There are some questions you can answer easily. However, there may also be some questions that you admit that you don't have the answers to or don't want to answer. That's the question you dread.

These questions could relate to features in a new product release, the timing of a funding event such as an initial public offering (IPO), or commentary on some recent newsworthy event that is a politically hot topic. .
