The 15 Most Expensive Stocks In The US

With  Apple straddling $600 today, we decided to look at other stocks whose single shares trade up in the nosebleeds. It's important to remember that the nominal price of a share means almost nothing from an investor standpoint.
Technically, what makes a stock "expensive" is its ratios (price to earnings, price to book etc.) still, big round numbers are always fun to gawk at.
