AMD's stock is wild. It was around $2 just a few years ago and has been on a non-stop trend up to almost $60 today.

Wild is to put it mildly, the stock is historically extremely volatile. If past performance predicts anything, it could potentially tank in the next couple of years, like it did the last few times it shot up. Obviously they are doing some great work, but I wouldn't go all in on them for the long haul.

to each their own. can't have reward without risk. hard to find another investment that returned 30x in a few years.

Sure, but you buy in years ago when it was $3 not all time high. It's sure as shit not going to go 30x from this point in a few years. That's my point, AMD is so cyclical, it's scary right now.
