Yet, this would have been outpaced by the AMD purchase, given that you omit the fact after AMD fell by around 80% from 2011-2016, it is trading at nearly $100 a share today, a 14-fold increase over its share price of around $6 in 2011.

Buying AMD isn't and hasn't been ignorant over the decade. Any semiconductor fabriacation or photolithography would have served the smart person well--granted they actually understand anything about the industry or the data movement.

Problem with these posts is that they take many confusing facts and pair them into premises that lead to conclusions that aren't based in reality.
