The good news is that the game is over because we now have a winner.
The bad news is that 3 of you are not winners.

Good game Bros. I do think I had a bit of an advantage given the work I do but I'll take the dub. Good job to the other podiums

Any other guesses as to the company that dropped the most? It was an impressive ~700 spots if I recall right.

Something wrecked by the pandemic, I'd have to assume.

Carnival Cruise Lines?

Correct!

Incorrect, but that made the top 20 biggest fallers I believe.

GG, everybody, and well done, slim! I too feel like I lasted as long as I did due to an occupational advantage...

Bummer that Broadcom was my second guess, because I'm pretty sure it was right, and I have a couple other ideas that I felt good about, too. Had no idea Anadarko got acquired by Occi Pete a couple years ago.

Thanks for running, irtm! You probably weren't counting on 35+ rounds when you started this thing...

Cheers for running IRTM and wp Slim.

To the person who sent me a PM which can basically be summed up as "Did you cheat?", that's not even worth a reply so don't bother waiting for it.

i went for a hotel but couldn't decide which one, seem like it should probably be a lower ranked company as well.

could be some airline too

looks like hotels didn't drop that much

American, Delta, United, Southwest all still on the list though.

I guess Jet Blue is possible. No way any other airline started in the top 300, right?

I was thinking maybe Navient or some other company that collects student loans because of the deferment through nearly all of 2020.

So it's something affected hard by covid, but it's not an airline or hotel or cruise line?

A theater company like AMC? I know they got pumped up by the WSB crowd, but that was after the new year.
