What are Expensive Shares?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As an investor, have you ever wondered which is the most expensive share in the world? The term “expensive” means different things to different types of stock market<\/a> investors. For example, an experienced trader will label a stock as expensive if it trades in higher multiples (read PE ratio) than the industry average.
