How much a single share costs really isn't interesting or important.

I don't think you understand the point I was trying to make. The point wasn't that share price is completely meaningless, the point was that it's meaningless without more information.

A share of AAPL now costs $139, a share of GOOG costs $1860. How would you compare the two companies based on that? How does the price of a single share relate to whether or not the company has positive or negative earnings?
