in the same money invested is more than %10 no matter how many shares you get for that $2000. The risks are likely much greater with the $1 vs $20 stock, but it is still calculated on amount invested in $.

Of course amount of $ change when you invest more or less money. Example: you won't get the same $ return if you put $200 in a savings vs $2000 in the same act, but it will be the same % return.

Now you can talk about the volatility, fundamentals, risks, value vs growth vs speculative, etc between different price ranges of different stocks, but basic numbers and calculations for returns or losses don't change.
