First Republic Bank was 'too good to fail' with highest customer NPS for years. enraptured partners.
99% of shareholders got killed. only jpm benefits years later from getting many HNW clients very cheaply.

i'm kinda interested in anecdotes/memories about times when this happened to you:
- You realised something particular was wrong with a company, main product, sector, CEO, economy, country or whatever
- In hindsight, you totally nailed it with your forecast - 100% right
- But in the moment, you didn't act, you figured it would maybe work out OK, you decided that maybe you were over-reacting, the hassle of doing a trade outweighed your concern
The key thing I'm looking for is that you understood the problem, but inaction won out over action.
Any interesting anecdotes?
