I have in the past made money by investing in times of trouble, just in companies that I thought had a future. For example I bought up stay at home stocks like Amazon in March 2020, but also bought the dip in Simon Properties in May 2020 and held until 2022 for a nice profit.
First Republic Bank is a little different. They may end up like the many companies in 2009 that went away forever and there never was a chance of a lifesaver. However, what if they do get saved? What if something happens out of left field soon, such as the government suddenly doing a 180 and saying they are going to bail them out. Crazier things have happened.
