If Ebay ($92 a share) and Oracle ($11 a share) each wentup $1 today, Oracle would have hada big day and Ebay only a fair day. It's easier for EBAY to move $1. I'm not sure I'm explaining this well but basically things move in percentages and higher prices stocks (and funds) move more money-wise than lower priced ones.Price is important if you are looking at it from the perspective of "cheaper fund = more shares = greater return".
If everything goes up 5 cents per share, you make the biggest gain if you hold the cheapest fund (of course, it's rather unusual for all the funds to behave in the same fashion, even if you are just comparing G&F or C, S, & I).
So,if the C fund, for example, was $11 and the S fund was $15, it doesn't mean the C fundis a better value.
