I used to post a Weekly Business Quiz regularly. I did post 668 of them . Due to some personal reasons I have been lax in posting them. Last I posted in March this year. I am really sorry that I did not post any after that.

I hope to keep posting Business Quizzes in this site. I am not able to commit it will be one every week. So I am starting a new numbering under the name Business News Quiz. The format will be similar, except that I will post them when I have sufficient number of 10 questions.
