The most recent departure is one that kind of snuck up on me: Baidu (BIDU). Once upon a time, I bought and sold this stock for 193% gain (288% annualized!).

From there on, BIDU was always in the black for me...until one day, I woke up and realized that its been quietly yet consistently underperforming for half a decade:
