What is the most expensive stock on the US Stock Market. I know for a
fact its a prestigious insurance of some kind, but I dont know the
name or the amount of its shares. I got into a debate with a freind of
mine and I'm pretty certain it is an insurance company that not many
know about, but I cant seem to find any information to prove it.
Please help! If possible can I have an answer before tomorrow at
around 11:30?? If not that is fine. Thank you

Oh by the way I meant 11:30am CST, sorry for not mentioning that earlier

From a Washington Journal article dated September 2002:

?The most expensive stock is Warren Buffet's investment company,
Berkshire Hathaway. Its stock currently trades for around $75,000 a
share.?

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is a holding company that owns subsidiaries
engaged in both primary insurance and reinsurance of property and
casualty risks. The Company also reinsures life and health risks.

From a Bloomberg News Special Report: 

"Berkshire's two classes of common stock, listed on the NYSE, have the
highest price tag. The insurance and investment company's Class A
shares closed at $86,490 each. Class B shares, each amounting to
1/30th of a Class A share and carrying 1/200th of the voting rights,
closed at $2,881.10."

The table at the following webpage shows a list of the highest priced stocks.
