Thing is with questions like "What is the share price today ...?" - Do you reckon they are simply there to apply a little pressure and put you off guard so to speak ? I mean, surely people are only interested in specific share price values when they actaully have shares in that company (Or am I hopelessly ignorant here !?). I can understand an interest in trends etc... in order to help understand the financial/commercial position of the company you are hoping to join, but the exact value that day !?! I just think that if I'd known the answer to a question like that I'd feel "over-prepared". Basically, I believe most people would only make a point of learning such things if they explicitly knew that question might crop up. Just a thought that's all... It'd be interesting to hear from people who have answered both correctly and incorrectly to such questions....
