> As I eagerly await the beginning of the next game, I was checking out the results from previous games. Why did the most recent game's winner have the lowest score?

We tried something a little different with the previous game. The goal was to *lose* the most money rather than gain the most. The strategy changes when you have to lose money, because the more successful you are, the less money you have to invest in losing stocks. I think it went well. The next game will be a "straight" game, but I will do the "losing" variation again, perhaps for game #5.
