I hope you bought some anyway, those are worth 80 times that today. 😱 🤪
I told my wife when Ryzen was presented late 2016, that it was an opportunity of a life time. It was around 8 at the time. We had never bough stock before, and the few days it took for us to make a trade account, it had already increased to above 10. We didn't have much to invest at the time, but the AMD stock helped us to be able to buy a house.
When we had scraped a little bit together again, My wife OKed that we bought a small portion again, because I thought AMD would be the closest to compete with Nvidia on AI, and as far as I could tell, they had very competitive FP units already with the Radeon RX480. They just didn't have the economic strength to compete head to head with Nvidia on AI at the time.
Even if AI came to nothing, their rise in server market share made it a pretty safe bet IMO.

Yeah, I got some at $15 in back in 2018 because I sold my $2 shares when I was excited it made it to $10 because I didn't know anything about stocks and then repurchased at $15 because I just wanted to own the stock after building a new PC.
