For me it was not buying Moderna and Pfizer stocks before the corona virus bull run. I saw everything coming and yet didn't buy it. Like Bitcoin in 2017 I bought it almost at the top so I made a little bit of money but not at all what I could have done. My lesson: never follow moral or ethical principals too strongly. In a country when everyone will be against you just buy what people believe will be useful.
Or one could also follow Nancy's Pelosi stock portfolio and outperform by degrees of magnitude! :D

Especially when government money is involved

Exactly, just go with the flow. Recently I read that in the 1920s during hyperinflation, highly graded Austrians from the military got reckt too because they followed moral and ethical principals too strongly. If they corrupted themselves a little bit like politicians they wouldn't have been reckt and they could even have made money.
