I guess if say I chucked £50 into some Replicel shares and the company makes it big time with this treatment my money could increase big time.
Say the company became a billion dollar business how much would my £50 go up by?
Yes, but the opposite could happen as well - if the company doesn't come up with anything, then the share price would fall and You'd loose good amount or nearly all of Your money.
Its hard to hardest thing to predict that. What would matter to You is the share price.. Share price now is 2.60$ - so now You would be able to buy about 29 shares for 50 british pounds. If company makes it big time, the price would rise - how much ? No one can tell You if or how much.. It could rise 10, 100 times and be worth 26$ or 260$, but it could fall 10 or 100 times and be worth 26 cents or 2.6 cents..
In theory You could make hundreds, thousands.. or loose nearly everything.
PS. For the share price to jump/fall so high or low, in extreme terms, something outstanding needs to happen.

I like a little gamble and this sounds like a good one as a bald cure will make absolute billions.
I may look into it.

No doubt that it will. Which company shall deliver - that is the gamble. Not to mention that it also wouldn't be impossible that we might not even see it in our lifetime. Hair industry is doing just fine turning over billions snd billions of dollars every single year, its no hurry when the money is already good.

DUMBEST ARGUMENT EVER...
you think hair loss industry is controlled by one person??
Money may be good for one or two companies but plenty of other companies are trying to get a piece of that. Yes! COMPETITION! By producing a better product, those new companies will gain some of that market share that is currently dominated by the makers of Propecia and Rogaine.
Fortunately, the major companies in this industry are pathetic since all of its two products are crap.
Rogaine is not effective and most people won't even bother with propecia after googling "propecia side effects".
That means that there are a TON of people who won't even bother treating hair loss because the current treatments are shit. UNTAPPED MARKET.
Think of how much money can be made if all these hair loss sufferers had access to a one-time side-effect-free injection treatment... Whoever comes up with such treatment, will make A LOT of money from all these people.

I created an account here just to ask this question lol...what would happen if I buy some shares of stock in the company and they come up with a complete cure for baldness, but then they sell it to a big pharma company? would the stock still go up? how would that affect the stock price? I hope someone who really knows about this kind of thing responds.

Maybe we can compare this to what happened in the late 90's with Viagra? It was(is) a practical, highly effective cure to ED, when all that was available at that time were terrible methods such as injections directly in the guy's dick.
So, see what happened with Pfizer's stock - before and after 1998, when their cure was available.

It depends whether they sell the product or the company.
If they sell the product it will presumably have a royalty attached to it and the share price will likely go very high but it may take years to get there.
If they sell the entire company then the share price will go up to whatever the offer price is. If the pharma company offers $10 a share then you will get $10 a share (assuming you choose to sell).
So in the first case you will probably get more money but have to wait longer, in the second case you probably won't get as much money but it will come all in one hit.

On November 30 (2011), the company announced that it would convert all 13 million shares of Class C stock into 2.6 million shares of common stock. All told, this will bring the total shares of common stock in RepliCel up to 43,150,006 shares, currently selling for $2.55 per share.
So a lot of ppl putting money into it.
Anyone have any idea how much 50 shares could get me if the company went and made it BIG TIME ?

2020 uses logic
I agree with 2020...the number one motivator for the 'Big Four' is MONEY not for any humanitarian reasons. That is NOT a bad thing. Replicel may have some decent info' for us in April 2012.
